The Small Punch and Chisel Set is a kit of small metal punches and chisels for piercing and shaping. It counts as a punch and as an awl in crafting.
It is one of the key tools for making armour. The in-game tooltip says it is used in many armour recipes, and the list is long. Metal, bone, tire, wood and scrap armour all call for it, along with much hide and leather sewing. Its main cost is that it wears fast.
The set is found in workshops, factories, tool stores, sheds and garages. A Blacksmithing survivor can also forge a new one. The Carpenter is the best occupation for tools. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. The Construction Worker and the DIY Expert also start with some Carpentry skill.
Using
Metal armour is the set's biggest job. Forge Metal Body Armor, Forge Coat of Plates Body Armor, Forge Metal Helmet and Forge Metal Mask all use it. The assembly recipes for forearm, shin, thigh and shoulder armour need it too. These run at a forge and need both Blacksmithing and Tailoring.
Survival armour uses it as well. Scrap metal armour needs Welding and Tailoring. Bone armour needs Carving and Tailoring. Bulletproof vest pieces can be cut into forearm, shin and thigh armour with Tailoring 5.
Most hide sewing recipes need the set as well. Hide coats, jackets, pants, boots, bags and the Hide Sleeping Bag are among them. Belts, holsters, pouches and bandoliers use it too. Pick Aramid Thread needs it too, with Tailoring level 2.
The Research Craft option on the set teaches Forge Metalworking Chisel, Forge Metalworking Punch and Forge Small Metalworking Punches and Chisels.
Upkeep
The set loses condition often and breaks after a modest number of jobs. A heavy armour project can wear through more than one set. A worn-out set can be smelted at an Advanced Furnace for two Steel Chunk.
Forge Small Metalworking Punches and Chisels makes a new set at a Simple Forge or better. It needs Blacksmithing level 5 and the recipe must be known. The inputs are 2 charcoal and 2 Steel Bar Quarter. A ball-peen hammer, tongs or metalworking pliers, and a whetstone or file are all kept.
