Urbanite Design-Build Weekend
Reclaim an old patio or driveway by breaking it into uniform pavers and stepping stones. Use the bull point to start fractures and the flat self-sharpening chisel to shape consistent blocks. Lay them as a mosaic patio, fire pit ring, or raised bed walls. The cordless 60V MAX platform lets you work anywhere without generators, and Active Vibration Control helps you keep going longer. Pair with the DWH052 attachment and DCV585 dust extractor for cleaner, neighbor-friendly work.
Raw Concrete Sculpture Garden
Turn reclaimed concrete blocks into brutalist planters, seating, and abstract sculptures. Rough out forms with the bull point, then texture and flatten faces with the scaling and flat chisels. The 40 J impact energy handles heavy shaping, while the enhanced tool holder makes chisel swaps and removal easier. Use Wireless Tool Control to auto-activate a compatible dust extractor when chiseling for a tidier creative space.
Backyard Terracing and Stone Steps
