The Hultafors HDC is a heavy-duty job site chisel that comes with its own holster, in 25, 32 and 40 mm widths.
It's forged in one piece with an I-profile that runs the full length, so the force of a hammer blow goes straight down to the edge. The carbon steel blade is ground to a 25 degree bevel, a balance of sharpness and durability, and the flat back lies flat on the work. The Santoprene grip is shaped for both power and control, and the striker cap can be replaced. The polypropylene holster fastens to a belt or a button. The 25 mm is 265 mm (about 10-1/2 in) long. It's a chisel you can beat on at the job site, so your good chisels can stay in the shop.
Hultafors started in 1883, when a young engineer, Karl-Hilmer Johansson Kollén, set up a factory on Folkungagatan in Stockholm to make the folding rule he had invented. The factory moved to Gothenburg and then, in 1907, to the village of Hultafors, between Gothenburg and Borås, where Hultafors still makes folding rules.
