A Chisel is a cutting tool that has a sharpened edge at the end of a metal blade. It is used by driving with a mallet or hammer in dressing, shaping, or working a solid material such as wood, stone, or metal.
Screwdrivers make great chisels. They are tough and can take the abuse of being used as a pry bar, a knife or getting beat on by a hammer. The only place where a screwdriver is not as good as a chisel is when you need to carve or shave wood with it.
When keeping the chisels on the workbench, always place them with the bevel side up. Place chisels safely within the plastic protective caps to cover cutting edges when not in use. Replace any chisel that is bent or shows dents, cracks, chips, or excessive wear.
