Floor Chisel for Tight Spaces
The Mayhew 12310 floor chisel is a 10 in steel tool built for prying and demolition in confined areas. Its thin, durable blade reaches spots that wider bars cannot. The shot-blasted finish resists corrosion on job sites. It suits tradespeople who need a compact lever for wood and similar materials.
Manual Striking and Leverage Limits
This chisel has no striking cap and no separate handle, so the steel shaft takes every hammer blow directly. The blade tip is hardened to 47 to 50 HRC, giving a hard edge that can chip if driven beyond its yield point. Users must judge impact force by feel, as the tool offers no cushioned grip or overstrike protection.
2-1/2 in Blade Width and Capacity
The 2-1/2 in straight blade gives a broad contact patch for lifting floorboards or splitting timber. It handles typical prying tasks in softwood and hardwood without bending. The plain steel grip transmits full vibration to the hand, limiting comfort during extended sessions. It is not suited for heavy structural demolition or concrete work.

Questions about this item
Which blade width suits the job — the 2-1/2 in tip?
The 2-1/2 in straight blade is the only width offered on this floor chisel; choose it when you need a single wide edge for prying or splitting.
What does the 47 to 50 HRC hardness mean when I strike it?
That hardness range lets the blue steel tip hold a keen edge under repeated hammer blows while resisting chipping or mushrooming.
Does the steel handle and shot-blasted finish affect corrosion resistance?
Yes — the all-steel construction and shot-blasted surface are listed as corrosion-resistant, so the tool withstands damp workshop conditions.
