SAFETY & USE

The Cap Chisels are metalworker's tools for cutting keyways, slots and other rectangular grooves into metal. It is also used in demolition to remove a large amount of metal from a surface. Unlike standard broad chisels, a cape chisel has a cutting edge that is wider that its body. This shape keeps the chisel's edge from getting stuck in the groove as it cuts into metal. Never use a Cold Chisel on material which is harder than the chisel's cutting edge.

The chisel has a cutting edge at one end, and a struck face at the other to be struck with a ball-peen or machinists hammer. Never strike with a nail hammer and never strike anywhere except the struck face.

Always strike the chisel with a light, cautious blow when starting a job to determine the relative hardness of the metal to be cut. Always wear safety goggles when using a cold chisel as well as when using all struck hand tools.
