What is a Chisel Flat?

A Chisel Flat is a hand tool with a flat-edged blade used for cutting, shaping, and removing material from surfaces such as concrete, stone, or metal.

What materials are Chisel Flat tools made from?

They are typically made from high-carbon or alloy steel, hardened and tempered for strength, durability, and impact resistance.

What are the main uses of a Chisel Flat?

It is used for removing tiles, smoothing concrete, chipping metal, and general demolition or finishing work in construction and workshops.

Can a Chisel Flat be used with a hammer or power tool?

Yes. It can be used manually with a hammer or integrated with pneumatic or electric hammers for heavy-duty applications.

How is a Chisel Flat different from a Pointed Chisel?

A Flat Chisel has a broad, flat cutting edge for shaving or removing layers, while a Pointed Chisel focuses force for breaking or splitting material.

How do I maintain a Chisel Flat?

Keep the blade sharp, store it dry, and avoid striking with hardened hammers to prevent chipping or edge deformation.

Can the edge of a Chisel Flat be re-sharpened?

Yes. The cutting edge can be re-ground periodically using a bench grinder or sharpening tool to maintain performance.
