12mm bevel edge blade - forged high-carbon steel Steel strike cap - compatible with steel hammers DYNAGRIP™ soft-grip acetate handle - reduces hand fatigue Pre-sharpened blade - ready to use from the box Lacquered blade - improved corrosion resistance Manufactured in Sheffield, England Suitable for softwood and hardwood Part of the 11-width Stanley DYNAGRIP™ range Stanley DYNAGRIP Wood Chisel with Steel Strike Cap for Woodworking Forged for Demanding Work: The blade on this 12mm chisel is forged from high-carbon steel, giving it the strength and edge retention needed for both softwood and hardwood tasks. It arrives pre-sharpened and ready to use straight from the packaging, with no additional preparation required before your first cut. Steel Strike Cap for Hammer Use: Unlike chisels designed for mallet use only, the DYNAGRIP™ features a hardened steel striking cap that accepts blows from a standard steel hammer. This makes it suitable for heavier chopping, mortising, and material removal where a wooden mallet would not deliver enough force. DYNAGRIP™ Handle for Comfort and Control: The handle is made from soft-grip acetate (CAB - cellulose acetate butyrate), which cushions the hand during prolonged use and maintains a secure hold. The longer handle profile provides improved leverage and control across a range of woodworking applications. Lacquered Blade for Lasting Condition: The blade carries a protective lacquer finish that helps resist corrosion during storage and between uses. Manufactured in Sheffield, England, this chisel is built to a consistent standard across Stanley's DYNAGRIP™ range, which covers 11 blade widths from 6mm through to 38mm.
