Hardy tools are metalworking tools, used in forging. A hardy has a square shank, which prevents it from rotating when placed in an anvil's Hardy hole. The term "hardy", used alone, refers to a hot cutting chisel used in the square hole of the anvil. Other bottom tools are identified by function. Typical hardy tools include chisels and bending drifts.
