I've got a really narrow cold chisel which I am using to remove the mortar between my bricks prior to repointing but some of the bricks are really close and I need something narrower - about 4 to 5 mm wide.
Does anyone know where I could get one as I've so far failed in my search.
Plugging chisel? You could grind it thinner if needed.
Sounds like you need what we used to call a joint chisel, something like this;
These do a nice job:
I had the same problem and used an old screwdriver. Mind you, the stuff I was removing was pretty soft.
This has got to be a job for an angle grinder.

How about calling this bloke?
Thanks for the responses.
I'm not so keen on using an angle grinder - not least because they terrify me - but also because I'm planning to do a bit at a time.
The Screwfix plugging chisel is what I already have and it's too wide (although Screwfix don't actually say how wide it is!)
The other Screwfix item looks interesting but I'd need an SDS drill.
I think I may end up grinding down the one I have
What they call a win win situation ;-) (you know you want one!)
The sheds usually stock them too - mine came from IIRC Wicks, and is a 'bare' one, so not the same as the Screwfix one.
=========================================
Look for the smallest of the three items here:
Cic.
Given a choice between swinging a hammer for hours or holding an SDS drill for less time I know which I'd go for.
Yep, that's right the hammer driven by pneumatics...
How about tooledup.com:
They have two others from Draper but they don't give the width and the only difference between then that I can see is the price.
Not so sure. Most which need re-pointing will have lime mortar. And the very worst thing to do is to rake that out too deep.
