Masonry Chisels Makita E-20183 Length 250 mm Quantity 1 pc

The Makita E-20183 masonry chisel, length 250 mm, is a hand tool designed for accurate chiseling and shaping in masonry work. Its 250 mm overall length balances reach and control, allowing precise removal of mortar, cutting of bricks and stone, and trimming of edges. Constructed for durability, the chisel provides a firm striking face and a hardened cutting edge to withstand repeated hammer blows during demolition, renovation, and finishing tasks.

Advantages

The chisel's 250 mm length offers improved leverage and handling when working on walls, corners, and narrow joints. A hardened cutting edge maintains sharpness under heavy use, while robust shaft construction reduces bending and wear. The tool's design supports consistent impact transfer from hammer to work surface, delivering cleaner breaks and reduced chipping. The single-piece configuration simplifies maintenance and minimizes points of failure.

Suitable for

• Removing mortar between bricks and blocks
• Shaping and trimming clay bricks, concrete blocks, and natural stone
• Creating recesses or channels in masonry for installations
• Small to medium demolition and restoration tasks

Key specifications

• Total length: 250 mm
• Material: hardened steel cutting edge with durable shaft construction
• Type: masonry/chisel hand tool for hammer striking
• Finish: impact-resistant surface treatment to reduce corrosion and wear
• Quantity in pack: 1 piece

How to use

Position the chisel cutting edge against the intended masonry surface with the bevel oriented to guide the chip removal direction. Hold the shaft firmly and strike the blunt end with a suitable hammer, applying controlled blows to remove material gradually. For precision work, use lighter, more frequent strikes and adjust the chisel angle to control depth. Always ensure the workpiece is stable and support loose masonry to avoid unintended breakage.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection. Use a hammer suited for hand chiseling rather than power tools unless the chisel is rated for pneumatic or powered use. Regularly inspect the cutting edge for nicks and regrind or replace the chisel if deformation appears. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion and prolong service life.
