Bricklaying Tools

Brick Bolster

A brick bolster is used for cutting or shaping bricks and other masonry materials with precision. It features a wide, flat blade that allows the user to make clean cuts or splits in bricks by striking it with a hammer. This tool is essential in construction, masonry work, and renovations, helping to create smooth, accurate edges or breaks in bricks, tiles, or stones without causing excessive damage to the material.

Gauging Trowels

Gauging trowels are used for mixing, applying, and shaping small amounts of mortar, plaster, or other materials in construction and masonry work. Their pointed, rounded blade is ideal for precise application in tight spaces or for patching and repair tasks. Gauging trowels are particularly useful for detailed work, such as filling gaps or applying mortar in small areas, where larger tools would be less effective. They help ensure accurate application and smooth finishes in plastering and masonry jobs.
