How to Choose the Right Sealey Breaker Steel or Chisel
The first check is the breaker fitting or shank system. After that, choose the working end and length to suit concrete breaking, chasing, clay removal or general demolition.
Shank + tip + length
A chisel can be the right shape and still be unusable if the shank does not fit the breaker.
Identify the machine
Use the breaker model or shank specification as your starting point.
Choose the working end
Pick a point for concentrated breaking or a chisel/spade for broader material removal.
Check length
Longer tools improve reach but can be harder to control in some jobs.
Inspect before use
Do not use cracked, mushroomed or badly worn breaker steels.
What should you check before ordering?
Use the selection points below to narrow the range before comparing individual products.
Shank compatibility
Breaker steels are made with different shank profiles for different machines and retaining systems.
- Check the breaker model before ordering.
- Do not modify a shank to force it into a machine.
- Make sure the retaining system engages correctly.
Choosing the working end
The tip geometry affects how the impact is delivered to the workpiece.
- Points concentrate force for breaking hard material.
- Flat or wide chisels remove material across a broader area.
- Clay spades and specialist tools suit specific ground or demolition tasks.
Safe use and wear
Breaker steels operate under repeated heavy impact and should be inspected frequently.
- Wear eye, hearing and hand protection appropriate to the job.
- Stop using tools that show cracking or unsafe deformation.
- Follow the breaker manufacturer guidance for lubrication and tool insertion.

Quick answers before you choose
Can I choose a breaker chisel by width alone?
No. The shank must fit the breaker first; then choose the tip width and length for the task.
What is a point steel used for?
A point concentrates impact into a small area, making it useful for starting breaks in concrete, masonry and similar materials.
When should a breaker steel be replaced?
Replace it if it is cracked, severely worn, bent or has unsafe deformation at the working or struck end.
