SDS Chisel: Professional Features, Technical Specifications & Competitive Advantages

1. Core Features

Patented SDS Connection System

• 10mm shank (SDS Plus) for light-to-medium duty applications; 18mm shank (SDS Max) for heavy-duty demolition work

• Four distinct grooves (2 open + 2 closed):

  • Open slots: Secure locking balls while allowing longitudinal hammer movement

  • Closed slots: Transmit rotational torque for efficient material removal

• Quick-release mechanism: Enables tool-free bit changes in seconds

Heavy-Duty Construction

• High-carbon alloy steel body with precision heat treatment for maximum durability

• Tungsten carbide tips (select models) for extended life in abrasive materials

• R-Tec coating (Bosch) provides up to 30% more wear resistance than standard chisels

• Self-sharpening designs (e.g., Milwaukee SLEDGE™) maintain cutting efficiency

Versatile Bit Configurations

• Flat chisel: For general demolition, removing plaster, tile, and thin layers of concrete

• Pointed chisel: For breaking through thick concrete, masonry, and stone

• Scaling chisel: Designed for removing stubborn coatings, adhesives, and tiles

• Hollow chisel: Ideal for grooving, chasing, and creating channels in masonry

• Spade chisel: Used for removing mortar between bricks and light demolition

3. Competitive Advantages

Productivity Boosters

• 3× faster material removal compared to manual chisels

• Reduced operator fatigue: Power-assisted hammering eliminates manual swinging

• Batch efficiency: Ideal for large-scale demolition, renovation, and construction projects

• One tool, multiple applications: Replace multiple specialized hand tools

Cost-Effectiveness

• Extended tool life: High-quality materials and construction reduce replacement frequency

• Reduced labor costs: Completes jobs in fractions of the time required by traditional methods

• Compatibility with existing SDS tools: No need to purchase new equipment for different chisel types

Precision & Versatility

• Accurate control: Guided hammering action allows for precise material removal

• Works on all masonry materials: Concrete, brick, stone, tile, and plaster

• Suitable for both professional and DIY use (with appropriate safety gear)

Superior Safety Features

• No-slip grip designs for secure handling during operation

• Vibration-dampening construction reduces long-term operator strain

• Industry-standard safety protocols built into design

4. Applications

Construction & Demolition

• Concrete wall/ground breaking and removal

• Removing structural elements during renovations

• Demolishing old pavements, driveways, and foundations

Renovation Work

• Removing tiles, adhesives, and floor coverings

• Stripping plaster and wallpaper from walls

• Removing mortar between bricks for repointing

Industrial Maintenance

• Removing rust, scale, and coatings from machinery

• Cleaning concrete surfaces in industrial facilities

• Performing light demolition in manufacturing plants

Specialized Applications

• Masonry carving and shaping

• Creating channels for electrical/pipework installation

• Removing graffiti from concrete surfaces

5. Choosing the Right SDS Chisel

• For light-duty work (home DIY, small renovations): SDS Plus with flat or pointed chisel

• For heavy-duty demolition (commercial construction): SDS Max with reinforced flat or spade chisel

• For specialized tasks (tile removal, grooving): Choose specific chisel types with appropriate features
