Nice help to us

[@whiskersthecat8124]

Do you sharpen the cutting edge at all or is it good out of the package or inherited tool box?

[@mrdeadend10]

You should check you cutting edge regularly, then when it gets beat up, use a bench grinder to dress it. Grind the two faces of the cutting edge so that they form a 60 degree angle.

This classic video gives so much good info, including how to grind a cold chisel: th-cam.com/video/fGkOOtd3GmY/w-d-xo.html

This reminds me of Pakistani truck removing a huge rivets on truck chassis using sledge hammer and chissel

Isn’t that destroying the threads

[@mrdeadend10]

It certainly could, but I think I missed the threads on the bolt this time.
