I was looking to buy a cheap set of chisels and ran into this. http://www.harborfreight.com/12-piec...set-66440.html
http://www.harborfreight.com/12-piec...-set-4885.html
The first set is called a cold chisel and is made of chrome vanadium and the second set is called industrial and is made of carbon steel. I think the chrome vanadium is harder. If it is harder, why would you want the softer ones. Maybe less brittle. Does anyone know of situations in which one would be better than the other?
