SDS Mortar Raking Chisel - Bed Joint Removal for Crack Stitching and Masonry Beaming

The Strucsol SDS Mortar Raking Chisel is an essential tool for masonry repair contractors carrying out crack stitch repairs and masonry beaming. It attaches to any standard SDS Plus drill and removes mortar from bed joints quickly and effectively - particularly in locations where a chasing machine or angle grinder simply cannot reach.

Durable and long-lasting, this chisel is built for site use. As we often say: you're more likely to lose it than wear it out.

Applications

• Raking out bed joints prior to crack stitch helical bar installation
• Preparing bed joints for masonry beaming and window lintel repairs
• Removing mortar in corners where a chasing machine or grinder cannot access
• Raking joints behind downpipes, cables, and other obstructions
• Cutting out brick in cavity wall environments
• Removing damaged bricks when restoring spalled or deteriorated masonry

Why It's Useful for Crack Stitching

Crack stitch repairs require a clean, clear bed joint to accept the bonding grout and helical bar. In tight spots - corners, reveals, areas behind pipework - this SDS chisel is often the only practical way to prepare the joint without damaging surrounding brickwork. It is a standard part of the Strucsol crack stitching toolkit.

Key Features

• SDS Plus fitting - compatible with all standard SDS drills
• Removes mortar bed joints in restricted and awkward locations
• Suitable for crack stitch repair preparation and masonry beaming
• Durable construction - built for repeated site use

Important Note

SDS chisels are not the most refined tool - they can cause surface damage to the brick face if used without care. Always work methodically and protect exposed brick faces where possible.
