Stanley 16-316 Bi-material Short Blade Chisel 1 Inch

Product Description

The STANLEY 16-316 is a 1-inch bi-material short blade wood chisel designed for precision paring, mortising, and general woodworking tasks. The bi-material handle combines a rigid core with a grip-friendly overmold, giving tradespeople and finish carpenters a secure hold during both hand-pressure and mallet-driven work. The shortened blade profile makes this chisel well-suited for tight clearances and confined workspaces where a standard-length blade would be difficult to maneuver. At 0.5 pounds, the tool stays lightweight through extended use without sacrificing control. Carpenters, cabinetmakers, and general contractors reach for this chisel when fitting door hardware, trimming tenons, or cleaning out hinge mortises.

The 16-316 is appropriate for residential and light commercial construction, millwork, and finish carpentry applications. The 1-inch blade width covers a common range of mortise and paring tasks. The short blade length is particularly useful when working inside cabinet boxes, door jambs, or other areas with limited swing room. This chisel is sold individually and is intended for professional-grade use in job-site conditions.

Installation Notes

Wood chisels are installed by carpenters and general tradespeople as hand tools requiring no power-down procedure, though adjacent electrical or mechanical systems should be de-energized before working in their vicinity. Keep the blade edge protected when not in use to prevent injury and edge damage. Use an appropriate wooden or rubber mallet when driving the chisel; metal hammers can damage the handle over time. Maintain a sharp edge using a honing stone or sharpening guide for clean, controlled cuts.
