Product Information

Full details

The Draper Tools 51554 Octagonal Flat Cold Chisel is designed for professional use in masonry and metalworking applications, offering durability and precision for tasks like cutting, shaping, and removing materials. Its primary benefit is the long-lasting performance due to its special air-hardened chrome vanadium steel construction. A caveat to consider is its specific size (15 x 150mm), making it ideal for particular jobs but potentially requiring other sizes for varied tasks. Key features include its robust steel build, accurately ground cutting edges, and tempered head for impact resistance.

FAQs

What material is this chisel made from?

The chisel is manufactured from special air-hardened chrome vanadium steel for long life and durability.

What are the dimensions of this chisel?

This chisel has a cutting edge of 15 mm and an overall length of 150 mm.

Is this chisel suitable for woodworking?

This chisel is designed for masonry and metalworking. It is generally not recommended for woodworking, as specialized wood chisels offer better performance and results for that material.

How should I maintain the chisel's cutting edge?

The cutting edge should be kept clean and sharp. It can be re-sharpened using a grinding wheel or sharpening stone suitable for hardened steel when it becomes dull.

What safety precautions should I take when using this chisel?

Always wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from flying debris and gloves for hand protection. Ensure a firm grip and a clear strike area.

Does this chisel meet any specific standards?

Yes, this chisel is manufactured to DIN 7254B and GS specifications, which are recognized quality and safety standards.

Troubleshooting

Chisel not cutting effectively

Sharpen the cutting edge using an appropriate grinding wheel or stone. Ensure the chisel is being struck with sufficient force and at the correct angle for the material.

Head deforming or chipping

Ensure you are striking only the tempered head of the chisel and not the shaft. Check for cracks or excessive wear; if present, the chisel should be replaced.

Chisel slipping during use

Ensure the striking face of the hammer is square to the chisel head. Use a hammer with a suitable weight for the task. The octagonal shaft also helps prevent rolling when not in use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Constructed from high-quality, air-hardened chrome vanadium steel for exceptional durability.
  • Precisely ground cutting edges ensure clean and accurate cuts in masonry and metal.
  • Tempered head offers increased impact resistance and longevity under heavy use.
  • Meets DIN and GS safety and quality standards.

Cons

  • Fixed size (15 x 150mm) may not be suitable for all tasks; larger or smaller chisels might be needed.
  • Requires appropriate striking tools (like a hammer) and safety equipment for effective and safe use.
  • Primarily designed for specific material types (masonry/metal), less effective on softer materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This chisel requires no specific setup beyond ensuring it is clean and free from any manufacturing residues. Always wear appropriate safety glasses and gloves when using.

Compatibility: Compatible with standard engineer's hammers or mallets for striking. Suitable for use on masonry, concrete, stone, and metal.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, clean the cutting edge and shaft with a wire brush to remove debris. Wipe dry to prevent rust.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry place, ideally in a tool roll or case to protect the cutting edge.
  3. Sharpening: If the cutting edge becomes dull, it can be re-sharpened using a grinding wheel or sharpening stone suitable for hardened steel. Ensure proper cooling during grinding to avoid overheating and damaging the temper.
