Cold Chisel

Cold chisels for cutting and chipping metal and masonry, in nine sizes across two brands. Dress the struck end on a grinder when it starts to mushroom — a mushroomed head throws steel splinters, and that is what puts chisels in the accident book.

• Beast — the heavier forging, five sizes from 18 × 250 to 25 × 300 mm.
• Dekton — the budget 18 × 250 mm, for occasional use.
• With hand guard — a rubber shield over the shaft. Worth the extra on any chisel you are holding while someone else swings.
