Description / Abstract:
This Standard provides safety requirements for the design,
construction, testing, and use of
hatchets. Hatchets have a striking face on one end of the head for use
in driving common
(unhardened) nails or striking wood products or both; and a blade or
bit on the opposite end for
use in cutting, notching, and shaping wood products or wallboard
products, or both; cutting,
spacing, and aligning soft roofing products; and pulling common
(unhardened) nails when the tool is
provided with a nail slot.
