Performance notes
The 12-inch flat alloy steel blade is built for scoring, scraping, and splitting masonry across a wide surface rather than pinpoint chipping. The rubber grip cushions shock on repeated strikes, which is uncommon at this price, and the 12-inch length gives good reach. Pair with a suitable hammer for clean splits.
