Installation Notes

Cold chisels are hand-strike tools intended for use by qualified trade professionals including ironworkers, pipefitters, and general mechanics. Always use an appropriate ball-peen or engineer's hammer rated for chisel work — never use a claw hammer. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection during all chiseling operations to guard against metal chips and fragments. Inspect the chisel tip and strike face before each use and discard if mushrooming or cracking is present on the strike end.
