Product Information

Full details

The Rhinobuild Gable End Profile is a professional-grade masonry tool designed for bricklayers and contractors who require high-precision alignment and repeatable angles on gable end construction. By securing directly to roofing battens, it ensures perfectly consistent brick and blockwork lines; however, users should note it is specifically engineered for use with 50 x 30mm roofing battens, which may limit compatibility with non-standard timber sizes.

FAQs

Can I use this on non-standard timber battens?

The Rhinobuild Gable End Profile is precision-engineered for 50 x 30mm battens; using it on other sizes may result in instability.

What is the distance between the notches?

The profile features precision notches spaced at 75mm centers.

How do I protect the tool from rusting?

Keep the tool clean of mortar and debris, and store it in a dry environment. Periodically wiping it with an oily rag helps prevent surface oxidation.

Does this tool work for both left and right-hand gable ends?

Yes, the versatile design allows for use on either side of the gable end construction.

Is the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew replaceable?

Yes, the 40mm Mini RHINOGRIP thumbscrew is designed for easy manual removal and can be replaced if damaged.

Troubleshooting

Tool slides on the roofing batten

Ensure the batten is exactly 50 x 30mm and tighten the thumbscrew further to increase clamp pressure.

Difficulty threading the thumbscrew

Clean the screw threads with a wire brush and apply a small amount of lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures perfectly consistent angled cuts on brickwork
  • Robust, heavy-duty steel construction built for site longevity
  • Easy installation and removal via the Mini RHINOGRIP thumbscrew
  • Manufactured in Britain with high-quality standards

Cons

  • Specifically designed for 50 x 30mm battens, limiting versatility with other sizes
  • Requires manual adjustment for varying roof pitches
  • Heavy steel construction adds weight to the tool bag

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the profile, slide the unit onto your 50 x 30mm roofing batten until it rests firmly against the plate or ridge. Tighten the 40mm Mini RHINOGRIP thumbscrew until the device is immobile. Always verify the alignment of the notches before laying the first course of bricks.

Regarding care, because the tool is made of high-grade steel, it is recommended to wipe it clean of mortar splashes immediately after use. Although it features a durable finish, applying a light coating of machine oil to the threads of the thumbscrew and any moving parts will prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation on future projects.
