Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Xtrade Chisel & Punch Set in peak condition, store them in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion. While chrome vanadium is robust, it can rust if exposed to moisture over long periods. When using the tools, always ensure you are using a proper striking tool, such as a ball-peen hammer, and avoid using hardened steel hammers that might damage the tool head. Periodically inspect the striking ends for 'mushrooming'—if you notice deformation, carefully grind the edges back to the original profile to maintain safety and performance. The included hanger packaging is designed to be wall-mounted in a workshop, helping you maintain an organized workspace.
