A mallet headed scutch chisel has a mallet head for use with nylon/wooden mallets. It is shaped this way to spread the blow over a greater surface area which minimises the damage to the mallet. The pneumatic scutch chisel is simply pushed into the SDS plus drill to attach it, and then pushed down and out to release it.

The mallet headed scutch chisel is different to the hammer headed because the shank isn’t hardened. This means it will fracture or chip if it is hit with a hammer, hence why a mallet is more suitable. A hammer headed scutch chisel is the most common type of scutch chisel available. It has a flat head and is for use with hammers. Lubrication must be re-applied before re-using. Products can fail on the shank due to temperature build up of 200°C. Prior to using chisel, please ensure your machine has the 'chisel only' function as they are designed to be used on this function only

Specification

If the chisel shank has not been hardened, a hammer will splinter the chisel with the force exerted. If it has been hardened, the shank will bend slightly rather than splinter and break. A pneumatic scutch chisel has an added length at one end to enable attachment to an SDS plus drill. SDS Plus shanks should be greased prior to and during use. This reduces heat build-up which reduces wear on the chisel and on the machine Misuse of the product will decrease the maximum time usage significantly. Shank failure due to temperature build up is not warranted. Prior to using chisels, please ensure your machine has the ‘chisel only’ function as they are designed to be used on this function only.
