Looking for narrow cold chisel to remove pointing
I've got a really narrow cold chisel which I am using to remove the
mortar between my bricks prior to repointing but some of the bricks are really close and I need something narrower - about 4 to 5 mm wide. Does anyone know where I could get one as I've so far failed in my search. |

You could grind it thinner if needed. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/54385/...ith-Guard-10-5 -- *If you can't see my mirrors, I'm doing my hair* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Sounds like you need what we used to call a joint chisel, something like this; http://www.screwfix.com/prods/54385/...th-Guard-10-5# Wavey Dave |

How about calling this bloke?http://gme.jp/arch/images/angle.jpg I think Angle Grinder Man specialises in wheel clamps not pointing! Thanks for the responses. I'm not so keen on using an angle grinder - not least because they terrify me - but also because I'm planning to do a bit at a time. The Screwfix plugging chisel is what I already have and it's too wide (although Screwfix don't actually say how wide it is!) The other Screwfix item looks interesting but I'd need an SDS drill. I think I may end up grinding down the one I have |

The sheds usually stock them too - mine came from IIRC Wicks, and is a 'bare' one, so not the same as the Screwfix one. -- *And don't start a sentence with a conjunction * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

I tend to use it at an angle driving along a mortar course going deeper into the course as it progresses.

They have two others from Draper but they don't give the width and the only difference between then that I can see is the price. -- Cheers Dave. |

And the very worst thing to do is to rake that out too deep. -- *A fool and his money can throw one hell of a party. Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
