    Default What is that thingy on the end?

    I have been shearin splinter in my wooden head trying to think of the proper name for that metal ring around the end of a chisel's handle.

    Metal ring thingy is not the technical term but for the likes of me I can't remember. Any help from knuckle draggin' handtool WWers? :confused:

    Bit of a dead heat there! Not to be confused with feral, as in Rattus P Rattus.

    No, that's the other end... I know the metal cup over the tang end is the Ferrule.... It is the ring on the striking end that has me in a baffle. Thanks.

    Japanese chisels have an "iron hoop" at the top of the handle.
    The old textbooks simply referred to western chisels as having an "iron ferrule" at the top and a "brass ferrule" at the base of the handle to contain the tang.

    Default Ferrule

    http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/netdict?ferrule

    "One entry found for ferrule.

    Main Entry: fer·rule
    Pronunciation: 'fer-&l, 'fe-r&l
    Function: noun
    Etymology: alteration of Middle English virole, from Anglo-French, from Latin viriola, diminutive of viria bracelet, of Celtic origin; akin to Old Irish fiar oblique
    1 : a ring or cap usually of metal put around a slender shaft (as a cane or a tool handle) to strengthen it or prevent splitting
    2 : a usually metal sleeve used especially for joining or binding one part to another (as pipe sections or the bristles and handle of a brush)
    - fer·ruled adjective "

    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Okay, so I guess it is an Iron Ring or a Ferrule.... Too simple, perhaps that is why I couldn't recall... because it has no specific name.

    Tool Nomenclature is a strange and wonderful thing. Decades of schooling, a lifetime in the classroom and all I can come up with is "Thingy" Geeze I are a Fool.
