FAQs

What are the sizes of the chisels included in this set?

The set includes four chisels in the following sizes: 6mm, 13mm, 19mm, and 25mm.

Can I use a metal hammer with these chisels?

While the steel caps are designed for striking, it is recommended to use a wooden mallet for better control and to minimize potential damage to the handle over time. A metal hammer may be too forceful.

How often should I sharpen the chisels?

The frequency of sharpening depends on usage. For optimal performance, sharpen them whenever you notice a decrease in cutting ability, typically after significant use.

Are the blades pre-sharpened?

The blades are typically sharpened from the factory, but for best results, it is recommended to hone them before first use.

What material are the blades made of?

The blades are made of hardened steel.

Do these chisels have a full tang?

The product description indicates steel caps for striking, implying the tang extends through the handle, but a full tang is not explicitly stated.

How should I store the chisels to prevent damage?

Always use the included blade guards and store the chisels in a dry place, preferably in a tool roll or a dedicated chisel rack to protect the edges and prevent them from knocking against other tools.

Troubleshooting

Blade is dull or not cutting cleanly

Sharpen the blade using a whetstone or honing guide. Ensure you are maintaining the correct bevel angle.

Handle feels uncomfortable during use

Ensure you have a firm but relaxed grip. For extended use, consider wearing work gloves.

Rust spots appearing on the blade

Wipe the blade dry immediately after use and store with blade guards in a dry environment. Light rust can be removed with fine steel wool or a rust eraser.

Chisel is not seating properly in a joint

Ensure the chisel's bevel edge is correctly aligned with the direction of cut and that you are using the appropriate chisel size for the task.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades clean with a dry cloth to remove wood dust and sap. For stubborn residue, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
