Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a bolster and a cold chisel?

A bolster chisel features a wide, flat blade (typically 75-100mm) designed for cutting masonry, bricks and paving slabs. Cold chisels have narrower blades for cutting and shaping metal, removing rivets, and breaking up concrete. Stanley manufactures both types to professional standards.

How do I maintain my Stanley chisels?

Keep cutting edges sharp using a bench grinder at the correct angle (typically 60 degrees for cold chisels). If the striking end begins to mushroom, grind it back to prevent dangerous metal fragments. Store chisels in a dry place and apply a light oil coating to prevent rust.

Are Stanley bolsters and cold chisels covered by warranty?

Yes, Stanley backs their hand tools with comprehensive warranties against manufacturing defects. This demonstrates their confidence in the quality and durability of their bolsters and cold chisels for professional trade use.
