Stanley Works Tools FMHT16578 Fatmax Concrete Chisel

Product Description

The STANLEY WORKS TOOLS FMHT16578 is a FatMax 5/8-inch concrete chisel with an integrated hand guard, designed for breaking, chipping, and scoring concrete, masonry, and similar hard materials. The 5/8-inch tip width makes it well suited for precision scoring lines, mortar joint removal, and detailed demolition work. The included guard helps protect the user's hand during heavy-impact strikes with a hammer or hand maul. This chisel is a standard hand tool used by masons, concrete finishers, general contractors, and experienced DIYers on residential and commercial job sites.

The FMHT16578 is appropriate for applications involving poured concrete, concrete block, brick, and stone. Common use cases include removing old mortar, breaking tile set in mortar beds, chipping away damaged concrete sections, and cutting expansion joints by hand. The chisel ships as a single unit and is a go-to hand tool for tasks where a rotary hammer or demo saw is unnecessary or impractical in tight spaces.

Installation Notes

This chisel is installed by hand and driven with a hand maul, club hammer, or similar striking tool. Always wear impact-rated safety glasses and work gloves when operating any hand chisel on hard materials. Inspect the chisel tip before use and redress any mushroomed strike face per standard tool-safety practice to prevent metal fragmentation. No power source or special tools are required for use.
