Apex 82262 Cold Chisel Phosphate Coated Alloy Steel 5 Inches

Product Description

The APEX 82262 is a phosphate-coated alloy steel cold chisel designed for cutting through metal in demanding trade and industrial applications. At 5 inches in length and weighing 0.13 pounds, it is sized for precise, controlled strikes on rivets, bolts, and damaged or seized fasteners that cannot be removed by conventional tools. The work end features a precision-hardened cutting point engineered to withstand repeated impact, while the strike end is softened and tapered to minimize chipping and reduce the risk of mushrooming under hammer blows.

This cold chisel suits automotive, mechanical, plumbing, and general maintenance trades where stuck or corroded fasteners require mechanical persuasion beyond wrenches or extractors. The phosphate coating provides a base-level corrosion resistance and improves paint or coating adhesion for storage. The 5-inch overall length keeps the tool compact for work in tighter spaces while still providing adequate hand clearance from the strike zone.

Key Features

• Precision-hardened cutting tip for sustained impact performance on metal fasteners
• Softened and tapered strike end reduces chipping and mushrooming hazard
• Phosphate coating adds corrosion resistance and surface durability
• Alloy steel construction provides the toughness required for cold-chisel service
• Compact 5-inch length suits confined work areas

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold chisel suitable for use across automotive, mechanical, and maintenance trades wherever metal cutting or fastener removal is required.

Installation Notes

Cold chisels are struck with a ball-peen or engineer's hammer rated for chisel work — never use a claw hammer. Always wear ANSI-rated eye protection when striking, as metal fragments can eject at high velocity. Inspect the strike end before each use and discontinue use if mushrooming develops. This tool is intended for use by trained trade professionals familiar with hand-tool safety practices.
