Equally suited to shearing off seized nuts, bolts, and rivets, as it is cutting, sizing, and scraping masonry, this Estwing flat utility chisel is built to last. Drop forged in a single piece from EN9 high carbon steel to provide lasting strength and durability, this handy tool has a hardened edge to allow it to cut through tough materials faster, leaving cleaner cuts. The shaft is painted in Estwing blue to provide increased protection for the tool from rust and corrosion. The flat profile of this 1-1/4-inch tipped chisel means it takes up minimal storage space and allows it to easily slip into a tool pouch where it is always within reach. Ideal for use in machining, metal forming and welding, masonry finishing, demolitions, and a variety of automotive and maintenance repairs.
