Checklist for Flat Chisels

Application Areas
  • Flat chisels are tool attachments for hammer drills and demolition hammers.
  • They have a slightly flattened, but still quite narrow end. This leads to a quite high power transmission.
  • Flat chisels are therefore ideal for general demolition work.
  • With a flat chisel you can, for example, remove plaster from the wall, work on bricks or concrete.
  • With restrictions, they can also be used for removing tiles, but they do not achieve as precise results as a special tile chisel.
  • If you are planning extensive demolition work, you should consider purchasing a chisel set with different chisels.
Tool Holder
  • Make sure that the flat chisel fits the tool holder of the existing demolition equipment.
  • Powerful rotary hammers and larger demolition hammers usually use an SDS-Max system, which allows for very strong power transfer.
  • Smaller demolition hammers, on the other hand, are equipped with an SDS-Plus tool holder.
  • The two systems are not compatible with each other.
Hand Chisel
  • An alternative to the flat chisel for demolition tools are hand chisels, which are traditionally used with a hammer.
  • An ergonomically shaped handle makes working easier.
  • Hand chisels should also have hand guards to prevent finger injuries.
Ribbons
  • The chisel tip is usually made of hardened, high-alloy tool steel and is very robust.
  • However, the chisel wears out and loses its sharpness during use.
  • It must therefore be reground regularly.
  • Some manufacturers offer self-sharpening chisels that save you from having to resharpen them.
