Are these chisels for wood only or can I use them to chisel on harder surfaces i.e. cement or grout out, etc.? Are they cold chisels?

They are not well suited for wood but I suppose you could use them for that purpose. They will work on all hard materials but be sure to wear safety glasses and yes, they are cold chisels. I felt it was a good selection for the price.

They are not used for wood. They are best used for machinist work but will also serve well for items like grout removal.

not for wood, these are metalworking chisels, they could be used to concrete but not with a long life expenctancy

My husband says he thinks they are cold chisels. He also use them on steel a day the work just fine.

I personally have not used these for outdoor use; and dont plan to.The varnish and the wood are fit for indoor use only. If you use these outdoors, you woul have to bring them in immediately after use

I actually ended up returning these because I was going to use them on wood, but once I received it, the product said indoor only. I can't say for sure that they would work on concrete.

Yes, just run water on the bit while you cut. I used them on granite slabs and they worked great.

I haven't put these to something as hard as plaster, but they seem capable. Also, know that the blade tips in this set are not very fine edged. If you're going for overall shaping on a large scale, you'd be better off with a Dremel like Osomatta recommended. On a very fine scale, these may or may not be delicate enough.

These are for paper.it would go really fast if used on cement.you could give it a try.

They provide a very hard finish on wood. I think they might work on Formica but I do not know whether they achieve water fastness.

I have no idea since I've never tried them on cement...My thought is that it would work since it works on hardwood flooring. It may not move as smoothly but I would think it would work

I use them for glazed porcelain and stoneware. They work well for smaller areas up to an inch +/-. I always use them dry and wear a mask to avoid inhalation of the dust. These are a good value, but I have found a couple of them have a shaft that is not perfectly straight-mounted and then the wobble is unacceptable.

I've been happy with the premium (japanese) mortise chisels from lee valley. You can probably use any brand successfully if you have enough time to re-hone the chisels.

No. they are much to big. They are designed to be used in a Mortising machine. The machine is like a drill press with a special socket the chisel portion fits into so that it remains stationary, or not spinning. The drill bit spins inside the chisel and the hole is squared as the lever is pulled and the bit plunges into the material.

Yaktrax are definitely meant for outdoor only use. The coils that provide traction will damage wood, vinyl and tile flooring.

As I understand it this a tool intended to used on relatively soft materials such as wood or platic. Not on heavy gage steel or ceramics for instance. As such you will have no problem with the duration or performance of the tools. On their availability, so far Amazon has proven to be a good and reliable source, although many Sears storees do carry them. I hope this helps you makeup your mind about this tool.

They are mainly designed for wood, the set has multi tooth assortment. You probably can use for plastic, but these are not metal blades

No these are just for sheet metal. I think they make shears for that. Not sure if dewalt makes them or not. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I bought these for wood carving. My daughter, who is a chef recommended them to me. She cuts and uses these for all kinds of preparation.

I bought these to use to level a refrigerator sitting on a concrete floor. I could not make them work correctly, so I went back to using wooden shims. The package had already been opened, otherwise I would have returned them. They might work perfectly for what you describe, partly because they are semi-transparent and won't be so obvious and partly because they are not wood which might not do well in an outside area. They will probably be fine for something that does not move -- i.e., a table or chairs. But, definitely not for furniture that will be moved around -- i.e., dining chairs.
