Product Information

Full details

This Draper Brick Bolster is designed for builders and masonry professionals who need to cut bricks and composite blocks accurately and safely. Its key benefit is the integrated hand guard, providing impact absorption and protection. A potential consideration is its specific size (225 x 75mm), which may not be suitable for all tasks. Features include ground cutting edges for efficient material removal and a robust octagonal shank for durability.

Troubleshooting

Bolster is not cutting cleanly.

Hand guard feels loose or damaged.

Inspect the hand guard for cracks or separation. If damaged, cease using the tool immediately and consider replacement. Do not attempt to repair the hand guard.

Excessive vibration during use.

Ensure you are holding the tool firmly and using the hand guard as intended. Make sure the striking surface is clean. Use controlled, deliberate strikes rather than forceful, erratic ones.
