When to choose it

Choose the HCT153 when you want the same grip length as the HCT154 with a smaller blade width for a spindle detail. It makes a useful pair to compare for narrower coves or closely spaced beads.

The maker's listing gives the same 16.25-inch overall length for the two detail gouges. The width is the useful distinction, so check the space around the feature rather than choosing by length alone.
