Stanley 16-976 Fatmax Short Blade Chisel 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The STANLEY 16-976 is a short blade chisel from the FatMax line, designed for cutting, paring, and mortising in wood and composite materials. The shortened blade profile gives tradespeople and finish carpenters better control in tight spaces and confined work areas. At 0.59 pounds, it is light enough for extended use without fatigue. The 5/8 inch blade width is a standard size suited for common joinery and door hardware work, making it a practical addition to a working tool kit for carpenters, contractors, and general tradespeople.

This chisel is appropriate for residential and light commercial construction applications including door hinge mortising, joint fitting, and trim carpentry. The short blade design is particularly useful when working in recessed or confined areas where a full-length chisel would be difficult to control or maneuver. It is sold individually per unit.

Installation Notes

This chisel is a hand tool used by carpenters, finish contractors, and general tradespeople. Always strike with a mallet rated for use with chisels, not a metal hammer, to avoid handle damage. Keep the blade sharp and properly angled to reduce slipping and maintain clean cuts. Store with a blade guard in place to protect the cutting edge and prevent injury.
