Tekton 66009 Cold Chisel 1 in Blade 8 in Oal

Product Description

The TEKTON 66009 is a cold chisel designed for cutting, shaping, and breaking hard materials such as metal, concrete, and masonry. With a 1-inch blade width and an 8-inch overall length, it provides the leverage and control needed for precision work in tight spaces or broad strikes against flat stock. This type of chisel is a standard hand tool in the trades, used wherever a hammer-driven cutting edge is required. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors reach for cold chisels when removing seized fasteners, cutting conduit knockouts, or chipping away at mortar and brick.

The 66009 suits a wide range of job-site applications including cutting mild steel, cast iron, and masonry. Its 1-inch blade makes it a versatile mid-size option appropriate for both residential and light commercial work. Typical use cases include notching metal studs, breaking corroded pipe fittings, scoring concrete block, and cleaning out weld slag. The 8-inch length keeps knuckles clear of the strike zone during hammer blows, which is a practical advantage during extended use.

Key Features

• 1-inch blade width for versatile cuts across flat stock and masonry surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose cold chisel compatible with standard ball-peen hammers and hand-drilling hammers used in metalworking, plumbing, electrical, and masonry trade applications.

Installation Notes

Always wear safety glasses when striking a cold chisel, as metal and masonry fragments can travel at high velocity. Inspect the chisel head before each use and discard if the striking end shows mushrooming, cracking, or chipping. Use a ball-peen or hand-drilling hammer rated for the material being worked - never a finish hammer. Keep hands and fingers clear of the blade path during operation.
