Klein Tools 66183 Cold Chisel 1x12 Inch

Product Description

The Klein Tools 66183 is a cold chisel designed for cutting, shaping, and breaking hardened materials such as concrete, masonry, brick, and metal. At 1 inch wide and 12 inches long, it provides the reach and surface area needed for heavy-duty hand-tool work in construction, mechanical, and utility applications. The 66183 is a standard tool for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who need to cut through masonry or remove fasteners and welds. It is driven by a hammer or mallet and does not require a power source.

This cold chisel is suited for residential and commercial job sites where chipping, scoring, or removing hard materials is required. Common applications include cutting through block walls for conduit or pipe penetrations, breaking concrete anchors, and cleaning up welds or castings. Its 12-inch length keeps hands clear of the strike zone during use.

Key Features

• 1 inch cutting width provides a broad, controlled cutting edge for masonry and metal work
• 12-inch overall length keeps hands away from the hammer strike area
• Designed for use with a hand hammer or mallet
• Sized for single-hand control during chipping and scoring tasks
• Compact weight of 2.05 pounds supports extended use without excess fatigue

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold chisel for hand-tool use in masonry, concrete, and metalworking applications across residential and commercial trade work.

Installation Notes

Cold chisels are used by electricians, plumbers, and construction tradespeople for material removal and penetration work. Always wear ANSI-rated safety glasses when striking a cold chisel, as material fragments can eject at high velocity. Inspect the chisel head before each use and remove any mushroomed metal from the strike end to reduce the risk of spalling. Do not use with a powered hammer unless the tool is specifically rated for that application.
