I have a set of the clear yellow handle Stanley's I bough 25 years ago, and
while they are a tad soft, I have never found them to be brittle. I keep mine
clean and sharpened up for benchwork but they are the ones I take to
construction projects and let others use because it doesn't kill me to have to
grind them back if necessary. They have been a decent chisel for me. Not as
good as my marples blue chip, not nearly as good as my variety of older wooden
handle chisels, but decent.
