Product Description
Milwaukee Scaling Chisel 1-1/2 in. — 3/4 in. Hex Shank
Model Number: 48-62-2040
The Milwaukee 48-62-2040 is a 1-1/2 in. Scaling Chisel with a 3/4 in. hex shank for use with professional electric chipping hammers and demolition tools equipped with a 3/4 in. hex tool holder — a wide flat scaling chisel for removing weld spatter from structural steel, mill scale from fabricated steel surfaces, concrete form overflow, mortar seepage from masonry, and other surface contaminants requiring mechanical impact removal. The 1-1/2 in. blade width provides a substantial coverage area per hammer strike, sweeping across steel and masonry surfaces more efficiently than narrower chisel profiles while remaining manageable for controlled work on complex structural geometries and in areas where clearance limits access. Milwaukee drop-forges this chisel from high-grade steel with heat-treated working areas for the hardness and toughness needed to maintain blade geometry through sustained repetitive impact work without premature deformation or edge rounding at the blade face.
The 3/4 in. hex shank is the standard tool shank for professional electric chipping hammers — the hex cross-section provides positive anti-rotation locking in the hammer's tool holder that prevents the chisel from spinning in the chuck under the lateral forces generated by the scaling blade's broad surface contact during overhead and inclined work on structural steel. Electric chipping hammer-driven scaling with this chisel delivers production-pace surface preparation coverage for weld spatter removal prior to inspection, mill scale removal prior to painting or coating, and concrete removal around rebars and form faces that is substantially faster than manual hand scaling. The heat-treated work area provides extended service life versus standard-quality scaling chisels, maintaining effective cleaning action through sustained production use in commercial fabrication and structural maintenance work.
Available in a wider 2 in. version (48-62-3025) for maximum coverage on large-area applications — see Milwaukee's complete hex-shank and SDS Max scaling chisel lineup for all available widths and shank configurations.
