Tile removal is a two-step job, and this is the bit for step one. A 3-inch wide chisel slides under the tile and pops pieces off the slab rather than pulverizing them, which means less dust, less cleanup, and far less chance of tearing up concrete you plan to reuse. It is a General Equipment demolition accessory on the standard 1-1/8 inch hex by 6 inch shank.
Flooring-removal crews, remodeling contractors, facilities maintenance shops and rental yards are the usual buyers. Experienced crews reach for a chisel in this width for tile and for sidewalk-thickness pads, then switch to a wide scraper blade for the thinset layer underneath. On a lighter 45 lb class hammer a 1-inch chisel feels slow, and the extra width here is what recovers the pace.
The same width is also what makes it the practical choice for cutting a line in asphalt, where you want the blade to travel rather than dig. Keep the tip riding in the surface layer instead of driving it deep, and the bit does the work the hammer is paying for.

Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my hammer?
It fits any breaker that accepts a 1-1/8 inch hex by 6 inch shank, the standard across the 35 to 90 lb class. Brands including Bosch, DeWalt, Hilti, Hitachi and Makita build hammers in that class, but retention style varies, so confirm the shank spec on your hammer.
Will it take thinset off without chewing up the concrete?
It will remove the tile and much of the bed, and the wide edge is gentler on the slab than a narrow chisel. For a clean thinset removal General Equipment makes a dedicated scraper blade holder and stripper blades, which are the right tools for that second pass.
1 inch or 3 inch for my job?
Pick 3 inch for tile, flooring, asphalt and sidewalk-thickness pads where coverage per blow wins. Pick 1 inch for thick or reinforced concrete and precise cuts, where a narrow edge penetrates faster and is less likely to stall.
Does it work in a Rip-R-Stripper cart?
Yes. General Equipment lists it as an accessory for the CTS10 and CTS12 Rip-R-Stripper floor-covering stripper carts in addition to the M102 BittyBreaker.
Can the chisel be resharpened?
Demolition chisels in this class are commonly dressed on a grinder to restore the edge. Keep the original geometry and avoid overheating the steel, which softens the tip.
