The purpose of the croze is to cut a groove(also known as the croze) round the inside of the staves, near each end, to take the heads.... This operation is carried out after the ends of the staves have been levelled with the Sun Plane, and after the insides of the stave ends have been smoothed by the Chiv to make a level surface on which to cut the croze groove. In use it is held in the same way as the Chiv. 2, record 5, English, - croze

a cooper’s plane having a convex sole for smoothing the inside of casks and for chamfering, crozing, and chiming. 3, record 6, English, - howel

The purpose of the Chiv is to make a smooth surface in the form of a shallow depression near the top of the staves on which the croze groove will subsequently be cut. If this surface were left uneven, the croze groove would not be equal in depth all round, and the cask would leak. 2, record 6, English, - howel

Selon le "Dictionary of Tools" de R. A. Salaman, le nom de "stockholm" pour ce rabot de tonnelier ne se rapporterait aucunement à la capitale de la Suède mais pourrait être une déformation du mot irlandais "stock howel". 4, record 6, French, - stockholm
