This Draper Tools 63743 octagonal shank cold chisel is designed for masonry work, offering durability and precision with its selected steel construction and polished cutting edge. It is ideal for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts tackling demolition, shaping, or cutting tasks in brick, stone, or concrete. A potential caveat is that it's a single unit, and depending on the project scale, multiple chisels might be needed. Key features include its robust octagonal shank for secure grip and reduced slipping, a sharp, polished cutting edge for efficient material removal, and adherence to BS3066 standards for quality assurance.

The chisel is made from selected steel, known for its durability and strength.
An octagonal shank has eight sides, which provides a better grip for the user and a more stable surface for striking with a hammer, reducing the chance of the chisel slipping.
No, this chisel is specifically designed for masonry work (brick, stone, concrete) and is not intended for cutting or shaping metal.
It generally complies with BS3066, a British Standard for cold chisels.
The cutting edge can be maintained by periodic resharpening using a sharpening stone or grinding wheel. Always ensure it is clean and dry after use.
The cutting edge is 25mm wide, and the overall length of the chisel is 250mm.
The product information does not specify a protective cover; it is supplied display packed. It is recommended to use or create a sheath for safe storage.
Ensure the cutting edge is sharp. Resharpen if necessary. Check for any damage or excessive wear on the edge.
Ensure you are holding the chisel firmly and striking squarely on the octagonal shank. Avoid hitting the cutting edge directly with the hammer.
Clean the affected area with a wire brush. Dry the chisel thoroughly and apply a light coat of oil to prevent further rust.
