I bought a Makita Hammer Drill and Dewalt scaling chisel bit for various projects involving repairs and maintenance of concrete structures around my house. I had no previous experience with hammer drill or chisel tool but I have done many DYI's around the house to be able to handle this new tool in my collection. I used this recently to strip the cement/stucco patches from the steps in front of my house using this tool. It took nearly 4 hours to completely strip all the cement coating from 5 raisers. In my opinion, it would have been a very tough job without this tool. I have summarized the pros and cons of this chisel below.

Pros. Amazon's best price and fast shipping. Inexpensive but made of rugged tool steel with Dewalt brand (but made in China!) Fits all 1/2" SDS chucks of Makita, Dewalt, Bosch tools. The chisel is hard enough on rather softer materials like briks, stucco and other synthetic surfaces such as epoxy composites.

The cons. Dulls quicky on hard concrete or mortar. However it can be sharpened with a grinding wheel making sure not to overheat the cutting edges as this will destroy the hardness of the tool steel. I had to sharpen this tool at least 5 times during my work.

All in all I am satisfied with the quality of the tool for it seems cost effective for my intended use. However if I am looking for a high quality chisel, I would go for the rather expensive (>$125) carbide tool.

No reviews and It deserves one. I'm no contractor, just a home owner. I purchased this Bit to be attached to my Bosch Bulldog SDS Hammer Drill. My job at hand is to take down a block wall fence, re-use what i can salvage and re-do the Fence from ground up. Each block is 6X8X16 applied with mortar mix cement.

As far as this Bit is concern, it performed as advertised with no problems at all. I was carving up cement right out of the blocks like carving turkey. I was able to Break the blocks right out of the cement joints with no problem. The Tip is somewhat sharp but did not dull. The 8 Inch length with 1 1/2" Tip is perfect.I then used the tip to hammer out any existing cement that was on the block so i can re-use them. Its perfect when your hammering out edges with this bit. Definitely beats a hammer and a chisel. If you want to seperate bricks/blocks from cement. This will do the job.

I can't comment for other applications since this is all i used it for. I did use this for over 100 blocks including hammering out the stuck cement on each block.

I would recommend. As far as durability, well with the job i finished, not a bent on the shaft or nick on the teeth when completed.
