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.

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.
