What chisel is good for removing tree roots?

Never used it for that but just the straight chisel would work. This one is set at an angle to use on floor tile.

I have used a Bosch SDS Max Hammer Drill with various bits to dig around and expose roots and root balls but the bits typically bounce off the large roots (if they are alive at least). I then used a 6" pruning blade on a reciprocating saw to cut them in two places so I can remove a section of root an have space to continue digging with the SDS-max. If you need to remove a large root ball, alternate using both tools (hammer drill and saw, along with a shovel and pry bar) until it is loose. In terms of what SDS-max attachment to use, I would go with clay spade bit - keep it sharp for best results.

I used one of the included chisel bits to remove ceramic tile from concrete and it worked very well.

Will this tool work well for dismantling a brick wood stove surround - IE electric chisel, or is there a better choice for a guy with no air compressor?

I have used this tool at ton and it works great. It is going to work well on a tree out to about 850 to 900 yds, beyond that you will not get very good readings.

Use a file, if the file gets loaded up wipe it off on a steel bristled wire brush, it'll clear the paint out and you can keep at it. I only use a file to sharpen mine and I have no problem getting it to go through inch thick or slightly larger branches with a single swing. A machete doesn't need a razor edge, it needs a serviceable one that can be resharpened quickly in the field. Most professionals who use machetes regularly keep a file with them just for sharpening it every now and again.

Hello Susan,I would not recommend this tool for that type of tree. That tree is more of a hedge than a typical tree with large limbs. There is also a correct way to prune this type of tree and you should follow that procedure in order to continue to enjoy the beauty and benefits of the tree. I included a website underneath for you. I hope this helps.http://extension.unh.edu/resources/files/Resource000594_Rep616.pdfregardsfrank

I have used it for trimming branches, it worked well, as long as the branches aren't bigger than the blade

I used the Corona AC 8300 Sharpening Tool on my pruning shears and it works well I also used it to straighten and sharpen the Digging Bar edge I even used it once to sharpen a dull food processor blade, you may need to use a file first on the mower blade then finish it with the corona.

The knife may work for this application, but with limited ability since the pommel is not real thick in nature. Tent stakes and light duty hammering may work. However, for cutting, carving, shaving branches, and other woodsman's work this knife excels!

A flat file, belt sander, or grinder for heavy sharpening (full blade or repairing nicks). A whetstone is fine for a quick touch up in the field. The machetespecialists website has a good tutorial.

No you will need a grout removal tool. I use one in my multi tool. They also make them for sawzall. Good luck.

Great product; have sawed everything from tree branches to wandering tree roots. Easy to use!

In my humble opinion, I would say the Schrade SCAXE2L is a fantastic choice for a survival axe. It is very well built with a very comfortable handle, and comes with a fire striker in the handle and sharpening stone. Alas, it can be used as an effective hammer as well.

For clearing saplings of that size you would need Husqvarna's 323R Brush Cutter along with the Scarlett Blade 200-22t which we carry.

Absolutely!!! Used a Bosch chisel bit to remove approximately 800 sq. ft. of futura or chatahoochee river rock from my pool deck. Although the drill bits are supposed to be self sharpening, I used a total of 3 chisel bits to remove all the stone. Good luck.

I'm not that familiar with arborvites, but when i googled it, the trees looked like shaped pointed decorative like trees? This saw will work best on fairly stiff branches. If your trees have small very flexible limbs, i'm afraid the teeth won't grip to cut.

If you mean chisels this would work great. If they have a rounded edge I am not sure what you would use.
