Stanley 16-304 Bi-material Wood Chisel

Product Description

The STANLEY 16-304 is a bi-material wood chisel designed for cutting, paring, and shaping wood in both rough framing and finish carpentry applications. The bi-material handle construction combines a rigid core with a softer outer grip layer, providing control during hand pressure work and resistance to mallet strikes. At 0.39 pounds, it is a lightweight single chisel suited for one-handed use across a range of wood removal tasks. Carpenters, finish tradespeople, and skilled DIYers keep this chisel in rotation for everyday joinery and trim work.

The STANLEY 16-304 is appropriate for residential and light commercial woodworking tasks, including door hinge mortising, joint cleanup, and general wood paring. It is sold as a single unit and fits standard chisel rolls and tool pouches. The bi-material handle design makes it suitable for use with a wooden mallet or rubber mallet without handle damage.

Key Features

• Bi-material handle offers a rigid core with cushioned overmold for control and strike resistance
• Lightweight at 0.39 pounds for reduced fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks
• Suitable for hand pressure paring and mallet-driven chopping
• Single-unit packaging for individual tool replacement or kit supplementation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose wood chisel compatible with standard woodworking and carpentry applications requiring a hand-held or mallet-driven cutting tool.

Installation Notes

Wood chisels are installed by hand or driven with a wooden or rubber mallet — never use a steel hammer directly on the handle. Keep the cutting edge sharp using appropriate sharpening stones to maintain clean cuts and reduce the force required per stroke. Store in a chisel roll or with an edge guard in place to protect the blade and prevent injury.
