A hand chisel is a cutting tool used to shape, carve, and cut materials such as wood, stone, and metal. It typically consists of a metal blade with a sharp cutting edge and a handle that provides grip and leverage.
Hand chisels come in different sizes and shapes, each designed for a specific purpose. For example, a cold chisel is used for cutting through hard materials such as concrete or metal, while a wood chisel is used for carving and shaping wood.
Hand chisels can be used for various tasks such as removing excess material from a piece, cutting a groove or channel, or shaping a surface for a particular purpose. They are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, and masonry, and are an essential tool for many artisans, craftsmen, and DIY enthusiasts.
