Breaking the chisel or breaking the mold is an idiom for uniqueness and difference. An artist would use a chisel for making sculptures. Molds are used in art as well. Then soft clay, melted wax, molten metal, liquified plastic, or whatever else could be poured into it. Often, the molds can be reused to make identical pieces. So if you break the mold, or the artist breaks the mold after the first one, then there can never be another one that is exactly alike. So this can be used to describe a unique and/or difficult person. They either turned out to be so bad that the "artist" deliberately broke the mold or broke their chisel, or the person turned out so unique that there could never be a way to make/find anyone even close.
