Stanley 16-976 Fatmax Wood Chisel 5/8 Inch

Product Description

The STANLEY 16-976 is a FatMax wood chisel designed for precise wood-removal tasks including mortising, paring, and joint cutting. It features a bi-material handle that absorbs mallet strikes while providing a secure grip during hand-pressure work. The blade tip measures 5/8 inch wide, making it well suited for medium-width cuts in furniture joinery, door hardware installation, and general carpentry. This chisel is built for repeated use in demanding job-site conditions and is backed by a manufacturer lifetime warranty. Woodworkers, carpenters, and general contractors are the primary users.

The STANLEY 16-976 is appropriate for residential and light commercial woodworking applications. It performs well in situations requiring controlled material removal, such as fitting door hinges, cleaning out routed slots, or chopping mortises by hand or with a wooden mallet. The 5/8-inch tip width suits standard mortise and tenon joint dimensions commonly encountered in interior finish carpentry and cabinet work.

Installation Notes

This chisel is a hand tool used by carpenters and woodworkers and does not require electrical disconnection or gas shutoff before use. Keep the blade edge sharp using appropriate honing stones or grinding equipment to maintain safe cutting control. Always direct cutting force away from the body and secure workpieces firmly before chiseling. Inspect the handle for cracks or splitting before each use.
