Masonry chisel Makita P-25074

The Makita P-25074 masonry chisel is a solid hand tool designed for controlled cutting and shaping of masonry materials. The chisel has a flat tip with a 20 mm cutting edge and a total length of 250 mm, providing reach and leverage for light to medium demolition and finishing tasks. Built with durable steel and a hardened cutting face, the tool is intended for repeated impact when used with a hammer or club hammer, delivering consistent performance for site work and repair jobs.

Advantages

The flat-tip design ensures a consistent contact area for scoring, cutting, and trimming mortar joints or bricks. Its 250 mm length balances reach and handling, while the 20 mm cutting edge offers a precise line for controlled material removal. Heat-treated steel construction improves wear resistance and helps maintain sharpness. The robust build supports reliable use under repeated hammer strikes without excessive deformation.

• Removing and trimming mortar between bricks or blocks
• Cutting and dressing brick, block, and stone edges
• Chiselling small sections in repair and renovation work
• On-site masonry tasks requiring controlled material removal

Key specifications

• Tip style: flat
• Cutting edge width: 20 mm
• Total length: 250 mm

• Intended use: masonry cutting and chipping

How to use

Position the flat tip against the work surface at the desired cut or joint location. Strike the chisel head with an appropriate hammer or mallet, applying controlled blows to avoid overcutting. For scoring or splitting bricks, begin with light taps to create a guiding groove, then increase force as needed. Maintain a secure grip on the tool and ensure the workpiece is properly supported to reduce movement and improve accuracy. After use, inspect the cutting edge and straighten or sharpen as required to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

Use eye and hand protection while chiselling and follow standard safety practices. Match hammer weight to task — lighter hammers for trimming and heavier club hammers for demolition. Store the chisel in a dry place and keep the cutting edge protected to prolong service life.
