FAQs

Are these chisels suitable for metalwork?

No, these are strictly designed for woodworking. Using them on metal or stone will immediately ruin the edge.

Can I use a steel hammer with these?

While the metal cap is designed for impact, a wooden or rubber mallet is recommended to extend the life of the tool and the handle.

What are the specific sizes included?

The set includes a 13mm, 19mm, and 25mm chisel.

How do I sharpen these blades?

Use a sharpening stone or guide at a consistent angle (typically 25 to 30 degrees) to hone the bevel.

Does the set come with a case?

Yes, it includes a durable storage wallet designed for organization and protection.

Troubleshooting

Blade feels dull after minimal use

Ensure you are using the correct sharpening angle and that you are not hitting the blade against non-wood obstructions like nails.

Handle feeling loose or damaged

Check if the striking cap is securely fastened; if the handle is physically cracked from extreme misuse, the tool should be retired for safety.

Rust spots appearing on the steel

Remove rust with a fine-grit abrasive pad and apply a thin layer of mineral oil or tool oil to protect the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Minotaur chisels, keep the following practices in mind:

  1. Sharpening: Before first use, verify the edge geometry. Regularly hone the blades using a whetstone or sharpening system to maintain a razor-sharp profile.
  2. Storage: Always return the chisels to the provided storage wallet after use to prevent the cutting edges from coming into contact with other tools, which can cause nicks.
  3. Maintenance: Periodically wipe the blades with a light machine oil to prevent rust, especially if you live in a high-humidity climate.
  4. Handling: When striking, ensure your mallet face is flat and consistent with the metal cap to maintain even force distribution.
