Flat chisel with forged guard MODECO MN-63-454 450 x 19 mm

Flat chisel MODECO MN-63-454, 450 x 19 mm, is a steel striking tool designed for cutting, shaping and removing material from masonry, stone and metal joints. The chisel features a hardened blade edge and a forged protective collar that reduces head damage during repeated hammer strikes. The overall length of 450 mm provides leverage and reach for demolition, chiselling and detail work while the 19 mm blade width offers a balance between material removal and precision.

Advantages

The forged protective collar increases the tool's service life by reinforcing the area exposed to hammer impacts. Heat-treated steel blade retains a sharp edge under heavy use and tolerates repeated striking without rapid deformation. The 450 mm length improves control and power transfer from the hammer to the working edge, and the 19 mm width enables accurate chiselling in narrow joints as well as efficient chip removal on broader surfaces.

Suitable for

• Removing mortar and joint material in masonry and brickwork
• Shaping and carving stone or concrete during repair work
• Cutting and separating metal or rivet heads in demolition tasks
• Detail chiselling where a straight, flat cutting edge is required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 450 mm
• Blade width: 19 mm
• Material: hardened steel blade with forged collar
• Edge type: flat, sharpened cutting edge
• Designed for hammer striking

How to use

Hold the chisel by the shaft with a firm grip, positioning the flat edge at the intended cutting or removal point. Use a suitable hammer to deliver controlled strikes to the forged collar; avoid glancing blows. For masonry or concrete, start with shallow strikes to create a groove and then increase force as needed. When working on metal, place the chisel perpendicular to the surface and apply steady hammering to cut or split material. After use, inspect the edge for damage and dress or re-sharpen as required.

Usage recommendations

Always wear eye and hand protection when using the chisel. Use a hammer of appropriate weight for the task and ensure the chisel is held securely. Do not use the chisel if the shank is bent or the collar is cracked. Store the tool in a dry place and maintain the cutting edge by occasional sharpening to preserve performance.
