Ampco C-38 Cold Chisel 10 in
The Ampco C-38 is a non-sparking, non-magnetic cold chisel made from aluminium bronze. It is built for mechanics and maintenance crews who work in volatile environments or near sensitive magnetic equipment where standard steel tools create unacceptable risk. The plain grip and corrosion-resistant alloy suit harsh industrial settings.
Replaces steel chisels in hazardous zones
Swapping a steel chisel for this aluminium bronze tool removes the spark and magnetic signatures that can ignite flammable atmospheres or disrupt precision instruments. The upgrade is justified whenever a facility safety plan or equipment specification demands non-sparking, non-magnetic hand tools for the task at hand.
One-inch diamond tip for general cutting
The 1 in diamond-shaped blade handles routine chipping, cutting and splitting of softer metals and materials in the target environments. The 10 in overall length provides standard leverage for hand striking. Hardened alloys or extended prying tasks will exceed the material's strength and wear resistance.

Questions about this item
What are the overall length and tip width of the C-38 cold chisel?
The chisel measures 10 inches overall and has a 1-inch diamond-shaped tip.
How is the C-38 chisel used and what common mistake should be avoided?
Strike the flat end with a hammer; the tool has no striking cap, so never hit the tip or use a mushroomed head.
Will the aluminum-bronze material require any special maintenance or replacement?
The non-sparking, corrosion-resistant alloy needs no coating; inspect for mushrooming and replace if the tip deforms.
