A scutch chisel is a type of scutching tool with a groove on one end where a scutch comb can be inserted. | |||

What are the different parts of a scutch chisel? |
||||
 |
Chisel headThe chisel head is the part that is hit with a hammer or mallet or attached to an SDS plus drill depending on the type of chisel that is being used. |
|||
 |
ShankThe shank is the part of a scutch chisel that connects the chisel head to the scutch comb holder. It is also the part that is held during use. |
|||
 |
A shank can have a safety grip attached to it which will prevent the hammer/mallet from hitting the user’s fingers. These are available in sizes between 16 – 22mm (5/8in-7/8in) – these sizes are the same diameter as the scutch chisel’s shank. | |||
 |
This is an example of a safety grip being used on a scutch chisel. | |||
 |
Scutch comb holderThe groove on the end of the scutch chisel (the scutch comb holder) is where you place the scutch comb or drove which will then become the tool’s cutting edge. |
