Tool found in workbench is electric (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chisel

'tool' is the definition.
(chisel is a kind of tool)

'in workbench is electric' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'CHISEL' is hidden in the letters of 'workbench is electric'.

'found' is the link.

(Other definitions for chisel that I've seen before include "Wood-shaping tool" , "Hand tool to shape wood" , "Sculpting tool" , "Carpenter's tool for shaping wood" , "Tool for shaping wood or metal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
