5/8-11 Arbor Crack Chaser Blade For Cured Concrete, Asphalt Repair Or Joint Widening (0.5" Width) Review

This tool is amazing. It grinds out cracks in cement slabs very quickly and efficiently. Needless to say, grinding cement is a VERY dusty business, so take appropriate precautions, especially if you're grinding indoors. We put up plastic sheeting around the entire area we were grinding, from ceiling to floor, hand-held a shop-vac with a hepa filter behind the grinding wheel, and wore a high quality 3M P-95 mask & face shield. The result was a nice v-shaped groove that made it easy to fill and…

Back pool deck had numerous cracks. Watched Youtube videos to find out how to repair concrete cracks prior to painting. I purchased an angle grinder, goggles and paper dust cover, as I knew there would be a lot of dust. The grinding wheel is tapered and easily followed even small hairline cracks. I wanted to open the cracks wide enough to provide room for quick set concrete fill. This grinder wheel needed no pressure to open the cracks to a tapered width of about 1/4" and a depth of about 3/8".

I am extremely happy with this crack chaser as it works great and it is very easy to use. It quickly and easily cuts through the cement, some have said like a hot knife through butter. Although, I paid almost $50 to get this product I think it's worth every penny as I ground out a number of cracks in my garage and it still isn't even slowing down and it's still very durable. If I ever needed another one I would buy this exact same one again but I don't think I'm ever going to need another one…

This is the first review I have ever left. This product is amazing. Cuts through concrete like a hot knife through butter. Follows the cracks easily making the job of filling them a breeze. Used it on approx 150' of cracks and still looks like new. Highly recommend this if you are doing concrete crap repairs.

This crack chaser is awesome. It cuts through the concrete like butter. Unfortunately, it only lasted one day of light use. The center ring detached from the disc, making it useless since it just spins. Back it goes! I'll try the threaded version.

I was unable to purchase this item from my normal suppliers and was told it was going to be several weeks due to supply chain issues. Looked on Best Buy, found it right away, and received it the next day. This crack chaser is a top notch product, and has exceeded my expectations.

Our 1951 driveway concrete slab had settled and cracked over the years and I purchased the 4.5-inch diameter/0.5-inch wide crack chaser wheel for my angle grinder. The crack chaser wheel worked very well in opening up the existing cracks prior to installation of a self-leveling polyurethane product. I utilized the crack chaser wheel on 75-lineal feet of cracks and it appears to have experienced little wear and tear. The wheel is well made and its integral nut for removal from grinder spindle is

This blade allowed me to zip through 100-200 ft of cracks in just a few hours and the blade did not show any indication of getting dull.

A few years ago I had a concrete driveway poured at my house. The concrete eventually had over 100 feet of cracks. The crack chaser blade lasted the entire job and am still using it on another job.

This concert crack chaser worked great and now my driveway cracks are fixed thanks to this tool. Very rugged and solid. Glad I purchased it.

This blade worked great. My wife and I used it to help repair cracks in our garage floor. We aren't the greatest when it comes to household repairs but this blade made our job so much easier. My wife was really amazed how quickly we got done. Super impressed!

I was chasing/widening cracks in my concrete garage floor in order to get a repair product to fix the crack's . This Wheel worked Fantastic when used on a High Speed Grinding tool . The product worked 100 % for my application and worth every penny .I recommend using safety glasses and a mask as this wheel enlarges smaller cracks in concrete FAST combined with the correct tool.

This was my first purchase of a concrete crack chaser. I bought it because the concrete repair companies were too busy to fix my driveway. So I decided to repair the driveway myself. Attached easily to my Dewalt grinder and made easy work opening up cracks for caulking. Highly recommend the product.

I just received it and by the looks of it, I think it will do the job just fine, but I am a little concerned about the wielding area that I have highlighted in the picture. I will update later if it breaks apart.

Easily allowed me to wide out down cracks on my patio so that I could fill cracks with self-leveling sealant. The 5/8" arbor fit my angle grinder easily.

Had vertical crack in foundation (stemwall). Crack was below grade so I had to dig out an area for grinder access, not much room. Crack chaser blade was easy to control and I was able to grind the 8 inch crack in about a minute. No kickback. I made sure all body parts were clear of the blade and of the kickback path before starting. No problems and much quicker than I expected. Lots of dust.

This blade works well for cleaning and reshaping existing expansion joints and for cutting new joints. If you use water it'll help control dust and for your safety, wear a mask and gloves.
