The Mason's Chisel is a metal chisel used for shaping stone. It is a Masonry tool that doubles as a one-handed improvised weapon. As a weapon it trains the Short Blunt skill.
It weighs 1 and swings slightly slower than base speed. Its damage is low and it wears out quickly in a fight. Its real value is in stonework. The Mason's Chisel is a common find in garage crates, and it can be forged at a Primitive Forge or better.
Combat
Each hit deals between 0.4 and 0.8 damage, so a zombie takes several blows. The reach is 1.2 tiles. The crit chance starts at 30 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
The chisel is one-handed and light, so its endurance cost is low. The Short Blunt skill raises its speed, damage and crit chance as it levels. It is a backup weapon at best. A hammer or any proper short blunt weapon does the job better and spares the chisel for stonework.
Uses
The chisel is the tool for shaping stone. With Masonry 6 it chisels a Large Stone Axe Head. With Masonry 7 it chisels a Stone Maul Head. With Masonry 8 it makes a Stone Mace Head. It also makes stone blocks, stone wheels and a stone drill. A worn chisel can be smelted down at a furnace for iron or steel chunks.
