FAQs
Can these be used with any scutch hammer?
They are compatible with most standard scutch holders, provided the holder is designed to accommodate a 38mm width comb.
How do I know if my holder is the right size?
Measure the internal channel of your scutch comb holder; it should match the 38mm width of the comb exactly for a secure fit.
Are these combs resharpenable?
Generally, these are considered consumable tools and should be replaced when the teeth become too dull to perform effectively.
What materials can I work on with these?
These are intended for use on stone, brick, and mortar surfaces commonly found in masonry and construction projects.
Do I need any special maintenance for these combs?
Keep them clean and dry. A light spray of machine oil can prevent rust if they are stored in damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Comb wobbles inside the holder
Check the set screws or retaining mechanism on the holder and tighten until the comb is immobile.
Comb teeth are wearing down rapidly
Ensure you are using the comb for masonry and brickwork only; avoid striking metal or extremely hard reinforced concrete.
Comb does not fit the holder
Verify that your holder is designed for 38mm width combs; if the holder is too small or large, the comb will not seat securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Faithfull Scutch Comb, slide the comb into your designated scutch comb holder or hammer housing, ensuring it is seated firmly against the retaining pins or screws. Always verify that your tool's housing is tightened properly before beginning work. Because these components are subjected to high-impact stress, inspect the comb teeth after every project for signs of wear or bending. Store the combs in a dry tool box to prevent rust and keep the teeth sharp. If you notice the comb wobbling within the holder, stop immediately and re-tighten the securing mechanism to prevent the tool from falling out or causing an injury.
