Flat cold chisel with guard MODECO MN-63-481, 254 mm

Flat cold chisel MODECO MN-63-481, 254 mm is a hand tool designed for cutting, chipping and removing metal and other hard materials by striking with a hammer. The chisel features a flat blade profile that creates a straight cutting edge for splitting, trimming and scraping tasks. A protective guard is incorporated to reduce hammer slip and protect the striking end, improving safety during repeated use in workshops, construction sites and maintenance activities.

Advantages

The flat blade profile delivers consistent, straight cuts and reliable material removal. The protective guard limits hand exposure to the striking area and helps prevent hammer glancing. With a length of 254 mm the tool offers a balance between reach and control, suitable for confined spaces while maintaining effective striking force transfer. The hardened working edge retains shape under impact to provide extended service life when used for manual chipping and cutting.

Suitable for

• Cutting and chipping steel, iron and other metals
• Removing rivets, weld slag and scale
• Sculpting and shaping metal edges
• On-site maintenance and repair in construction and metalworking

Key specifications

• Tool type: flat cold chisel with protective guard
• Overall length: 254 mm
• Blade profile: flat, straight cutting edge
• Intended use: manual striking with a hammer for cutting, chipping and scraping
• Material treatment: hardened working edge for impact resistance

How to use

Position the flat cutting edge against the workpiece at the required angle and strike the chisel head squarely with a hammer. Use controlled blows to avoid excessive force that could damage the blade or workpiece. The protective guard should be positioned toward the hand to reduce risk of hammer slip; maintain a firm grip on the chisel shank. For best results when removing weld slag or scale, work incrementally across the area rather than attempting deep cuts in a single pass. Inspect the cutting edge regularly and dress or replace the chisel when the edge becomes excessively mushroomed or worn.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Secure the workpiece before chiselling and use a hammer suitable for the chisel size. Store the tool in a dry place and maintain the striking end to avoid hazardous mushrooming.
