Hilka Brick Bolster with Grip - 100mm

A standard brick hammer or a small sledgehammer is typically suitable. The force of the strike is more important than the size of the hammer.

While it can score and break smaller blocks, it is primarily designed for scoring and trimming bricks. For larger concrete demolition, a heavier-duty tool like a sledgehammer or pry bar might be more effective.

Wipe the grip clean with a damp cloth. Inspect it regularly for cracks or tears. If damaged, it may reduce safety and should be considered for replacement.

The 100mm width refers to the blade's edge. This size is generally suitable for scoring and trimming standard building bricks and blocks.

The hexagonal shaft provides a better grip for striking and prevents the tool from rolling away when placed on a flat surface.

The tip is designed to be sharp enough for scoring masonry. It is made from hardened steel for durability, but like any cutting edge, it may require maintenance over time.

Ensure you are striking the bolster head with sufficient force using an appropriate hammer. Re-sharpen or clean the tip if it appears dull or obstructed.

Check that the hammer is securely striking the bolster head. Ensure the brick is stable on a solid surface.

Clean the affected area with a wire brush and apply a light coat of oil to prevent further rust. Store in a dry environment.
