Quick take
Compact 19-inch ice chisel with dual-action head and anti-vibration grip for ice hole chiseling and tip-up maintenance.
The Eskimo CH9 is a 19-inch bucket chisel with a hammer-style head on one end and a chisel end on the other. The hammer end is for pounding through thick ice, while the chisel end works around tip-ups. It has a welded steel body, a foam grip and a wrist tether, and it is short enough to ride in a fishing bucket.
