3368 https://substratetechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/hand-held-crack-chaser.webp

This 5″ hand-held crack chaser is the tool for routing out and cleaning cracks and joints in concrete before you fill and repair them. Powered by a strong 13.5-amp motor, it cuts a clean, consistent channel so your repair material bonds properly and lasts. Compact and hand-held, it gets into the spots a walk-behind saw can’t.

Call for pricing and availability, or request a quote — you’ll talk to a real surface-prep expert, not a call center — fast answers and real recommendations.


What It’s For

  • Chasing and routing out cracks in concrete before repair
  • Cleaning out and widening cracks and joints so filler bonds
  • Hand-held control for detail work and tight spots
  • A 13.5-amp motor for strong, consistent cutting
  • Uses 5″ crack-chasing blades

Why Grout a Crack First?

Filling a crack without chasing it usually fails — the repair material won’t grab the tight, dirty crack and pops back out. Routing the crack open with a crack chaser gives you a clean, V- or U-shaped channel that the filler can key into, so the repair holds. It’s the difference between a fix that lasts and one you redo next season.


Hand-Held vs. Walk-Behind

  • 5″ Hand-Held Crack Chaser (this tool) — for detail work, tight spots, and following cracks by hand
  • CC-100 Walk-Behind Crack Chasing Saw — for chasing long cracks across larger floor areas, standing up

Many crews keep both. Call us and we’ll set you up.
