Masonry Chisel Makita D-34235 Length 400 mm

The Makita D-34235 masonry chisel, length 400 mm, is a hand tool intended for cutting, shaping and removing masonry materials such as brick, concrete and stone. Its 400 mm overall length gives extended reach and improved leverage for controlled strikes and precise trimming. The chisel geometry is tailored for masonry work, balancing a sharp cutting edge with a hardened body for repeated use on abrasive materials.

Advantages

The long 400 mm length improves reach in deeper joints and recessed areas while reducing the need to reposition the user or workpiece. Hardened steel construction provides resistance to wear and maintains edge sharpness during repetitive operations. A straight, well-balanced profile promotes accurate guidance and reduces the risk of unintended chipping. The blade design enables clean removal of material with fewer passes, increasing efficiency on restoration and construction tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming brick, block and concrete units
• Removing mortar and cleaning joints
• Detail shaping of stone and masonry surfaces
• Restoration, renovation and on-site masonry adjustments

Key specifications

• Overall length: 400 mm
• Tool type: masonry chisel for manual striking
• Material: hardened steel cutting edge and body
• Blade profile: flat/straight for cutting and trimming
• Intended use: masonry materials (brick, concrete, stone)

How to use

Place the chisel edge against the work surface at the desired cutting line or mortar joint, keeping the blade alignment steady and the handle axis in line with the strike direction. Use a suitable hammer or mallet to deliver controlled blows to the chisel head; start with light taps to score the material, then increase force as needed for deeper cuts. Maintain a secure grip, wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves, and support loose fragments to avoid sudden breaks.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the chisel edge and re-sharpen or grind with appropriate equipment when the cutting performance decreases. Avoid striking the chisel on hardened metal surfaces or using it as a substitute for a cold chisel on metal. Store in a dry place to prevent corrosion and protect the cutting edge with a cover when not in use.
