Why don't you strap the chisel to your back with the handle extending up
past you shoulder so you can just reach back beside your head and draw
it out.

This would be sort of like how Xena carries her sword.  Talk about shiny
brass acoutriments--but I digress.

Just be careful slipping back into the sheath.
