The Stanley 16-308 is a 1/2-inch chisel designed for woodworking, carving, and general hand tool work. Its hardened and tempered chrome carbon steel blade delivers lasting sharpness and edge retention through heavy use, while a steel striking cap allows you to strike the chisel with a steel-headed hammer without damaging the handle. The lacquered blade resists corrosion, keeping your tool in working condition whether stored or in active use.
The bi-material grip handle combines polypropylene with ergonomic shaping to reduce hand fatigue during extended work. The break-resistant handle absorbs shock from striking, protecting your hands and wrists. The chisel comes with a protective blade guard that doubles as a wall-mounted storage solution, keeping the sharp edge safe and your workspace organized.
