Overview
The TAJIMA DK-TN80-T is a chisel with a stainless steel blade and a plastic handle, weighing 0.13 kilograms, built for precise cutting and trimming tasks.
Stainless steel resists rust better than plain carbon steel, which matters for a blade that sees moisture or storage in a toolbox over time. A plastic handle keeps the overall weight down at 0.13 kilograms, trading some of the shock absorption a wood or rubber grip offers for a lighter, more affordable build. TAJIMA is a Japanese tool brand known for cutting and marking tools used in construction and flooring trades.
