The Timco Masonry Bolster with Guard is an essential tool for professional builders, electricians, and DIY enthusiasts requiring a durable solution for demolition and cutting tasks in brickwork, stone, and cement. Engineered for heavy-duty performance, it offers superior strength and hand protection via an integrated ergonomic guard; however, users should note that its heavy-duty design is optimized for high-impact masonry work rather than delicate trimming tasks.

Yes, this bolster is designed for cutting through brick, stone, mortar, and cement.
No, the guard is an integrated feature designed to provide permanent safety and ergonomic grip during use.
It is best paired with a heavy-duty club or lump hammer to provide the necessary force for masonry demolition.
The bolster measures 8 1/2 inches (216mm) in total length.
While the tool has a powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance, it is recommended to store it in a dry location to prolong its service life.
EN9 is a medium carbon steel known for its high strength and wear resistance, making it ideal for heavy-duty hand tools.
Use a metal file or a bench grinder to re-hone the edge. Ensure you do not overheat the metal during grinding to avoid ruining the temper.
Grind the excess mushroomed metal away carefully to restore a flat, safe striking surface, ensuring the steel remains cool during the process.
There is no complex setup required for this tool; it is ready for immediate use out of the packaging. It is compatible with all standard lump and club hammers. To maintain the life of your tool, keep the cutting edge sharp using a grinding wheel or stone, taking care to maintain the original factory bevel angle. After each use, wipe the tool clean to remove concrete dust and moisture. Store the bolster in a dry, cool environment to prevent any premature surface corrosion, even though it is powder-coated.
