Chisels & Bolsters

Equip yourself for heavy-duty demolition and precision woodworking with our professional range of Stanley and Roughneck chisels and bolsters. Built to withstand high-impact use, these tools are the backbone of any masonry or carpentry kit, engineered from hardened steel to deliver clean cuts through brick, concrete, metal, and timber.

Whether you're "chasing out" walls for electrical cables or crafting fine furniture joints, our selection provides the durability and safety features demanded by the modern job site.

Masonry Chisels & Brick Bolsters

Designed for the rigours of demolition and construction, our masonry tools feature superior shock absorption and edge retention.

• Stanley FatMax® Brick Bolsters: Featuring an integrated hand guard and a high-carbon steel blade, these are essential for the clean splitting of bricks and blocks. The FatMax range is specifically treated to prevent "mushrooming" on the striking head.

• Roughneck Gorilla® Block Busters: For heavy-duty tasks, the Roughneck Gorilla series offers maximum force. Their bolsters are drop-forged and heat-treated for exceptional strength, often featuring a unique "twisted" or fluted design to prevent jamming in masonry.

• Cold Chisels: Available from both Stanley and Roughneck, these are engineered for cutting through cold metal, removing rivets, and breaking up concrete. Look for guarded models to protect your hands from misplaced hammer strikes.

• Plugging & Scutch Chisels: Perfect for raking out mortar joints or preparing surfaces, these specialist Roughneck tools are built for precision in restoration and repointing.

Stanley & Roughneck Wood Chisels

From the iconic 99E heritage to modern Thru-Tang technology, our wood chisels offer the perfect balance of sharpness and strength.

• Stanley FatMax® Wood Chisels: Known for their Thru-Tang design, where the steel blade runs entirely through the handle to a steel strike cap. This allows you to use a metal hammer for increased cutting force without damaging the tool.

• Roughneck Pro Series: These chisels feature high-quality Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) blades that come pre-honed and ready for immediate use. The ergonomic soft-grip handles ensure maximum control during intricate paring and joinery.

• Specialist Woodworking Sets: We stock multi-piece sets in protective carry cases, ideal for apprentices and master carpenters alike, featuring common sizes from 6mm to 32mm.

Why Invest in Quality Chisels?

A cheap chisel is a safety hazard and a precision killer. Choosing Stanley or Roughneck ensures:

• Impact Safety: Heat-treated striking heads reduce the risk of metal splinters (spalling) during heavy use.

• Edge Retention: High-quality steel alloys mean you spend less time at the sharpening stone and more time on the job.

• Ergonomic Design: Bi-material handles absorb vibration, reducing hand fatigue during repetitive striking tasks.
