This chisel is specifically designed for masonry materials such as concrete, brick, and stone. It is not intended for woodworking.
The cutting edge can be re-sharpened using a grinding wheel or a sharpening stone. It is important to cool the steel frequently during sharpening to maintain its temper.
The hand guard is designed to be a permanent safety feature and is securely fitted. It is not intended for removal.
The octagonal shank prevents the chisel from rolling off surfaces when laid down and provides a more stable and effective striking surface when used with a hammer.
Always store the chisel with the protective rubber blade guard securely fitted. Keep it in a dry environment to prevent rust and away from areas where it could be damaged.
This chisel is designed for manual striking with a hammer or mallet. Using it with a power hammer is not recommended and may damage the tool or pose a safety risk.
Please refer to the Draper Tools warranty policy for specific details on coverage and duration, as this information is not provided in the product specifications.
The cutting edge may be dull. Sharpen the edge using a grinding wheel or sharpening stone. Ensure you do not overheat the steel. Also, check that you are striking the chisel squarely with the hammer.
Ensure you are using the correct angle of attack for the material. For concrete or stone, a slight angled approach might be needed. Clear debris from the cut regularly.
Ensure the hand guard is correctly seated on the shank. If it appears damaged or permanently loose, it may require replacement for safety. Inspect for cracks or deformation.
Clean the chisel thoroughly with a wire brush or steel wool. Apply a light coating of oil to the metal surfaces to prevent further rusting. Store in a dry place with the blade guard on.
Setup: This chisel requires no setup beyond ensuring it is securely held before striking with a hammer or mallet. Always ensure the hammer face is clean and strikes the end of the chisel shank squarely.
Compatibility: The Draper 99173 is designed for use with standard striking tools such as ball-peen hammers or engineers' mallets. It is compatible with most masonry materials including concrete, brick, and stone.
