I have this multi-tool that i never use the larger Flathead screwdriver. so i made it into a chesel

you'll need (at minimum)

some sort of grinder. I got one for £20 brand new from screwfix

a Flathead screwdriver (to make into a chisel)

gloves (don't want you to burn you hands)

safety glasses. a must with things that spark. i can tell you from experience that sparks and eyes don't mix well

Coarse Grinding

get the general shaping with the coarse grindstone. look for an even finish. unless you want a skew

Fine Tuning

fine tune with the fine grindstone. look for a angle about 40 degrees. you can make this angle sharper if you want.

Proof in the Pudding
