Product Information
Full details
This Teng Tools Flat Cold Chisel is designed for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts needing to cut, shape, and remove softer metals. Its primary benefit is its hardened steel construction, ensuring durability and a long-lasting sharp edge for precise work. A key consideration is that it's intended for use on metals softer than the chisel's cutting edge, not for hardened steel or demolition tasks. Key features include its robust steel build, a broad 25mm cutting edge, and a 200mm length for good leverage and control.

Troubleshooting
Chisel not cutting effectively
Ensure the metal being cut is softer than the chisel's edge. Check if the cutting edge is dulled and requires sharpening. Verify you are striking with sufficient force.
Chisel chipping or deforming
The chisel may be used on a material that is too hard, or it might be subjected to excessive force. Cease use if the cutting edge shows significant damage.
Rust appearing on the chisel
Clean the chisel thoroughly after use and store it in a dry place. Light rust can often be removed with fine steel wool or a wire brush.
