Footprint 1230 Masons Pitcher - 2 ½ (64mm) / Guarded (1231)

The Footprint 1230 Masons Pitcher is a specialised pitching chisel for professional masons and serious DIYers who dress stone as they work. Its one-sided bevel and sideways-swing design let you pare stone with precise control, right on the job site. Blade Type: Single-bevelled edge on one side allows precise dressing and a controlled sideways strike. Material and Toughness: Forged from high-carbon steel; the blade is hardened and tempered for long-lasting edge retention. Bevel and Edge Design: Bevelled edge on one side enables consistent material removal while keeping the opposite face intact. Hexagonal Shaft: Hexagonal shaft helps prevent rolling and provides a secure grip in challenging masonry work. Sharpening: Re-sharpenable blade to maintain a keen edge without replacing the tool. Model: Footprint 1230 Masons Pitcher – purpose-built tool for stone dressing on faced blocks. Designed to meet the real demands of stone dressing, this pitcher-style chisel helps you achieve clean, flat faces and refined edges with fewer hits. The sideways-swing capability and single-bevelled edge enable precise material removal, reducing over-cutting and the need for rework. The robust carbon-steel blade, hardened and tempered for durability, stays sharp longer and can be restored to an acute edge when required. Ideal for masons working on brick-and-block projects, heritage restoration, or ambitious DIY stonework, it pairs well with other chisels and dressing tools, and its compact form makes it easy to carry on-site. To keep performance high, wipe clean after use and lightly oil the blade to resist rust.
