DASCO PRO G334 Masons Chisel 2.25 Inch

Overview

The DASCO G334 is a forged chisel measuring 2 1/4 inches, built from high carbon steel with an alloy steel handle section. At 1.6 pounds it is a substantial hand tool meant to take repeated hammer strikes rather than light trim work.

Forged, one piece steel chisels like this are built for masonry and demolition tasks where a wood handled chisel would eventually crack under striking force. The high carbon steel edge holds up to sharpening while the alloy steel body absorbs hammer blows along its length, a construction style DASCO has built for masons and contractors for decades.

• High carbon steel cutting edge
• Alloy steel handle section
• 2 1/4 inch size
• Item weight 1.6 pounds

Who it's for

Suited to masons, contractors and DIYers cutting or chipping brick, block or concrete who need a chisel that can absorb sustained hammer strikes. Not the right pick for fine woodworking, where a lighter, wood handled chisel gives better control.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The high carbon steel cutting edge is the part that gets sharpened and does the cutting, while the alloy steel body carries hammer strikes down the tool's length without splitting the way a wood handle eventually can. At 1.6 pounds and 2 1/4 inches wide, it sits in the range built for repeated striking rather than delicate paring cuts.
