Chisels (144 items found)

When your project calls for shaping, carving or precise cutting, chisels are often the ideal tools to use. Whether you're working with wood, stone, brick, metal or another material, Ace Hardware can help you find the right chisel tool to get the job done with a large selection of options available online and in stores.

Masonry, Wood and Concrete Chiseling Tools

Considering your material is a great starting point when shopping for chisel hand tools, as manufacturers design them with different features to make them capable of shaping and cutting various things.

• Masonry chisel: A masonry chisel can cut through stone, cement and cinder blocks and comes in handy for removing excess mortar.
• Concrete chisel: With a chisel for concrete, you can create precise cuts by striking the handle with a mallet.
• Cold chisels: Cold chisel tools are suitable for cutting sheet metal the way you might with a hacksaw, as well as for slicing through rusted metal hardware when you don’t have access to bolt cutters.
• Wood chisels: For woodworkers, wood chisels are highly versatile tools that come in handy when creating joints and shaping wood.

Types of Wood Chisels

Wood chiseling tools come in different types, and each one is suitable for specific tasks. Some wood chisels that you may wish to consider buying include:

• Bench chisels: Often the most frequently used wood chisel, the bench chisel has a beveled tip for chopping and paring and works well for shaping mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joints.
• Mortise chisels: Handy for joint making, mortise chisels feature a long leading edge with a thick blade.
• Paring chisels: Equipped with longer handles, this type of wood chisel extends your reach and increases your control for fine detail work that might be otherwise difficult to execute.
• Construction chisels: Like bench chisels but mounted on rubber handles, these wood chisels are heavy-duty tools that can be used for demolition work as well as for crafting.

Tackle Projects with a Chisel Set

For some projects, you may need chisels in various sizes to complete different steps. After all, small chisels are useful for tasks that require a high level of control, while big ones remove more material at one time to speed up cutting and shaping large areas. If your project requires multiple chisels, you can buy the sizes you need separately but purchasing a chisel set can be easier and more cost-effective.

Chisel sets typically give you two or more chisels in different sizes to add more versatility to your tool collection. You can also find wood chisel sets that provide multiple types of wood chisels for one price.
