Chisels for all your tasks
FlatPoint Chisels
Our FlatPoint chisels let you breach and break with the same chisel. Because you get the control of a flat chisel with the speed of a pointed chisel, there's no need to change chisels mid-job.
Their tips, ribs, and sides create help create cracks fast. The straight form and dust channels minimize jamming. And the ultra-hardened working profile is designed to keep its shape so you don't need to resharpen.
BullPoint Chisels
Our bull point chisels have an extra sharp tip for faster wall chipping and surface removal. They are also built ultra robust for rebar exposure work while dust channels help minimize jamming.
When the tip wears, simply resharpen with and angle grinder on site and keep working with virtually no performance loss.
Scaling Chisels
Need efficient concrete surface removal? Our Ultimate scaling chisels are built for scaling, removing excess concrete or seepage, and floor or wall channeling — with a polygon profile that helps keep the working edge flat for consistent results and long life.
Chisels for special applications
For less frequent jobs that still need to be done right, our large portfolio of Premium chisels is designed to make you most productive in your days job.
Choose chisels for tasks from roughening and smoothing to scrapping, rod driving and more.

Proper care helps you get the most value for money from your chisels.
Apart from sharpening (see below), technique is also important:
Let the tool do the work. Too much force increases wear without improving speed.
Do not use the chisel as a lever. This can bend or break the shank.
Apply steady, controlled pressure.
Rotate the chisel in the chuck when possible to ensure even wear.
Connection end maintenance
We recommend always cleaning and greasing the connection end before inserting your chisel into the tool. This reduces heat and friction inside the chuck, helping to extend both the lifespan of the chisel and the tool.
The answer depends on the chisel type — because different chisels are designed to keep performance in different ways:
Ultimate FlatPoint chisels: No resharpening is needed and we don’t recommend it. With proper penetration (min. 5 cm), the chisel keeps its functional working profile during use. The tip may look slightly dull after 1–2 hours — that’s normal. Polygon chisels break efficiently using their flanks/working profile, not a razor tip. Resharpening can reduce steel hardness and lead to higher wear, lower performance and shorter lifetime.
Ultimate BullPoint chisels: Can be resharpened on site with an angle grinder or belt grinder, with virtually no loss of performance (air‑hardened work profile).
Standard chisels: Can be resharpened by a professional (e.g., blacksmith) using proper forging and tempering. Typically 2–3 resharpenings before end of life. For details, see the applicable chisel sharpening guideline. [link to Guideline when available]
Inductive hardening is a method to change the microstructure and thus achieve specific hardness values in the different areas of the chisel. This enables proper robustness and avoids early breakages as well as offering highest wear resistance in the working zone and at the connection end. These areas are built to be very wear‑resistant, while the inside of the chisel has a softer core and is designed to stay more flexible.
That balance matters. A hard surface helps slow down wear and mushrooming, while a softer core helps the chisel handle repeated impacts without cracking or snapping. The goal is a chisel that holds its shape under load without becoming brittle.
The connection end is where all the impact energy from the tool enters the chisel. Hilti chisels use hardened, slightly convex connection ends to help transfer that energy efficiently into the chisel body.
This shape also helps spread loads more evenly inside the tool chuck. That reduces local wear and helps protect the interface between tool and insert, which supports more consistent performance over time.
The focus is on both extending chisel life and keeping performance stable across the whole tool‑and‑insert setup.
Yes, but only with the right type of hammer drill.
Rotary (combi) hammers with a chisel‑only mode can be used for light chiseling tasks such as surface removal, small channels, or breaking thin concrete. When used with the correct SDS chisel, they offer good control for precise work.
For heavier chiseling, breaching, or continuous demolition, we recommend using a dedicated demolition hammer.
No. BullPoint chisels are designed for surface chipping and rebar exposure, where concrete is removed layer by layer. Their straight, sharp tip can be resharpened on site (e.g. with an angle or belt grinder) and is built to stand up to frequent contact with rebar. FlatPoint (polygon) chisels, by contrast, are designed for breaching — driven into concrete to help create cracks quickly for fast, controlled breaking.
Notes
*Based on internal testing with:
TE 1000-22 TE-S cordless demolition hammer, B290-22 battery and TE-SX FP FlatPoint chisel. Concrete slabs used in tests were non-reinforced C30/37 GK32 with a size of 800 × 500 × 200mm. Note that jobsite conditions, such as temperature, humidity, dust levels, and materials being worked on, can significantly affect the speed of work and the maximum amount of work that can be carried out on one battery charge.
