The Roughneck Gorilla Cold Chisel is designed for metalworkers and fabricators tackling demanding jobs. Its key benefit is a combination of exceptional durability and enhanced safety, with a patented non-slip guard. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, making it best suited for metalwork rather than general construction.

This cold chisel is specifically designed for cutting, shaping, and breaking softer metals like mild steel, aluminum, and brass. It is not intended for use on hardened steels or concrete.
The guard features a quick-release design. Locate the mechanism on the guard and slide it off the chisel shaft. It can be reattached by sliding it back on until it locks into place.
Yes, the chrome vanadium steel edge can be re-sharpened using appropriate grinding equipment, such as a bench grinder or file. Be careful not to overheat the steel during sharpening.
A medium-weight engineer's hammer or ball-peen hammer, typically in the 2-3 lb range, is generally suitable for use with this 25mm cold chisel.
The hand guard significantly increases safety by preventing hand slippage. It is recommended for most uses, but can be removed for specific tasks like flush cutting or working in very confined spaces where its presence hinders the job.
After cleaning the chisel, apply a thin layer of lubricating oil (like WD-40 or machine oil) to the blade and shaft. Store in a dry environment, such as a toolbox or tool roll.
Ensure the cutting edge is sharp. If dull, it may need to be re-sharpened or replaced. Verify you are using adequate striking force with an appropriate hammer.
Ensure the guard is correctly locked onto the shaft. Inspect the guard and shaft for any damage that might prevent a secure fit. Clean both the guard and shaft where they connect.
This chisel is designed for metal. Using it on extremely hard materials beyond its intended scope (e.g., hardened tool steel) can cause damage. Ensure you are using the correct striking angle and force.
Setup: The Roughneck Gorilla Cold Chisel is ready for use out of the box. Ensure the non-slip guard is securely in place if you intend to use it for standard chiseling. To remove the guard for flush cutting or accessing tight areas, locate the quick-release mechanism on the guard and slide it off the shaft.
Compatibility: This chisel is designed for use with standard striking tools such as ball-peen hammers or engineer's hammers. The 25mm (1 inch) shaft diameter is standard for this type of tool.
Care: After use, clean the chisel blade to remove any metal debris or residue. Apply a light coat of oil to the blade and shaft to prevent rust, especially if stored for extended periods. Store the chisel in a dry place, ideally in a tool roll or toolbox to protect the cutting edge and prevent damage.
