Chisel 35 mm GRAPHITE model 57H566 with hexagonal handle

GRAPHITE chisel 35 mm model 57H566 with hexagonal handle is a hand tool designed for controlled striking and precise material removal in woodworking and renovation tasks. The 35 mm wide cutting edge provides a balance between surface coverage and fine control, while the hexagonal handle improves grip and helps prevent rolling during work. Intended for carving, trimming, joint fitting and general chiselling, this chisel is suitable for both repair tasks and detailed finishing operations.

Advantages

The hardened and ground blade ensures consistent cutting performance and easier sharpening. A 35 mm cutting width offers versatility for smoothing, paring and fitting joints without unnecessary material removal. The hexagonal handle geometry provides a secure hold and reduces rotation when struck with a mallet, improving safety and accuracy. The tool's compact size supports manoeuvrability in confined areas and fine-detail work.

Suitable for

• Wood carving and shaping
• Trimming and paring joints
• Removing old glue, paint and small amounts of material during renovation
• Detail finishing on furniture and cabinetry
• DIY and professional joinery tasks

Key specifications

• Cutting edge width: 35 mm
• Blade material: hardened and ground steel (tool steel)
• Blade type: straight bevel edge suitable for paring and chopping
• Handle: hexagonal cross-section for improved grip and anti-roll
• Intended use: manual chiselling and mallet-assisted striking

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly before chiselling. Use the chisel with the bevel facing the direction of the cut for paring and smoothing, or with the flat side facing the cut when removing larger amounts of material. For controlled strikes use a wooden or rubber mallet; avoid excessive force that can damage the edge or handle. Keep the blade aligned with the cut and work in small increments for precise results. After use, wipe the blade clean and store the chisel in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Regularly hone the cutting edge with appropriate stones or strops to maintain sharpness and control. Wear eye protection when chiselling, and inspect the handle and blade before use for any signs of damage. For best results on hardwoods, make shallow passes and maintain a consistent bevel angle during sharpening.
