Chisel (SDS+) Irwin Spade Chisel 40 x 250 mm — model 10502196

Irwin Spade Chisel SDS+ 40 x 250 mm is a replacement SDS+ shank chisel designed for rotary hammer work targeting concrete, stone and brick. With a 40 mm wide spade head and 250 mm overall length, it is made to remove tiles, chip away mortar and perform controlled demolition where a narrow working profile is needed. The SDS+ connection ensures secure mounting in compatible rotary hammers and allows fast bit changes for continuous onsite work.

Advantages

The chisel combines a hardened steel working edge and a reinforced shank to resist bending and blunt impact during heavy use. Its 40 mm blade width provides a focused cutting profile that reduces unwanted material removal while the 250 mm length offers extended reach into joints and confined areas. The SDS+ fitting secures the bit in the tool and simplifies swapping between chisels, improving workflow efficiency on renovation and masonry jobs.

Suitable for

• Removing tiles and thin screed from concrete and masonry surfaces
• Chiseling out mortar joints and localized concrete demolition
• Creating channels or recesses for pipe and cable installation
• Cleaning up edges and preparing surfaces for repair

Key specifications

• Tip type: spade/blade chisel suitable for demolition and material removal
• Shank: SDS+ compatible connection for rotary hammers
• Blade width: 40 mm providing a narrow removal profile
• Total length: 250 mm for reach into joints and confined spaces
• Material: hardened steel construction designed for impact resistance

How to use

Insert the SDS+ shank into a compatible rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring it locks securely. Position the spade blade against the target surface at the required angle and apply steady pressure while operating the hammer in the appropriate chiseling mode. Work progressively from the edges of the area to be removed to maintain control and avoid overcutting; allow the tool to absorb most of the impact rather than forcing the bit. Regularly inspect the blade for wear and replace when the cutting edge becomes excessively rounded or damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and gloves. Choose an SDS+ rotary hammer with an appropriate impact energy rating for the material you are working on. For prolonged use, pause periodically to check bit condition and to prevent overheating of the shank; store the chisel dry to avoid corrosion.
