SDS Max Point Chisel – 400mm

This 400mm SDS Max point chisel is built for the kind of work that demands real impact — breaking out concrete floors, splitting blockwork, busting through hard mortar joints, and getting into tight spots where a flat chisel would skid straight off. The point concentrates all the hammer energy into a single focused area, which is exactly what you want when the material isn’t giving way easily. If you’ve got an SDS Max rotary hammer and a stubborn slab, this is what you reach for.

SDS Max is the heavy-duty end of the SDS system. The shank is larger than SDS Plus, with a different locking mechanism designed for bigger, more powerful machines. That means more energy transfer per blow and less wasted vibration. The 400mm length gives you useful reach without the tool becoming unwieldy — long enough to work at angle into a wall chase, short enough to keep decent control when you’re breaking out a section of floor.

Where a 400mm SDS Max Point Chisel Earns Its Keep

Demolition contractors, groundworkers, and groundwork gangs doing foundation prep will use this regularly. It’s also a standard tool for anyone cutting service channels through concrete or dense blockwork. Chasing walls for pipework and cabling, breaking up old concrete pads, splitting hard stone — these are all jobs where the point chisel does the work that nothing else quite manages the same way.

The point geometry isn’t just about concentration of force. It also helps with directional work. You can use it to crack along a line, start a break point, or work progressively through a section without shattering the surrounding material more than needed. Useful when you’re working near existing structure you’d rather not disturb.

At this price, it makes sense to have a spare on site. Chisels do wear, especially on very hard aggregate concrete, and swapping out mid-job is quicker than sharpening on the day. Compatible with all SDS Max machines from the major brands.
