Stanley is reviving its old Sweetheart branding yet again, this time for a line of bench chisels. Building on the patterns of its long-retired Model 750 socket chisels, the company will be introducing eight Sweetheart Socket Chisels ($29 and up) this fall from 1/8 inch to 1-1/4 inches wide. The tools have rounded hornbeam handles and wide beveled edges. And finally out is the long-awaited #92 Shoulder Plane — the last to appear in Stanley’s next-generation premium plane line. The iron in this 3/4-inch-wide plane goes the full width of its body, so it specializes in tasks close to an edge, such as trimming tenons and cleaning up dados and rabbets. 800-782-6539, www.stanleytools.com.
