Masonry chisel Makita P-16287

The Makita P-16287 masonry chisel is a 600 mm long flat-tip chisel with a 24 mm cutting edge designed for controlled material removal in masonry work. Manufactured from heat-treated steel, the chisel is intended to provide consistent performance when cutting, shaping, or breaking concrete, brick and similar masonry materials. Its flat tip profile enables precise strikes and even force distribution, supporting tasks that require accuracy and repeatability.

Advantages

The flat tip and 24 mm cutting edge deliver a balance between precision and coverage, allowing for clean chipping and shaping of masonry surfaces. The 600 mm length provides reach and leverage for deeper or harder-to-access areas while maintaining control during use. Hardened steel construction improves wear resistance and extends tool life under frequent use. The simple, robust design makes the tool compatible with standard striking methods and suitable for use with hand hammers or compatible powered breakers where applicable.

Suitable for

• Removing mortar joints
• Chipping concrete and brick
• Shaping masonry edges and openings
• Preparing surfaces for repair or finishing

Key specifications

• Tip style: flat
• Overall length: 600 mm
• Cutting edge width: 24 mm
• Material: heat-treated steel
• Designed use: masonry chipping and shaping

How to use

Position the flat tip against the masonry where material removal is required and apply controlled strikes with an appropriate hammer or breaker. Maintain a steady angle between the chisel and the work surface to direct chips away from the area being preserved. For longer or deeper cuts, work progressively along the line to avoid overloading the tool. Inspect the cutting edge periodically and recondition or replace the chisel if excessive wear or deformation is observed.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection. Select a striking tool compatible with the chisel length and intended application, and avoid using a damaged or excessively worn chisel to prevent reduced effectiveness or increased risk of breakage.
