Proto J86A5/8X12S2 Cold Chisel 3/4 in Tip 12 in Steel

Product Description

The PROTO J86A5/8X12S2 is a cold chisel designed for cutting, shaping, and breaking hardened materials such as metal, masonry, and rivets. Built with a 3/4-inch tip and an overall length of 12 inches, this chisel delivers the reach and striking surface needed for demanding trade applications. The steel handle provides durability under repeated hammer strikes, and a full black oxide finish offers corrosion resistance for long service life. It is used primarily by ironworkers, pipefitters, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians working in industrial or commercial settings.

This cold chisel is suited for metal cutting and removal tasks in mechanical, structural, and maintenance applications. The 3/4-inch tip width makes it a practical choice for working in tight spaces or scoring material along a defined line. The 12-inch overall length provides adequate hand clearance from the strike zone, reducing the risk of hand strikes during use. Packaged individually, it fits standard tool kit restocking and single-unit replacement purchases.

Installation Notes

Cold chisels are hand tools used by mechanics, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians — no power connection or system shutdown is required before use. Always wear ANSI-rated eye protection and appropriate hand protection when striking the chisel. Inspect the striking head before each use and discard if mushrooming or cracking is present. Use a hammer or mallet rated for the material hardness being worked.
