The Footprint Plugging Chisel and Guard is a professional-grade masonry tool designed for removing mortar and cement from between brick and block work. Fully forged from a single piece of carbon steel, this Sheffield-made chisel has been hardened and tempered to deliver exceptional strength and durability for demanding repointing and restoration work. The cutting edge is wider than the blade body and features a centre groove that facilitates rapid debris removal, keeping the work area clear and maintaining efficiency during extended use. A domed head design prevents splintering from repeated hammer strikes, extending tool life and improving safety. The chisel is supplied with a British-made high visibility protective plastic moulded guard. This high-quality hand protector enhances user safety whilst providing improved grip and control during operation, making it ideal for bricklayers, stonemasons and contractors undertaking repointing, restoration or general masonry work.
