Masonry chisels AWTools AW32914, set weight 222 g, steel construction

Masonry chisels AWTools AW32914, set weight 222 g, steel construction are hand tools designed for chiselling, shaping and removing mortar and stone in masonry and brickwork. The set includes chisels with forged blades made of chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel, featuring hardened and ground beveled side edges for consistent cutting performance. Each chisel has an ergonomic plastic handle with a thermoplastic rubber (TPR) anti-slip surface and a durable steel striking cap for use with a hammer to drive the blade into material safely and accurately.

Advantages

The forged CrV steel blades provide improved edge retention and resistance to wear during repeated striking. Hardened and ground bevels ensure predictable cutting lines and reduce chisel wandering. Ergonomic handles with TPR coating give a secure grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended tasks. Steel striking caps protect the handle from impact and extend tool life when used with hand hammers.

Suitable for

• Masonry and brickwork: removing mortar joints and shaping bricks or blocks
• Light demolition: controlled removal of small masonry sections
• Detailing work: finishing edges and creating recesses in stone and concrete
• Carpentry and general woodworking tasks requiring a robust chisel for striking

Key specifications

• Total set weight: 222 g
• Blade edges: hardened and ground beveled sides
• Handle: ergonomic plastic with TPR anti-slip coating
• Striking cap: reinforced steel cap for hammer strikes

How to use

Hold the chisel by the ergonomic handle with a firm grip and position the blade at the desired cutting line on the mortar or masonry surface. Use a suitable hand hammer to strike the steel cap, applying controlled impacts to advance the blade and remove material incrementally. Work from the edges toward the centre for sections of mortar, and make several light strikes rather than heavy blows to maintain control and reduce the risk of chisel damage. For woodworking or carpentry tasks, ensure the chisel angle and force are appropriate for the material and application.

Usage recommendations

Always wear eye protection and gloves when chiselling. Inspect the blade and handle before use for damage; do not use a cracked or deformed chisel. Keep the cutting edge sharp and free from nicks by occasional honing; store in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Use the chisel within its intended scope—masonry, light demolition and detailing—to ensure safe and efficient operation.
