Description
Overview:
The Faithfull Fluted Plugging Chisel is a robust hand tool for fast, controlled removal of mortar between bricks during raking out and re-pointing. Made from durable steel with a fluted body, it clears dust and fragments as you work to keep the joint visible and reduce clogging. The narrow cutting edge targets the mortar without biting into the brick arrises. Overall length is 230mm (9in ≈ 229mm) with a blade width of 5mm (3/16in ≈ 4.8mm), giving good reach and precision in tight joints. Use with a club hammer or lump hammer for general masonry tasks. Cutting edge is wider than the blade for extra clearance in the joint. Manufacturer reference: FAIFPC. Suitable for tradespeople and DIY users alike.
