Stanley 16-312 Bi-material Chisel

Product Description

The STANLEY 16-312 is a bi-material chisel designed for cutting, shaping, and paring wood in general carpentry and joinery applications. The bi-material handle construction combines a hard outer shell with a comfortable grip core, providing durability under mallet strikes while reducing hand fatigue during extended use. Weighing 0.45 pounds, this chisel is a practical hand tool for carpenters, finish trimmers, and skilled tradespeople who need a reliable edge tool on the job site or in the shop.

This chisel is suited for residential and light commercial woodworking tasks, including door hinge mortising, notching framing members, and general wood paring. Its compact weight makes it easy to carry in a tool belt or pouch. Carpenters, trim installers, and general contractors are the primary users of this type of chisel in day-to-day trade work.

Installation Notes

This chisel is a hand tool installed and used by carpenters and general tradespeople. Keep the blade edge sharp using an appropriate honing stone or sharpening guide before use. Always strike the handle only with a wooden or rubber mallet, never a metal hammer, to avoid handle damage. Store with a blade guard in place to protect the cutting edge and prevent injury.
