Hilka Cold Chisel With Grip - 12"

A chisel is a tool with a shaped cutting edge blade at one end which is used to carve or cut hard material such as wood, stone or metal. A chisel is used by forcing it through material to cut it. Most commonly with hand chisels the force is applied to the chisel using a mallet or hammer. There are many different types of chisel each specially suited to its intended use.A cold chisel is a tool made of tempered steel used for cutting metals. They are used to remove waste metal when a very smooth finish is not required or when the work cannot be done easily with other tools. The name cold chisel comes from its use by blacksmiths to cut metal while it was cold compared to other tools they used to cut hot metal. Cold chisels have less-acute angle to the sharp portion of the blade than a woodworking chisel. This gives greater strength at the expense of sharpness. The Hilka 12" cold chisel has been manufactured from chrome vanadium with a hex shank and ground cutting edge. This chisel has been fitted with a soft rubber impact absorbing hand protection grip.
