Chisels persuade objects into place, smooth out surfaces, and cut, notch, chip, or shape materials. They provide better control than chiseling with power tools to work smaller areas and make finer cuts and carves. Chisels for metal are used on metal workpieces and surfaces in blacksmithing and metalworking tasks. Chisels for wood are used on wooden workpieces and surfaces in woodworking and carpentry applications. Chisels for brick, concrete, and stone score, cut, trim, and break apart materials in masonry, bricklaying, concrete repair, and construction. Chisels for wood flooring and siding strike or pry planks and panels to position or remove them.
