Product Description

The STANLEY FMHT16494 is a cold chisel built for cutting, shaping, and breaking hard materials such as metal, masonry, and concrete. It features a 1-inch straight blade and a 6-inch overall length, making it a compact and controllable option for tight work. The bi-material hand guard is ergonomically designed to reduce slipping, absorb vibration during impact, and protect the hand from overstrike. This tool is suited for use by plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who need a reliable hand tool for rough cutting and material removal tasks on the job site or in the shop.

This cold chisel is appropriate for both residential and commercial trade applications where hand-driven cutting of metal, tile, mortar, or concrete is required. Its compact 6-inch length allows use in confined spaces and on benchwork alike. The straight tip profile makes it well suited for scoring, splitting, and shearing tasks common in mechanical and construction trades. It is sold individually and is ready for immediate use with a standard striking hammer.

Installation Notes

This chisel is a hand-driven tool intended for use with a ball-peen or club hammer of appropriate weight. Always wear safety glasses and gloves when striking a cold chisel, as metal fragments and chips can be ejected during use. Inspect the chisel head for mushrooming before each use and dress the head with a file or grinder if deformation is present. Do not use with a power hammer or pneumatic tool unless the tool is rated for such use.
