A pointed chisel is a hand tool made of hardened steel with a sharp, tapered point at one end. It is designed to concentrate force on a small area, making it ideal for breaking, chipping, or piercing hard materials. Pointed chisels are commonly used with a hammer or mallet and are widely used in construction, masonry, and metalworking.

• Breaking concrete and masonry – Used to crack or break concrete, bricks, and stone.
• Chipping stone – Helps remove excess material during stone carving or shaping.
• Starting holes or grooves – Useful for creating initial holes or channels in hard surfaces.
• Demolition work – Assists in controlled demolition of walls, tiles, or plaster.
• Removing mortar – Effective for loosening and removing old mortar between bricks.
• Metalworking applications – Used for cutting or separating metal sheets and rivets (with proper hammering).
