a hand tool with a sharp, hardened steel blade used for cutting, shaping, or chipping away hard materials such as metal, stone, or concrete
A cold chisel is a tool used for cutting or shaping metal, stone, or other hard materials. It has a sharp, flat edge and is typically made of steel to withstand the pressure required to break or shape tough materials. The tool is struck with a hammer to apply force, and its edge works to chip away at the material. Cold chisels are often used in construction, metalworking, and other industries for tasks like removing bolts, shaping metal, or breaking concrete.
