FAQs
Can these chisels be used with a metal hammer?
It is strongly recommended to use a wooden or rubber mallet to preserve the life of the striking cap and the blade edge.
What sizes are included in the set?
The set includes 6mm, 13mm, 19mm, 25mm, and 32mm chisels.
Are these chisels pre-sharpened?
They come with a factory-honed edge, but many woodworkers prefer to touch them up on a sharpening stone before the first use.
How should I clean the handles?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the soft-grip material.
Can I use these on hardwoods like Oak or Maple?
Yes, the hardened and tempered steel is suitable for both softwoods and hardwoods.
Is the storage wallet waterproof?
The wallet is designed for organization and transport, but it is not waterproof; keep it in a dry environment.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull during a cut
Hone the blade using a sharpening stone to restore the edge geometry.
Handle vibrating significantly when struck
Ensure the metal striking cap is firmly seated and you are striking the center of the cap squarely.
Rust spots appearing on the blade
Clean the surface with a fine abrasive pad and apply a light coating of protective tool oil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Minotaur chisels in peak condition, store them in the included branded wallet to prevent moisture buildup and edge damage. Before first use, ensure the blades are cleaned of any factory-applied rust preventative oil. It is recommended to hone the blades on a sharpening stone before your initial project to ensure they are at peak sharpness. After use, lightly wipe the blades with a thin coat of machine oil to protect against corrosion. Always use a wooden or rubber mallet rather than a metal hammer to strike the chisels to extend the lifespan of both the tool and the cutting edge.
