Product highlights

Safety recommendations
- In preference, choose tools with a hand guard. In the absence of a hand guard, use a hammer or club hammer with carefully rounded corners and edges to avoid cutting your hand due to a mis-hit.
- The head of the chisel will show edging from repeated strikes of the hammer and soon sharp metal burrs will appear, which must be removed regularly. Thissituation is normal because the chisel head is not hardened too much in order to avoid causing metal splinters.
- Never use a chisel made from a piece of hardened steel destined for other use (torsion bar from car suspension for example) : in this case, you will strike a highly hardened head with an equally highly hardened hammer and there will be a serious risk of creating metal splinters.
- Fragments of stone and concrete can also be dangerous for the worker and those around.
- Wear goggles, gloves and protective clothing.
