Description
The Qaadir Ripping Chisel is a robust, workshop-grade cutting tool engineered for the demanding material-shaping tasks common in orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) fabrication. Designed with a sharp, durable blade and reinforced handle, this chisel delivers powerful, controlled cuts through dense materials—making it an essential tool for technicians working with plastics, foam blocks, plaster models, and laminated composites.
Whether you’re modifying a plaster positive for an AFO, trimming excess material from an orthosis, or shaping foam for a prosthetic liner, the Qaadir Ripping Chisel offers the strength, stability, and precision required for professional-grade results.
Key Features & Benefits
✔ Heavy-Duty Blade for Tough Materials
Fabricated from high-strength steel, the blade stays sharp under continuous use and resists bending or chipping. Perfect for:
-
Cutting rigid or semi-rigid plastics
-
Trimming EVA, PE foams, and cork
-
Sculpting and shaping plaster models
-
Removing laminate excess or drips during finishing
✔ Reinforced Handle for Safe, Stable Grip
Ergonomically designed to deliver maximum control and force while reducing hand fatigue—important when working on large or detailed modifications.
✔ Designed for Rough Shaping and Fast Material Removal
The ripping chisel excels at high-force tasks, allowing technicians to:
-
Remove bulk plaster from positive molds
-
Shape high-volume foam models
-
Carve orthoses prior to fine-sanding
-
Open channels or cut trimlines before finishing
✔ Precision Edge for Controlled Cuts
Though powerful, the blade provides accurate control, ideal for creating consistent thickness, shaping contours, or refining medial/lateral support areas.
