The design of the hexagonal chisel allows for easier installation or removal of the chisel using a wrench or hexagonal driver tool. The hexagonal shank provides a larger torque transmission area, making it easier to tighten or loosen the chisel.
HEX SHANK CHISEL is mainly suitable for soft to medium hard materials, such as wood, cork, plastic, light metal (such as thin iron plate) and some non-metallic materials.
In woodworking, this type of chisel is commonly used on a variety of woods, including softwoods, hardwoods, and synthetic materials. Thanks to its sharp edge and sturdy design, it can carve, cut, and trim these materials with ease.
In addition to wood, the HEX SHANK CHISEL can also be used to work with plastic materials, especially those cutting or engraving tasks that require a certain degree of precision and strength.
For metal work, this type of chisel is typically used on lightweight metals such as thin iron sheets. However, for harder or thicker metals, more specialized metal cutting tools may be required.
It should be noted that HEX SHANK CHISEL is not suitable for processing very hard or brittle materials, such as hard stone, concrete or glass. In these cases, it may be necessary to use a more suitable tool, such as a diamond cutting tool or a specialized stone cutting tool.
In a word, the HEX SHANK CHISEL is a versatile tool that is suitable for working with a variety of soft to medium-hard materials, but may not be as useful when working with very hard or brittle materials.
