Masonry chisel Makita P-05511

The Makita P-05511 masonry chisel is designed for effective cutting and shaping of concrete and masonry materials. At 250 mm overall length with a 20 mm flat chisel tip, this tool balances reach and control for removal of mortar, trimming brick and concrete edges, and preparing surfaces for repair. Constructed for heavy-duty use, the chisel is suitable for repeated impact from hammers and demolition tools and delivers consistent cutting performance on a variety of masonry substrates.

Advantages

The chisel's hardened steel tip and full-length shank provide durability under repeated impact, reducing wear during prolonged use. Its 20 mm flat profile offers precise, straight cuts and efficient material removal while the 250 mm length gives improved reach into joints and narrow areas. The tool is compatible with standard hammering techniques and is built to maintain edge geometry for reliable results over time.

Suitable for

• Removing mortar and joint material between bricks or blocks
• Trimming and shaping concrete edges and blocks
• Chiselling out channels or recesses in masonry before installations
• Preparing surfaces for patching or repair work
• General light demolition where controlled removal is required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 250 mm
• Tip type: flat chisel
• Tip width: 20 mm
• Material: hardened steel tip with robust shank for impact resistance
• Designed for use with hand hammers and powered demolition hammers where applicable

How to use

Position the 20 mm flat tip against the work surface at the desired angle and strike the opposite end with a suitable hammer. For controlled material removal, use steady, measured blows and progress along the work area rather than attempting large single strikes. When chiselling joints or narrow channels, orient the flat face to guide material away from the surface you intend to keep. Inspect the chisel before use for any signs of excessive wear or deformation and replace if the tip is mushroomed or cracked.

Usage recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles, gloves and hearing protection. Secure loose material and ensure a stable working position. Maintain the chisel by dressing the tip with a grinder or file if minor deformation occurs; do not attempt to use a damaged tool. Store the chisel in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
