Stanley Works Tools FMHT16423 Mason Chisel 1.75x8.5 in

Product Description

The STANLEY WORKS TOOLS FMHT16423 is a mason chisel designed for cutting and splitting hard stone, brick, and concrete. Constructed from one-piece chrome vanadium steel that has been hardened, quenched, and tempered, this chisel delivers consistent edge retention under heavy striking loads. A powder coat finish protects the body from corrosion and wear on the job site. At 1.75 inches wide and approximately 8.5 inches in working length, it fits standard hand position for controlled chiseling work. Masonry contractors, bricklayers, and tile setters reach for this tool when precise splits or cuts in masonry materials are required.

This chisel is suited for residential and commercial masonry work where manual cutting of stone, brick, or concrete block is part of the scope. Typical applications include tuck-pointing prep, block shaping, stone splitting, and removal of hardened mortar. It is sized for single-hand grip with a standard hand maul or club hammer. The tool is appropriate for use in both new construction and renovation scenarios where power cutting tools are impractical or unavailable.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by masonry tradespeople and general contractors performing hand-cutting of masonry materials. Always wear eye protection and appropriate gloves when striking a chisel on stone, brick, or concrete, as spalling and flying fragments are common. Use a hand maul or club hammer sized appropriately for the task - do not strike with a finish hammer or framing hammer. Inspect the striking end for mushrooming before each use and dress or replace the tool if deformation is present.
