BOLSTERS & CHISELS
Bolsters & Chisels for Electricians
Shop bolsters and chisels at Order Electrical, with professional striking and material-removal tools from C.K and other leading brands for electricians, builders, installers and maintenance professionals.
Bolster chisels are designed for controlled cutting, breaking and removal of suitable building materials. For electricians, they can be particularly useful during installation work where brickwork, blockwork, plaster or masonry needs to be prepared for cables, conduit, boxes and other electrical equipment.
Different types of bolster and chisel are available for different tasks. Brick bolsters have a wide cutting edge suited to working with bricks and masonry, while narrower chisels can provide greater precision when creating or clearing smaller openings.
Electricians may use suitable bolsters and chisels when forming cable routes, preparing recesses for back boxes, clearing wall chases or carrying out general building preparation associated with an electrical installation.
The width and shape of the cutting edge affect the type of work the tool is best suited to, while the overall length can influence both reach and control when the tool is struck with an appropriate hammer.
Choosing the Right Bolster
When choosing a bolster or chisel, consider the material being worked on, width of cut required, chisel profile and overall tool length. A wider bolster can be useful for removing larger areas of masonry, while a narrower chisel provides greater control for more detailed work.
For electrical installation, consider the dimensions of the cable, conduit or back box being installed so that unnecessary material is not removed. Where work involves chasing walls, always check for concealed cables, pipes and other services before cutting.
Appropriate eye protection and other required PPE should be used when striking or breaking masonry and similar materials.
