Cold chisel with a hand guard, which is a hand tool designed for cutting, shaping, and removing hard materials such as metal, stone, or concrete.
Primary Function: Used for heavy-duty masonry or metalworking tasks, allowing the user to strike the tool with a hammer or mallet to drive the edge into the material.
Safety Feature: Equipped with a high-visibility, bi-material ergonomic hand guard (the yellow circular part) that protects the user's hand from accidental strikes and improves grip comfort.
Material: Typically forged from tempered carbon or chrome-vanadium steel to ensure durability, hardness, and resistance to mushrooming or chipping during impact.
Design: Features a wedge-shaped cutting edge and is designed for use without preheating the target material, hence the name "cold chisel".
