Rebit stone tools

Rebit is the product name for carbide tools for the stone industry manufactured in Ockelbo, Sweden. The factory was founded in 1945, and production of stone tools started in 1948. The name Rebit was adopted in 1977, and the business later belonged to Fagersta/Secoroc, Atlas Copco and Epiroc Drilling Tools before becoming part of the Norwegian Monark group in 2019. According to the manufacturer, the carbide has been developed in close cooperation with professionals in the stone industry to have exactly the properties required for working stone, primarily granite.

The range covers most operations in stone working:

• Rough dressing and shaping by hand: pitching tools, bevel pitching tools, tracing chisels, hand chisels and picking chisels in widths from 9 to 50 mm
• Detail work and surface finishing: engraving chisels, point chisels, dressing hammers and bush hammers
• Machine use: grooving chisels, cross punches, cross chisels, tooth chisels, broad chisels and bush hammers with shanks that fit Rebit's own BHV hammers as well as Frölich-Klupfel, Pellegrini, Böhler and Atlas Copco RRD
• In addition: plug-hole drills, plug and feather sets, Portuguese hammer and stone setter's hammer

Rebit's BHV hammers are pneumatic hammers in four sizes built on the same principle:

• BHV 12 and BHV 16: intended for finer work and lettering
• BHV 26: a powerful hammer for coarser dressing
• BHV 30: made for rough levelling and dressing of larger surfaces, and should be mounted on a stand with an arm

The manufacturer states that the range can be adapted to special requirements.
