MODECO flat cold chisel MN-63-487 features a wide 100 x 215 mm blade and an integrated protective guard. This hand tool is intended for cutting, shaping and removing metal or masonry by striking the rear end with a hammer. The broad blade provides a larger contact area for splitting, trimming and paring tasks, while the protective guard covers the striking zone to reduce direct hammer impact on the handle and to limit wear on the tool.
Advantages
The wide blade design increases material contact area, enabling efficient removal of larger sections of metal or masonry with fewer strikes. The protective guard improves user safety by shielding the striking area and reducing the risk of glancing blows or mushrooming of the chisel shaft. The chisel’s hardened cutting edge maintains shape under repeated hammering, and the overall geometry supports controlled, accurate work on both metal and masonry surfaces.
Suitable for
- Cutting and splitting metal sheets, bars and rivets.
- Removing mortar, tiles or plaster in renovation and demolition tasks.
- Shaping and trimming castings, weld seams and excess material.
- General workshop and construction maintenance where a wide chisel edge is required.

- Tool type: flat cold chisel with wide blade
- Protective feature: integrated striking guard

How to use
Position the flat chisel edge against the workpiece at the desired cutting or splitting line. Hold the chisel firmly by the body, keeping the hand clear of the protected striking zone, and strike the rear end with a suitable hammer using controlled blows. For metal work, start with lighter taps to score the material, then increase force as needed. For masonry, use steady, repeated strikes to remove material in layers. Inspect the cutting edge regularly and dress or sharpen it as necessary to preserve performance.
Usage recommendations
Use appropriate eye and hand protection when striking the chisel. Select a hammer of suitable weight for the workpiece to avoid excessive stress on the tool. Store the chisel in a dry place and check the protective guard and blade for damage before each use; do not use if the guard is cracked or the shaft shows severe deformation.
