Proto J86A7/8X8S2 Cold Chisel 1 in Tip 8 in Steel Handle

Product Description

The PROTO J86A7/8X8S2 is a cold chisel designed for cutting, shaping, and chipping hardened materials including metal, masonry, and fasteners. It features a 1-inch tip width and an 8-inch overall length with a 7/8-inch stock size, making it well-suited for general metal-working and mechanical tasks. The handle is steel construction with a full black oxide finish that provides corrosion resistance during regular shop or field use. This chisel is a standard hand tool installed by mechanics, ironworkers, pipefitters, and general maintenance trades.

The J86A7/8X8S2 is used in residential, commercial, and industrial maintenance environments wherever metal cutting or cold-working is required. Common applications include removing seized fasteners, cutting keyways, splitting collars, and chipping excess weld material. The 1-inch tip provides broad cutting contact for flat stock work, while the 8-inch length delivers sufficient hand clearance when driving with a hammer. Suitable for use in mechanical rooms, fabrication shops, and field service applications.

Installation Notes

Cold chisels are typically used by mechanics, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians. Always wear safety glasses and appropriate hand protection when driving a chisel with a hammer. Inspect the chisel head for mushrooming before each use and dress the head with a file or grinder if deformation is present. Never strike a cold chisel with a striking tool that has a smaller face than the chisel head.
