Choosing the Right Vaunt SDS Chisel Bits
Sort the profile to the material first. The wrong chisel just makes a mess and slows the whole job down.
1. Point Chisel for Breaking and Starting
If you need to start a break, concentrate impact into one spot or work into stubborn brick and concrete, go with a vaunt point chisel sds. It is the right choice for opening cracks and attacking hard material before switching to a wider chisel.
2. Flat Chisel for Lifting and Stripping
If the job is tile removal, chasing plaster, lifting render or knocking off mortar, a vaunt flat chisel sds is the one. The wider edge gives you cleaner removal and better control across surfaces.
3. Single Chisel or Set
If you only do one type of work, buy the profile you actually use most. If your week jumps between chasing, strip-out and patch demolition, a vaunt sds chisel set saves going back to the van for the bit you should have brought in first.
4. Match the Shank to the Hammer
Do not assume all SDS fittings are the same. These vaunt sds chisel bits uk listings are for SDS plus type hammers, so check your machine before ordering or the bit will not lock in properly.
Who Uses These on Site?
- Sparkies use vaunt sds chisel bits for chasing walls, opening up back box areas and cleaning out loose masonry before first fix goes in.
- Plumbers and heating engineers keep vaunt chisel attachments handy for pipe routes, bathroom strip-outs and breaking off old tile beds without dragging a larger breaker through the property.
- General builders and refurb crews swear by vaunt sds chisels for knocking off tired render, removing blown plaster and tidying rough openings before the next trade starts.
- Bathroom fitters and kitchen installers reach for a vaunt sds chisel set when they are ripping out finishes, lifting tiles and clearing awkward corners where standard drill bits are no use.
- Maintenance teams use them for patch repairs and small demolition jobs where an SDS drill on hammer only is quicker to grab than heavier demolition kit.
The Basics: Understanding SDS Chisel Bits
These are not drilling bits. They are made for hammer only action, where the tool drives the chisel into the material to break, lift or strip it away.
1. Point Chisels Hit One Spot Hard
A point chisel focuses the blow into a small area. That makes it the right one for starting holes, breaking tough sections and getting into cracks or corners before wider clearing work starts.
2. Flat Chisels Clear Material Faster
A flat chisel spreads the force along an edge, so it is better for lifting tiles, chasing plaster and skimming off loose mortar or render across a wider face.
3. Hammer Only Mode Matters
Run these in the correct hammer setting, not rotary drilling. That gives you cleaner demolition, less wear on the chisel and stops you fighting the tool while it tries to spin where it does not need to.
Useful Extras for Vaunt SDS Chisel Bits
A couple of sensible add-ons save time on site and stop your SDS kit sitting idle halfway through the strip-out.
1. SDS Plus Drill Bits
Keep a set of Vaunt SDS+ Drill Bits nearby so you can drill fixing points, starter holes or relief holes without changing tools completely. It is the obvious pairing when one job needs both drilling and chiselling.
2. Masonry Drill Bits
A pack of Vaunt Masonry Drill Bits covers the lighter drilling work where an SDS hammer would be overkill. Handy for pilot holes, plugs and general snagging after the heavy breaking is done.
3. Matching SDS Attachments
If you are topping up a wider kit, the full Vaunt SDS Bits and Attachments range keeps everything on the same system, which is easier than mixing fittings and finding out on site something does not fit.
Choose the Right Vaunt SDS Chisel Bits for the Job
Pick the chisel profile by the material you need to break or lift.
| Your Job | Category or Type | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Starting breaks in brick, concrete or stubborn masonry | Point chisel | Narrow tip concentrates impact and gets into cracks, corners and hard spots fast. |
| Removing wall tiles, adhesive beds and loose plaster | Flat chisel | Wide cutting edge lifts and strips material across the surface with better control. |
| Chasing out channels for cables or pipework | Flat chisel | Good for opening and tidying runs without ragged overbreak on both sides. |
| General refurb and patch demolition | Chisel set | Gives you both point and flat options so you can switch as the job changes. |
| Small demolition jobs with an SDS plus hammer | Vaunt SDS plus chisels | Designed to fit SDS plus machines for hammer only breaking, lifting and stripping work. |
Common Buying and Usage Mistakes
- Buying the wrong fitting is the big one. Check your hammer takes SDS plus before ordering, otherwise the chisel will not lock in and the job stops before it starts.
- Using a flat chisel for every task slows you down on hard material. Start with a point chisel when you need to break into dense sections, then switch once the material is moving.
- Running chisels in rotary drill mode just adds wear and makes the tool harder to control. Use hammer only so the bit does the job it was made for.
- Expecting an SDS chisel to replace a proper breaker on heavy demolition is asking too much. They are ideal for controlled strip-out and lighter breaking, but big concrete jobs need bigger kit.
- Carrying on with a rounded or battered edge wastes impact energy. Replace worn chisels before they start bouncing off the work and making a simple job drag on.
Point Chisel vs Flat Chisel vs Chisel Set
Point Chisel
Best for starting demolition, attacking tough spots and concentrating the hammer blow into one area. It is the one to grab for hard masonry, concrete edges and opening cracks, but it is slower for stripping broad surfaces.
Flat Chisel
Best for lifting tiles, chasing plaster, knocking off render and cleaning up openings. It covers more surface and leaves a tidier finish than a point, but it is not as effective for breaking into dense material from scratch.
Chisel Set
Best if your work jumps between strip-out, chasing and general demolition. A set gives you the profiles you actually need on mixed jobs, so you are not trying to force one chisel to do everything badly.
Maintenance and Care
Clean the Shank After Use
Wipe dust, plaster and grit off the SDS shank before it goes back in the case. That stops the chuck getting packed with muck and helps the bit seat properly next time.
Check for Mushrooming and Wear
Have a quick look at the working end and the striking area. If the edge is badly rounded or the end is battered out of shape, replace it before it starts working loose or hitting poorly.
Store Them Dry
Do not leave chisels rolling about in a damp van tray. Keep them dry and together so they are ready for use and not covered in surface rust when you need one in a hurry.
Use the Right Tool Setting
Hammer only mode reduces unnecessary twisting and wear. Running the wrong setting just punishes the chisel and the drill for no gain.
Replace Worn Bits Before They Cost You Time
Once a chisel stops biting properly, the tool works harder and progress slows right down. On busy strip-out work, changing a tired bit is cheaper than burning time fighting it.

Vaunt SDS Chisel Bits FAQs
What SDS chisel bits does Vaunt make?
Vaunt makes the core SDS chisel profiles most trades actually use on site, including point chisels and flat chisels, as well as selected sets. That covers the usual strip-out, chasing and light demolition jobs without overcomplicating things.
What chisel profiles are available in Vaunt SDS chisels?
The main profiles are flat and point. Flat chisels are for lifting and stripping across a surface, while point chisels are for starting breaks, working into hard spots and opening up cracks in masonry or concrete.
Are Vaunt SDS chisel bits suitable for demolition work?
Yes, for light to medium demolition they are a solid choice. They are well suited to tile removal, chasing, knocking off render, breaking out plaster and general refurb work, but for full heavy concrete demolition you will still want a bigger breaker.
What SDS hammer drill is compatible with Vaunt SDS chisels?
These are made for SDS plus compatible hammer drills using a hammer only function. Check the fitting on your machine before buying, because SDS plus and SDS max are not interchangeable and the chisel will not fit if the shank is wrong.
Will these cope with tile adhesive and old plaster, or do they blunt straight away?
Yes, that is exactly the sort of work they are for. Old plaster, tile beds and loose render are normal use cases, though like any chisel they will wear faster if you keep battering dense concrete or hidden steel with the same edge all day.
Do I need a point chisel and a flat chisel, or will one do?
If you only do one repeated task, one profile may be enough. On mixed refurb work, having both is the sensible move because the point gets you started and the flat clears up properly once the material is moving.
Can I use these for chasing walls for cables and pipework?
Yes. A flat chisel is especially useful for cleaning out chased channels in plaster, block and light masonry after the initial cuts are made. It is quicker and cleaner than trying to do it all by hand.
Are Vaunt SDS chisel bits just for trade, or fine for home renovations too?
They are fine for both. Trade users will get the value from regular strip-out and chasing work, while home renovators can use them for proper demolition prep without buying something overcomplicated they will never use again.
