Product Information
Full details
The Faithfull Line Blocks & Line is an essential toolset for bricklayers, stonemasons, and DIY enthusiasts aiming to achieve perfectly straight and level masonry courses. These L-shaped blocks provide a reliable anchor for builders' lines, helping to maintain consistency across long walls while offering integrated storage for convenience. While highly durable for standard construction tasks, users should note that the included 18-metre line is optimized for specific project lengths and may require supplemental cordage for larger architectural runs.

FAQs
Can I replace the provided line with a different one?
Yes, the blocks are designed to hold most standard masonry lines if you prefer a different color or a longer length.
Are these suitable for professional bricklaying?
Yes, they are designed to be robust enough for daily use on professional construction sites.
What is the total length of the included line?
The set includes an 18-metre length of high-visibility orange polyethylene line.
How do I prevent the blocks from slipping?
Ensure the corner of the brickwork is clean and free from loose debris or wet mortar before placing the blocks.
Is the material resistant to weather?
The polyethylene line is resistant to rot and moisture, and the blocks are made from durable materials suitable for outdoor use.
Troubleshooting
The line keeps sagging while working.
Ensure the line is wound tightly enough around the block tension points. If the line has stretched, re-tie it or pull more line through the mechanism to reset the tension.
Line becomes tangled during storage.
Always wind the line neatly and evenly across the built-in storage area, ensuring no loops cross over each other before storing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures consistent, level, and straight brick courses
- Compact, all-in-one storage system prevents line tangling
- High-visibility orange line is easy to spot on busy sites
- Lightweight yet robust build quality
- Easy to adjust tension during active masonry work
Cons
- 18-metre length may be insufficient for very long garden walls
- Plastic material can wear down if struck repeatedly with a heavy trowel
- Requires proper winding technique to avoid tangles during storage
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the system, unspool the desired length of the orange line from the block storage cavity. Loop the line firmly around the block's hook or locking mechanism. Ensure the tension is sufficient to prevent the line from sagging in the middle of the wall, but avoid over-stretching, which can lead to inaccuracies.
For maintenance, wipe the blocks clean of mortar and dust after every use; hardened mortar can interfere with the fit against brick corners. If the line becomes frayed or worn, it can be replaced with any standard brick line of similar diameter. Store the blocks in a dry, cool place to ensure the longevity of the line and the structural integrity of the plastic blocks.
