Metalworking chisel Proline 31353 — single-piece hand chisel for metalworking

Proline 31353 is a single-piece metalworking chisel intended for manual cutting, shaping and removing metal in general shop and maintenance tasks. The chisel is made from quenched, high-quality tool steel with a PVC cover, providing a balance of hardness and toughness required for hand metalworking operations. It is supplied as a single unit suitable for striking with a hammer or levering for fabrication and repair work.

Advantages

The solid one-piece design reduces the risk of joint failure and improves force transfer during striking. Quenched tool steel ensures edge retention and resistance to deformation under repeated impact. The PVC cover offers a non-slip grip and protects the handle from wear and exposure to oils and light contaminants. The chisel’s geometry and material combination provide consistent performance for cutting, grooving and cleaning metal surfaces.

Suitable for

• Chiselling and cutting sheet metal and thin sections
• Removing weld spatter and scale
• Shaping and trimming metal parts in fabrication
• General maintenance and repair tasks in workshops

Key specifications

• Construction: single-piece forged design
• Material: quenched high-quality tool steel
• Handle: PVC cover for improved grip
• Intended actuation: manual striking or levering
• Application: hand metalworking for cutting, shaping and material removal

How to use

Position the chisel edge against the workpiece at the required angle and strike the blunt end with a suitable hammer to make controlled cuts or to remove material. For levering or prying operations, apply steady force while maintaining a secure grip on the PVC-covered handle. Inspect the cutting edge regularly and re-sharpen as needed to maintain effective performance. Always secure the workpiece and use appropriate supports to avoid unwanted movement during use.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Select a hammer compatible with the chisel size and avoid excessive striking force that can cause chisel damage or workpiece distortion. Store the chisel dry and clean, and apply light corrosion protection to the steel if it will be stored for extended periods.
