Masonry chisel Makita P-24957

The Makita P-24957 masonry chisel is a hand-held tool designed for precise shaping and removal of masonry material. With an overall length of 250 mm and a 60 mm flat cutting edge, the chisel offers controlled cutting action for tasks such as trimming, joint cleaning and removing small sections of brick, stone or mortar. The flat-tip profile supports even force distribution across the cutting edge for straight, consistent results when paired with a compatible hammer or mallet.

Advantages

The hardened cutting edge maintains sharpness under repeated impact, while the solid shaft construction reduces bending and delivers reliable transfer of hammer blows to the work surface. Its 250 mm length provides reach and leverage without compromising handling, and the 60 mm blade width balances material removal rate with precision. The flat tip design simplifies levelling and smoothing of masonry surfaces and enables accurate trimming near joints and corners.

Suitable for

• Trimming and shaping bricks, concrete blocks and natural stone
• Removing old mortar and cleaning joints
• Cutting out small damaged areas in masonry
• Detail chiselling around openings, edges and fittings

Key specifications

• Length: 250 mm
• Cutting edge width: 60 mm
• Tip geometry: flat/chisel tip
• Material: hardened steel (impact-resistant)
• Intended use: masonry chiselling and shaping

How to use

Position the chisel tip against the masonry surface at the desired angle and strike the shaft with a suitable hammer or mallet, applying controlled impacts to remove material in small increments. For joint work, place the flat edge into the joint and work along its length with repeated, measured blows. Keep a firm grip on the chisel while maintaining alignment to avoid slipping. For larger removals, work progressively from the outer area toward the section to be removed to prevent uncontrolled breakage.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection. Inspect the chisel for signs of excessive wear or damage before use and do not use if the shaft or cutting edge is cracked. Use a hammer with a striking face suitable for hand tools and avoid striking the cutting edge directly with hardened steel or metal tools that could cause chipping. Store the chisel in a dry place to minimise corrosion and maintain edge condition by occasional light sharpening with suitable files or stones when necessary.
