Chisel bit Irwin GOUGE CHISEL 22x250 mm SDS+ for rotary hammer

Irwin GOUGE CHISEL 22x250 mm SDS+ for rotary hammer is a 22 mm wide, 250 mm long gouge chisel engineered for use with SDS+ rotary hammers. The tool uses an SDS+ shank interface for a secure connection to compatible hammers and is designed to remove material from masonry, concrete and similar substrates. Its geometry concentrates impact energy along the cutting edge to improve material removal efficiency during gouging, trenching and detail demolition tasks.

Advantages

The gouge profile and hardened steel construction provide consistent cutting performance and resistance to wear under repeated impact. The SDS+ shank ensures straightforward, tool-free insertion and secure retention in rotary hammer chucks that accept SDS+ accessories. At 250 mm length the chisel reaches deeper into work areas while the 22 mm blade width balances precision and productivity for controlled material removal.

Suitable for

• Gouging channels and trenches in concrete and masonry
• Removing plaster, mortar and render
• Detail demolition and removal of damaged concrete
• Preparation of surfaces for repair or installation work

Key specifications

• Blade width: 22 mm
• Overall length: 250 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Tip shape: gouge (curved cutting profile)
• Material: hardened steel for impact applications

How to use

Fit the chisel into an SDS+ compatible rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the shank is fully engaged and locked. Select appropriate impact and rotation settings or switch to hammer-only mode if available, then position the gouge edge against the work surface and apply steady, controlled pressure. Move the tool along the intended cut or trench, allowing the hammer impacts to break and remove material. Periodically check the chisel for wear or damage and replace if the cutting edge becomes excessively worn or deformed.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and gloves. Avoid lateral bending of the chisel and do not use the tool with incompatible hammer systems. For best results on reinforced concrete, work incrementally and consider using a combination of chisels and other demolition accessories matched to the material and task.
