FAQs

What types of wood can these chisels be used on?

These chisels are suitable for a wide range of softwoods and hardwoods. For very dense hardwoods, ensure blades are exceptionally sharp and use controlled force.

How do I maintain the bevel edge?

Regular honing with the included sharpening stone and guide is recommended after each use or as needed. Ensure a consistent angle for optimal results.

Can I use these chisels with a power hammer?

No, these chisels are designed for manual use with a mallet or hammer. Using them with power tools can cause damage and is unsafe.

What is the purpose of the hammer-thru shaft?

The hammer-thru shaft extends the full length of the handle, allowing the force from the hammer to be directly transferred to the cutting edge. This provides more power and increases the durability of the chisel.

How often should I sharpen the chisels?

The frequency of sharpening depends on usage. For best results, hone the edge before each significant work session. Sharpening may be needed less often if only light paring is performed.

What is included in the set besides the chisels?

The set includes six chisels in various sizes, a 203mm sharpening stone, a honing guide, and a storage case.

Are replacement parts available for the storage case?

If you experience issues with the storage case, please contact Loops customer support for assistance with replacement parts or warranty claims.

Troubleshooting

Chisel not cutting cleanly

Ensure the blade is properly sharpened and honed. Use the included sharpening stone and honing guide to maintain a keen edge.

Handle feels loose after striking

Check that the hammer strikes are squarely on the striking cap. Avoid excessive force that could damage the handle or ferrule. If loose, contact customer support.

Rust appears on the blade

Clean the blade thoroughly with a soft cloth and mild abrasive if necessary. Dry completely and apply a light coat of tool oil. Store in a dry environment.

Honing guide is difficult to use

Ensure you are holding the chisel firmly in the guide and maintaining a consistent angle. Practice on a scrap piece of wood. Refer to the guide's manual for specific instructions.

Storage case latch is broken

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Initial Setup:

  1. Unpack all components from the storage case.
  2. Inspect each chisel for any shipping damage.
  3. Before first use, ensure all blades are sharp. Use the included sharpening stone and honing guide to hone the bevel edges to your desired sharpness. Follow the guide's instructions to maintain a consistent angle.

Compatibility:

  • This set is designed for manual woodworking applications.
  • Compatible with wooden or polymer mallets.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: After each use, clean the blades with a soft, dry cloth to remove wood dust and sap. For stubborn residue, use a cloth lightly dampened with mineral spirits, then dry immediately.
  • Sharpening: Regularly sharpen the blades using the provided honing guide and stone. For very dull or damaged edges, a bench grinder may be used cautiously, followed by honing.
  • Storage: Store the chisels in their original case, ensuring the blades are protected and do not contact each other to prevent damage.
  • Rust Prevention: Apply a light coat of tool oil or paste wax to the blades when storing for extended periods, especially in humid environments.
