FAQs

What materials can these chisels be used on?

These Xtrade Cold Chisels are designed for use on a variety of metals, including steel, iron, aluminum, and brass. They are not recommended for concrete, stone, or hardened steel.

What size hammer should I use?

A medium-weight engineer's hammer or ball-peen hammer, typically weighing between 2 to 3 pounds (approx. 1 to 1.4 kg), is generally suitable for most tasks. The exact size may depend on the specific application and user preference.

Does the set come with a hammer?

No, the Xtrade Cold Chisels Set includes three chisels only. A separate hammer is required for operation.

How do I maintain the chisels to prevent rust?

After use, clean the chisels and dry them thoroughly. Apply a light coating of oil to the metal surfaces before storing them in a dry location. This is especially important if storing for long periods.

Can I sharpen these chisels myself?

Yes, the chisels can be sharpened using a grinding wheel or a sharpening stone. It is important to maintain the original bevel angle for effective cutting.

What are the exact measurements of the chisels included?

The set includes three chisels with cutting edges measuring 10mm, 12mm, and 16mm.

Troubleshooting

Chisel tip is chipping or deforming.

Ensure you are using the chisel on appropriate metals and not on harder materials. Check that the striking surface (butt) of the chisel is not mushroomed or damaged. Avoid excessive force.

Cuts are not clean or accurate.

Verify that the chisel tip is sharp. Sharpen the chisel if necessary. Ensure the chisel is held at a consistent angle to the material and that strikes are controlled.

Chisel is rusting.

Clean the chisel thoroughly after use and store it in a dry place. Apply a light coat of oil to the metal surfaces, especially for long-term storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These chisels require a striking tool, such as a ball-peen hammer or engineer's hammer, to operate. Ensure the chisel head is securely placed on the material you intend to cut or shape, and strike the chisel's striking end (the butt) firmly with the hammer.

Compatibility:

This set is designed for use on a variety of metal materials, including steel, iron, aluminum, and brass. It is not intended for use on hard materials like concrete, stone, or hardened steel, as this may damage the chisel tips.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, clean the chisels to remove any metal debris or rust. A dry cloth is usually sufficient.
  • Storage: Store the chisels in a dry environment to prevent rust. A tool roll or a dedicated organizer is recommended.
  • Sharpening: Periodically inspect the cutting edges. If they become dull or nicked, they can be sharpened on a grinding wheel or with a sharpening stone. Always maintain the original bevel angle for optimal performance.
  • Maintenance: Apply a light coat of oil to the metal surfaces if storing for extended periods to further prevent rust.
