Gray punches and chisels are designed to meet or exceed ANSI specifications making them ideal for even the toughest projects. The entire range is made from high quality steel that is machined then heat treated to the optimum hardness for maximum durability. Achieving the optimum hardness is critical to obtaining a working end that is hard and long lasting yet providing a striking end that is softer avoiding chipping and splitting. Each tool comes in a distinctive royal blue painted shank with high polished lacquered working end providing a long lasting premium finish.
