Masonry Chisel Makita P-05723

The Makita P-05723 masonry chisel is a 400 mm long single-piece chisel designed for controlled material removal in masonry, concrete and similar construction materials. Built with a hardened working edge and a robust shank, this masonry chisel is intended to deliver consistent performance during chiselling, scoring and light demolition work. The chisel's length and hardened tip provide reach and durability for repetitive tasks on brick, block and mortar joints.

Advantages

The tool offers a balance of reach and control due to its 400 mm length and single-piece construction, reducing flex and improving accuracy of blows. Hardened tip geometry increases wear resistance and maintains cutting performance over time. Solid shank construction provides resilience to repeated hammer impacts, while a precisely ground cutting edge ensures predictable material removal and easier joint cleaning.

Suitable for

• Removing mortar between bricks and blocks
• Chiselling small sections of concrete and masonry
• Cleaning out joints and preparing surfaces for repointing
• Light demolition work where controlled strikes are required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 400 mm
• Construction: single-piece forged steel shank
• Tip: hardened cutting edge for masonry
• Intended material: brick, concrete, mortar and similar masonry
• Supply configuration: sold individually (single piece)

How to use

Position the chisel tip against the work surface at the desired angle and strike the head with a suitable hammer, applying controlled blows to remove material gradually. For joint work use shallow angled blows to avoid damaging adjacent units; for small removal or demolition tasks increase force carefully while maintaining control. Keep the chisel tip aligned and re-sharpen or dress the edge as needed to preserve cutting performance. Use appropriate eye and hand protection while working, and secure loose debris regularly to maintain a clear work area.

Usage recommendations

For extended service life, avoid excessive twisting or prying motions with the chisel. Use hammers with suitable mass for masonry work and inspect the tool before use for cracks or deformation. Store the chisel in a dry place and protect the cutting edge to prevent unnecessary wear or damage.
