What types of chisels does ToolSource offer?

ToolSource offers a wide variety of chisels to suit different applications. We carry cold chisels, pneumatic chisels (also known as air chisels), floor chisels, plastic chisels, and more. You can find both individual chisels and chisel sets from top brands like Mayhew Tools and Milwaukee Electric Tools.

What are cold chisels used for, and what should I look for when buying one?

Cold chisels are designed for cutting or shaping unheated metals. When choosing a cold chisel, consider the material it's made from (high-carbon steel is common), the width of the cutting edge, and the type of head (e.g., flat, cape, diamond point). Mayhew Tools and J.H. Williams are known for their durable cold chisels.

What are pneumatic chisels (air chisels) and what are their common uses?

Pneumatic chisels, or air chisels, are powered by compressed air and are used for tasks requiring more force and speed than manual chisels. They are commonly used for cutting, chipping, and scraping metal, concrete, or other materials. Chicago Pneumatic is a popular brand for pneumatic chisels.

Do you offer chisel sets, and what are the benefits of buying a set?

Yes, ToolSource offers a variety of chisel sets. Buying a set provides you with a range of chisel types and sizes, ensuring you have the right tool for different jobs. This can be more cost-effective than buying individual chisels, and keeps your tools organized.

What are floor chisels used for, and what features are important?

Floor chisels are specifically designed for removing tiles, mortar, or other flooring materials. Look for a floor chisel with a wide blade and a comfortable grip for efficient and controlled removal. Some floor chisels are designed for use with SDS rotary hammers for increased power.

What are chisels made of, and how does the material affect their performance?

Chisels are typically made from hardened steel, often high-carbon steel or alloy steel, to provide strength and durability. The type of steel affects the chisel's ability to hold an edge, resist wear, and withstand impact. Higher quality steel will generally result in a longer-lasting and more effective chisel.

What are the different types of chisel points available, and what are they used for?

Different chisel points are designed for specific tasks. Flat chisels are general-purpose, cape chisels are for narrow grooves, diamond point chisels are for corners and tight spaces, and round nose chisels are for creating curves. Consider the specific application when choosing a chisel point.

Are there chisels specifically designed for working with metal?

Yes, cold chisels are specifically designed for working with metal. These chisels are hardened and tempered to withstand the impact of striking metal. When selecting a chisel for metalwork, ensure it is made from high-quality steel and has the appropriate point for the task at hand.
