Stanley 16-316 1 Inch Wood Chisel

Product Description

The STANLEY 16-316 is a 1-inch wood chisel built for precise paring, chopping, and mortising work in wood. The blade is forged from chrome carbon steel, hardened and tempered for lasting edge retention. A lacquer finish over the blade provides corrosion protection between uses. The short-series blade geometry increases rigidity, giving the user more control during heavy mallet work or hand-pressure cuts. Carpenters, millwrights, finish carpenters, and general contractors routinely keep this size on hand for door hardware prep, joinery fitting, and trim work.

This chisel is suited for residential and light commercial carpentry applications. The 1-inch width is one of the most common sizes in general woodworking, making it a practical choice for mortise layout, hinge recesses, and joint cleanup. The bi-material handle is designed to absorb impact, making it compatible with both mallet-driven and hand-pressure tasks. A blade guard is included to protect the cutting edge during storage and transport on the job site.

Installation Notes

This chisel is a hand tool used by carpenters and woodworkers and does not require electrical isolation or utility shutoff before use. Keep the blade guard in place whenever the chisel is not actively cutting. Use a wooden or rubber mallet when driving the chisel with a striking tool to avoid damaging the handle. Maintain the cutting edge with a sharpening stone or honing guide to preserve performance.
