moil point

A solid bar of casehardened steel, pointed at one end, with a shank and upset collar at the other. The moil point, hammered into rock or concrete, produces a small hole that gradually deepens and widens until the sides of the point are in full contact with the rock. The effect is then that of wedging, similar to plug-and-feathering.
