Masonry chisel Makita D-08735 Flat chisel Steel 250 mm 40 mm

The Makita D-08735 masonry chisel is a flat chisel engineered for controlled cutting and shaping of masonry materials. With an overall length of 250 mm and a cutting edge width of 40 mm, the tool is made from heat-treated steel to withstand repeated impact during chisel work. It is suitable for use with compatible handheld demolition hammers, rotary hammers with chisel function, or for manual striking with a hammer when appropriate safety measures are observed.

Advantages

The chisel combines a sturdy steel construction with a precisely ground cutting edge to offer consistent performance over time, resisting bluntness and deformation under repetitive use. Its 250 mm length provides reach and leverage for working on deeper joints and recessed areas, while the 40 mm flat blade delivers a broad cutting surface for efficient material removal. The flat profile supports straight, accurate cuts and smoothing of masonry surfaces.

Suitable for

• Cutting and shaping brick, block, and concrete surfaces
• Removing mortar joints and cleaning masonry grooves
• Chamfering edges and smoothing rough masonry faces
• Light demolition tasks and targeted material removal

How to use

Fit the chisel according to the instructions of the host tool if using it with a powered hammer or rotary tool; ensure the chisel is fully seated and locked before operation. Position the blade on the work surface at the intended cutting line and apply controlled impacts with the powered tool or a hand hammer. Use steady, guided strokes to remove material, and avoid prying motions that can overstress the blade. After use, inspect the cutting edge for chips or excessive wear and regrind or replace the chisel as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection, and gloves. Select the flat chisel for tasks requiring broad material removal and straight edges. Match the chisel length and blade width to the task: the 250 mm length gives reach for deeper joints while the 40 mm blade balances cutting surface and precision. Store the chisel in a dry place and protect the cutting edge during transport to preserve performance.
