Stanley 16-320 Bi-material Short Blade Chisel 1.25 in

Product Description

The STANLEY 16-320 is a short blade wood chisel featuring a bi-material handle designed for controlled paring, mortising, and general woodworking tasks. The shorter blade profile gives tradespeople and finish carpenters increased control in tight spaces where a full-length chisel would be difficult to maneuver. The bi-material handle construction combines a hard outer shell with a softer grip surface, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. At 0.57 pounds, it is lightweight enough for one-handed operation. The 1.25-inch blade width suits a range of common mortise and joint work encountered in residential and light commercial construction.

This chisel is suited for finish carpentry, door and window installation, cabinetry, and general woodworking applications. The short blade design is particularly useful when working in confined areas such as door jamb cutouts, built-in cabinetry, and trim work where precise, low-clearance cuts are required. It is sold individually and is appropriate for use by finish carpenters, general contractors, and skilled tradespeople who require a reliable hand tool for detail work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hand chisel for use in finish carpentry, woodworking, and general construction applications requiring a 1.25-inch blade width.

Installation Notes

This chisel is a hand tool requiring no power source or wiring. Always strike the handle with a mallet rated for chisel use rather than a metal hammer to avoid handle damage. Keep the blade sharp and properly honed before use to reduce the force required and improve cut accuracy. Store with a blade guard in place to protect the cutting edge and prevent injury.
