A chisel is used to cut material, partnered with a hammer it becomes a formidable combination and a worthy tool. A chisel usually consists of a sharpened metal rod embedded within a wood or rubber handle with a wide base.
The sharp metal end is placed where the cutting is desired, and a hammer striking the blunt handle end drives the chisel into the material (often wood) where cutting is desired.
The tool itself is one of the earliest core woodworking / carpentry tools. But modern chisels have shown a variety of uses.
