Product Description
Milwaukee SDS Max 1-1/4 in. x 12 in. Block Chisel
Model Number: 48-62-4097
The Milwaukee 48-62-4097 is a 1-1/4 in. x 12 in. Block Chisel for SDS Max demolition hammers — a wide flat-blade chisel for chipping, splitting, and removing concrete masonry units (CMU block), concrete brick, and the large-scale masonry demolition work where the wider 1-1/4 in. blade provides more aggressive material splitting and coverage per hammer blow than standard-width flat chisels. The block chisel's wider blade profile concentrates the SDS Max hammer's high impact energy across a wider contact surface that engages more of the CMU block's material cross-section per blow — for block demolition, the wider blade initiates fracture across the block's face more effectively than narrower chisels that must work progressively across the width. At 12 in. overall length, the block chisel provides the standard SDS Max chisel geometry for typical open-access demolition positions in commercial and residential construction.
Milwaukee drop-forges the block chisel from high-grade steel with heat-treated working areas specifically engineered for the higher impact energy levels of SDS Max operation in CMU block demolition work. The wide blade geometry requires the maximum anti-rotation performance that the SDS Max shank provides — the 1-1/4 in. blade width generates more lateral force during chipping than narrower chisel profiles, making the SDS Max shank's positive anti-rotation locking especially important for maintaining the blade's orientation and efficiency during block removal operations. Common applications include CMU block removal in renovation, doorway and opening creation in block walls, and block demolition in interior construction reconfiguration projects.
