When working with larger timber surfaces or cutting wider recesses, a 38mm Soft Grip Chisel provides the cutting width and control needed for efficient woodworking. Ideal for carpentry, joinery and general renovation projects, this wide-bladed chisel is particularly useful for removing excess timber, flattening surfaces and creating clean, straight edges.
The 38mm blade width allows more material to be removed with each pass compared with narrower woodworking chisels, making it well suited to larger joints, broad recesses and general timber shaping. It is especially useful for trimming wooden components, cleaning up joints and refining surfaces where an even finish is required.
Featuring a soft grip handle, the chisel is designed to provide a comfortable, secure hold during use. This helps maintain control when applying pressure and carrying out repeated cutting movements, whether working on a building site, in a workshop or during a home improvement project.
A practical addition to any woodworking toolkit, this chisel can be used for hand paring, trimming and suitable mallet-assisted cutting, depending on the manufacturer's specification. Its wide cutting edge makes it particularly effective for tasks where a smaller chisel would require multiple passes to achieve the same result.

For larger woodworking tasks that demand a wider cutting edge, the 38mm Soft Grip Chisel offers a practical solution for shaping timber, refining joints and achieving neat, accurate finishes.
Always ensure the blade is sharp and properly maintained, secure the workpiece before use and cut away from your hands and body. Use a suitable mallet only if the chisel is designed for struck applications, and protect the cutting edge during storage and transport.
