Irwin M44438N Bevel Edge Wood Chisel 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The IRWIN M44438N is a bevel edge wood chisel designed for precise woodworking and joinery tasks. The bevel edge profile allows the blade to reach into tight corners and undercut dovetails, mortises, and other fine joints with accuracy. The handle is constructed from polypropylene, offering durability and resistance to impact during mallet use. At 3/8 inch wide, this chisel is well suited for detail work in narrow grooves, mortises, and hinge recesses. Woodworkers, carpenters, and finish trades professionals will find this a practical addition to a general tool kit.

This chisel is sized for detail and finish carpentry applications where control in confined spaces is required. The 3/8 inch blade width is a standard choice for cutting hinge mortises on doors, fitting lock hardware, cleaning up joinery, and shaping wood in tight areas. It is appropriate for both bench and site use in residential and light commercial construction environments.
