Westward 2AJJ9 Handguard Floor Chisel 2-1/2 in blade 10-1/2 in overall

Westward Handguard Floor Chisel

The Westward 2AJJ9 is a handguard floor chisel built for wood carving tasks. Its blade measures 2-1/2 inches wide and the overall length is 10-1/2 inches. The tool features a chrome vanadium steel blade with a black oxide finish for durability. A cushioned plastic and rubber grip with an integrated handguard helps protect the user during striking.

Suited for woodworkers needing hand protection

This chisel suits woodworkers and carpenters who want a striking tool with a built-in handguard and cushioned grip for comfort and safety. Users who require a non-sparking tool for hazardous environments should look elsewhere, as this model is not rated for that use. Buyers needing a tether-ready design for working at height will also need a different tool. The absence of a striking cap means those preferring a capped end should consider other options.

Chrome vanadium steel with black oxide finish

The blade is made from chrome vanadium steel with a black oxide finish, a combination chosen for hardness and corrosion resistance in wood applications. This material specification is the primary factor in determining whether the chisel will hold an edge and withstand repeated mallet blows. California Proposition 65 warnings apply, noting the presence of chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
