HEAVY-DUTY: Drop-hammer forged from one piece of Carbon steel. Tapered at the neck to prevent snapping at the weakest point. Placed in a furnace during the hardening process and then tempered to decrease brittleness. The thick handle shaft adds durability and the blade itself has additional ribs down the side and centre for increased strength for cutting larger blocks and bricks. You won't find a stronger bolster. Not for use on stone - see our Amazon store for stone chisels. ANTI-MUSHROOM HEAD: The domed head delays the onset of mushrooming and splintering after repeated use. Sharp wide cutting edge for clean cuts. Can be used on tiles too. And the Blue paint finish provides high visibility on busy sites. We've thought of everything! That's why Footprint tools are the preferred brand by professional builders and other tradesmen all over the globe.
