DEWALT Diamond Blade Review

The DEWALT Diamond Blade, Tuck Point is designed with an extended performance diamond matrix that gives 350 times the life of conventional abrasives. The blades are laser welded with heat-treated steel bodies, providing long-lasting durability. The cobalt-laden large diamond segments make it ideal for use in various product applications.

This blade is perfect for removing mortar between bricks and concrete blocks. It can be used on vertical surfaces, but it's a bit trickier without damaging the next brick or block. However, the blade is still better than using a chisel and hammer overall. There's less damage to the brick or concrete blocks. In fact, it's almost impossible to chisel out some mortar. The blade cuts through the brick quickly without having to replace grinding wheels, as it does not wear out so fast.

Despite the excellent performance of this blade, it creates so much dust that users need to take extra precautions when using it. It produces hazardous silica-laden dust, so it's essential to equip yourself with proper safety gear such as a N95 mask, non-vented safety goggles, and impact face shield. Long sleeve heavy work shirts, long pants, shoes/socks with no exposed skin, or even full face ventilators when possible are also recommended. People are using it to repair external walls or on a large task like removing mortar from an entire front porch or larger surface area.

This blade is perfect for professionals or DIY enthusiasts who need to remove mortar quickly and efficiently. It's a bit pricey compared to other diamond tuck point blades in the market, but its durability and strength make it worth the investment.
