Your videos are amazing and I learned a lot of stuff I didn’t know I’m a freshman and this was a video my teacher assigned for my core and construction class this really helped me get a clear picture or at least a clearer picture than what I knew beforehand
Thanks for great insights. I am about to purchase a whole bunch for my DIY garage, but was wondering if you could share any other content which goes into more detail about using Alignment punches, just so I fully understand the intentions behind the tool.
Good vid bro. There is some real junk out there these days. The geniuses where I work picked up super low end punches the tips mushroomed over immediately. Those “odd” chisels are caulking irons for caulking lead joints on Hubbard waste pipe. They make inside and outside irons to caulk the poured lead to seal the joint.
Thank you so much for identifying those caulking irons for me. I've noticed that about cheap punches they don't work at all. it's odd that they manufacture them when they just bend and mushroom the first time you use them
11:54 looks similar to a chisel I had. Mine reminded me of an oscillating multi-tool blade (search on UA-cam “undercut door jamb” & look at thumbnails for how I imagined it was used). Mine was straight and had a much thinner blade though. I don’t really know if either one is meant to be used for door jambs or not…
Lovely set of chisels, can you please do one on punches for various non-threaded fastner removal. Also I wanted to let you know that google algo doesn’t automatically recommend your educational videos rather I was searching for pin punch sets and I stumbled upon your great videos.
Haha I was just looking at some nice USA center punches but I was thinking I had enough...hahaha after seeing this I definitely don't have enough lol. Great review!
The thing about Center punches as they end up getting beat up pretty quickly and it's always nice to have a few spares as well as a couple units for abuse
Would that long chisel before the nail sets ( 15:32 ) be considered a Slick? I've not seen one that small. I've only seen big ones for timber framing. Great video!
Hot chisels are used by blacksmiths for striking and cutting the metal after it is pulled from the fire. Cold chisels are for striking and cutting metal that is cold. It has nothing to do with the actual forging process that the chisels undergo.
WF is western forge that made a lot of tools for craftsman. Another great video ! Thanks D J
I am really enjoying your channel. You have covered a huge variety of tools and their applications.
Thank you so much

Use brass punch to avoid sparks. Like taking the sending unit out of a gasoline tank.
I think those left and right chisels are for caulking a lead pipe joint with oakum.
Those "offset chisels" are caulking irons.
Nice collection Catus, thanks for sharing.
Your welcome

Catus Maximus yea just when ya think you have enough ya need a size you don't have. But ya can't beat the Walmart sets for 6 bucks haha
always carrying a cold chisel set w/ me at all times now.
wheel bearing for my trailer failed............. yup. that's all i needed to experience.
No roll pin punches or starter pin punches? Looks like you grouped drive pin punches with the alignment punches.
Is the dasco pro cold chisel good for automotive work?
Great guide
Glad you think so!
I use them that big yeller handled ones fer adjusting.... MG and Triumph carburetors !

I think so and after I made this video somebody told me that's what those long flat blade chisels were for is for mortise and tenon's
The chisel at the 13:19 point is a Cape Chisel. not a "splitting" chisel.
12:37 looks like a masonry joint tool for smoothing the lines between bricks and blocks
Need a chisel holder. Such as from Wilde, $10.

I was going to say the same thing.
It's just because you use them on cold metal, rather than hot.
Awesome awesome vid man! Anyway to put the make and part numbers of these chisels, especially the more exotic and less known in the comments? Thanks!
some pieces have the striking ends hardened differently than the tips. I know some gedore series and rennsteig advertisie that.
Roller pin punches
great content!
I like it.
How is Stanley cold chisel and punch
No wonder you don't want anyone sending you tools.
