I'm not sure. There is nothing heavier than what I use with a 3-pound bag The weight was 6 pounds. It is shaped like a sledgehammer. Around one pound is the most I will spend. This Stanley 16-inch is new to me It cost me $329 over a year ago and I am happy I've found that it works quite well for me with its guard. It is usually rather measured blows that I use to chisel. In my experience, I have only chiseled cured concrete up to four inches thick. The offset handle of a chisel is a feature I have never seen before. To see if you can use a vice grip as an offset handle with a chisel, you might try locking a large set of vice grips onto the chisel. There's no way I can tell if attaching an offset handle to it would damage the structural integrity of the chisel.
To summarize previous comments, this will work as long as there isn't a lot of concrete around the railing. You will have to chip away at the concrete incrementally to gain access to the railing as you work your way to it. It may be best to use a demolition/rotary hammer tool if the concrete is too thick to be cut through easily or efficiently.
Although I have not used this product yet, my past experience with similar products indicates that there will be no issues. A pick hammer will work on hard soil. A SE 8399-S was purchased by me I give it a 11 out of 10. I purchased a rock pick hammer from Amazon for about $14, and I got free shipping if I spent $25 or more. Pick hammers can be found on Amazon or Ebay.

There was some old concrete underneath the driveways of two houses whose foundations were about 10 inches apart. Due to this, it was nearly impossible to lever up the old foundation. Having been able to chip out the areas below the driveways made levering up the old fence posts easier. The steel tends to deform rather than chip under heavy hammering, as other posters have pointed out. I find this to be a good development. It can cause damage to electronic equipment if flying steel chips are produced if the steel is hard and prone to chipping. As a safety feature, I find the softer steel to be worthwhile. If you are using this tool, do not forget to wear safety glasses. The plastic hand protector often slides down when the hammer is hammered hard. Even so, the device can be slotted back in quite easily. I don't mind it a little, but I'm glad it was added. Adding another layer of safety is a great idea. At least twice, it saved my hand from taking glancing blows. The steel tip dulls fairly quickly, but it can be sharpened quickly and easily with a bench grinder or hand file. Another reviewer noted that predrilling holes for this will cause it to last longer. Designed for limited jobs, this is a great tool. In case you are planning on tearing up a large portion of the wall, renting a jack hammer from Home Depot, Lowe's, and many other stores is the best option. The job that looks like it would require a lot of time is completed in a very short amount of time.
We used a pound hammer to split off the top edges of the rocks. It worked great, and even after I chipped the protruding tips off of the yard rocks, the point stayed sharp. When you hit the chisel top with the hammer, the hand guard is there to prevent your hand from being struck. It is sturdy and does what it promises. I've never had a broken hand while using this.
My plan was to destroy a stack of old hard drives that I had on hand. It's safe to assume that no one will be able to read any data from those hard drives after repeatedly beating them into submission. Perhaps I can make a living as an electronics repair person with tools like this.
For the purpose of making a hole in my veneer brick wall, I used it. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that brick would be so hard. It was originally my intention to use a drill to create a 3/4 inch hole, but I soon gave up. This is the product I purchased, and I was satisfied with it!.
As I was removing bad red brick from the front of my home, this was my go-to chisel for crumbling all of the This is a very durable product. There's no sign that it will slow down anytime soon.
My first chisel was not what I would call cheap, but it is fantastic. I used it with a 2 pound hammer on concrete, and it held up quite The price was well worth it.
can't really say much else than if you need a hammering point or don't want to lose your fingers, this is what you'd want. If it was a dollar more, I would certainly be more inclined to get this chisel over the non-protective point chisels. Stanley tools cannot be beaten.
I needed it for what it was supposed to do.
