The design of the traditional Slate Bar — or bent chisel digging bar — evolved to help workers loosen, lift and move slabs of stone in slate mines. The tool combines an angled chis el end for scraping, prying, separating and lifting, with a diamond point for striking and breaking stone, concrete, tarmac or compacted or rocky soil. The bend in the chisel end provides a built-in fulcrum for lifting boulders and other heavy objects, while the 1” hex shaft adds heft and improves grip and strength. Offered in five different lengths to suit a range of applications and users, the Warwood Tool Slate Bar is made the same way we’ve been making our tools since 1854 — forged one at a time from premium, high carbon U.S. steel by skilled American craftsmen.
