Masonry Chisels AWTools AW43140 set, weight 560 g, steel construction

AWTools AW43140 masonry chisels are a set of hand and machine-compatible chisels for cutting, shaping and removing mortar, brick and stone in construction, renovation and repair tasks. Made of chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel that is hardened and tempered, the chisels combine durable edge retention with resistance to deformation. The set weighs 560 g and features a wide blade profile designed to speed up material removal while maintaining control during chip extraction. The chisels are suitable for both manual use with a hammer and for use with rotary hammer drills that accept SDS-PLUS fittings.

Advantages

The CrV steel construction provides enhanced toughness and wear resistance, reducing the need for frequent regrinding. Hardened and tempered cutting edges deliver consistent performance when breaking through concrete, tile and masonry. A wide blade geometry increases the work rate by collecting more material per strike and improving efficiency in demolition or refurbishment tasks. Compatibility with SDS-PLUS rotary hammers expands versatility between hand-held chiselling and powered demolition work.

Suitable for

• Removing mortar joints and cleaning brickwork
• Chiselling out tiles and thin concrete layers
• Demolition of small masonry structures and surface preparation
• Edge profiling and controlled chip removal in repair work
• Use with SDS-PLUS rotary hammers or manual hammer strikes

Key specifications

• Material: chromium-vanadium (CrV) steel, hardened and tempered
• Weight: 560 g (set)
• Blade type: wide chisel blade for faster material removal
• Compatibility: SDS-PLUS rotary hammer drills and manual use
• Intended use: concrete, tile, brick, and general masonry

How to use

Select the appropriate chisel blade for the task and secure it in the rotary hammer if using powered equipment, ensuring the SDS-PLUS connection is engaged according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. For manual use, place the chisel tip against the masonry at the desired angle and deliver controlled hammer strikes, keeping the body and hands clear of flying debris. When working with powered tools, start at low impact settings if available to establish a groove, then proceed with steady passes. Regularly inspect the cutting edge for chips or deformation and re-sharpen or replace the chisel as necessary to maintain efficiency and safety.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment: safety goggles, gloves, hearing protection and dust mask. Secure the workpiece and maintain a stable stance. Avoid excessive side loads on the chisels to prevent bending, and store the set in a dry place to minimise corrosion.
