Stanley FMHT16468 FATMAX 3 in. Floor Chisel with Guard
The Stanley FMHT16468 FATMAX 3 in. Floor Chisel with Guard is built for prying up flooring, cutting through tongue-and-groove boards and removing material in demolition work. It is one-piece forged steel that is hardened, quenched and tempered for durability under hammer blows. A bi-material hand guard helps protect your hand while striking, and a powder-coated finish helps protect the chisel. The 3 in. blade and 11 in. overall length give good reach and control. It is backed by a Stanley limited lifetime warranty. The wide blade helps lift and separate flooring boards and underlayment, and the hand guard adds protection for the hand holding the chisel while you strike. The powder-coated finish helps protect the steel, and the 11 in. overall length keeps your hands at a comfortable distance from the striking surface.

Stanley FMHT16468 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 3 inch floor chisel get under hardwood flooring without splitting the boards I want to save?
The Stanley FMHT16468 FATMAX floor chisel has a 3 in. wide blade, which spreads the prying load across several inches of board instead of concentrating it at a point. That is what you want for lifting hardwood strips, separating tongue-and-groove boards, and pulling underlayment. It is a demolition and tear-out chisel, though, not a salvage tool. If the goal is reusing the boards, work from the waste side and let the wide blade lift rather than pry against the face.
2) Is this floor chisel meant to be struck with a hammer or sledge?
It is a struck tool. The FMHT16468 is one-piece forged steel that is hardened, quenched and tempered specifically so it holds up under hammer blows, and a bi-material hand guard sits between the striking end and your hand. The 11 in. overall length keeps your holding hand back from the strike zone. Strike it with a hammer, not with the flat of anything you care about.
3) Is 11 inches long enough to work from a standing or kneeling position on a floor tear-out?
At 11 in. overall, the FATMAX floor chisel is a kneeling or crouching tool. That length gives reach and control on flooring work and keeps your hands clear of the hammer, but it is not a long-handled stand-up demo tool. Crews doing whole-room tear-outs generally pair a chisel like this for detail and edge work with a long pry bar for bulk lifting.
4) Does the one-piece forged construction matter, or is a two-piece chisel fine?
One piece means the blade and the striking end are the same forging, with no weld or joint to fail where the load is highest. On the FMHT16468 that forging is then hardened, quenched and tempered. For repeated hammer work on subfloor and nailed-down flooring, that is the difference that decides how long the tool lasts.
5) Can I use a floor chisel like this on tile underlayment and subfloor, not just wood flooring?
Yes. Stated applications for the FMHT16468 include removing tile underlayment, lifting subfloor and underlayment, and chiseling out subfloor sections, along with hardwood removal and general demolition. The 3 in. blade is the working width for all of it.
6) What protects the chisel from rust and the user's hand from the hammer?
Two separate things. The steel carries a powder-coated finish to protect it, and the bi-material hand guard is a molded collar that shields the hand gripping the chisel while you strike. Neither is a substitute for gloves and eye protection on demo work.
7) What part number do I order for the Stanley FATMAX 3 inch floor chisel?
Order Stanley FMHT16468. That is the manufacturer part number for the FATMAX 3 in. floor chisel with guard, and 3 in. is the single size it is offered in, so there is no width option to specify.
