FAQs
What is the primary use for this chisel?
The Magnusson 14mm Concrete Chisel is designed for breaking apart concrete, brick, stone, and other masonry materials, as well as for tasks like removing tiles and stubborn adhesives.
What kind of hammer should I use with this chisel?
A ball-peen hammer or an engineer's hammer is typically suitable for striking the chisel's head. Ensure the hammer is of appropriate weight for the task.
Can this chisel be used with a power hammer or rotary hammer?
No, this chisel is designed for manual striking with a hand hammer. It is not compatible with powered demolition tools.
How do I maintain the chisel's sharpness?
The chisel's tip can be resharpened using a grinding wheel or a metal file. Periodically check the sharpness and resharpen as needed for optimal performance.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the specific warranty information provided at the point of purchase or contact Magnusson customer support for details on warranty coverage.
Is the 14mm width suitable for all concrete breaking jobs?
The 14mm width is ideal for controlled chipping and breaking specific sections. For large-scale demolition, a wider chisel or a powered tool might be more efficient.
How should I store the chisel to prevent damage?
Store the chisel in a dry location, ideally in a tool roll, case, or toolbox to protect it from moisture and impact damage.
Troubleshooting
Chisel not breaking material effectively
Ensure you are striking the chisel squarely with the hammer. Check if the tip is dull and needs resharpening. Verify the material being worked on is suitable (concrete, masonry).
Chisel tip chipping or deforming
This may indicate hitting a very hard inclusion (like rebar) or using excessive force. Allow the chisel to do the work; do not force it. If chipping is consistent, the steel may be compromised.
Rust forming on the chisel
Clean the chisel thoroughly and dry it completely. Apply a light coating of oil (e.g., WD-40 or mineral oil) to protect the steel. Store in a dry environment.
Pros and Cons

- Efficient material removal due to hardened tip.
- Reliable performance with consistent energy transfer.
- Suitable for precise demolition tasks.
Cons
- 14mm width may be too narrow for large-scale demolition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: No specific setup is required. The Magnusson 14mm Concrete Chisel is ready for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure you have a suitable hammer (e.g., a ball-peen or engineer's hammer) for striking.
Compatibility: This chisel is designed for use with manual striking tools. It is compatible with most common hammer types. It is intended for use on concrete, brick, stone, and other masonry materials. Avoid using on hardened steel or metals that could damage the cutting edge.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the chisel to remove debris. A wire brush can be effective for stubborn material.
