FAQs
What is the primary use of the RHINOGRIP Mortar Spike?
The RHINOGRIP Mortar Spike is primarily used for securing profiles or guides to internal corners in bricklaying, helping to maintain accuracy and alignment.
Can I use this tool with any profile size?
No, this tool is specifically designed for use with profiles that measure 40mm, 50mm, or 50.8mm in width.
Do I need any tools to attach the profile?
No, the integrated RHINOGRIP thumbscrew allows for secure, tool-free attachment of the profile to the clamp.
What material is the tool made from?
The tool is constructed from zinc-plated steel, offering superior corrosion resistance.
Is this tool suitable for external corners?

Where is this product manufactured?

How should I clean and maintain the tool?
Clean off mortar and debris with a damp cloth after each use and store in a dry location to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Thumbscrew is difficult to tighten or loosen.
Check the threads for debris or mortar. Clean the threads thoroughly and try again. If the issue persists, a small amount of lubricant may help.
Spike does not hold securely to the surface.
Ensure the spike is being used on a suitable, firm surface. Check that the spike itself is not damaged. For internal corners, ensure it is braced correctly against both walls.
Profile slips within the clamp.
Ensure the correct profile size is being used and that the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew is tightened as much as possible. Clean both the profile and the inside of the clamp for better grip.
Tool shows signs of rust.
This is typically due to prolonged exposure to moisture. Clean the rusted area with a wire brush and apply a protective coating or store the tool in a dry environment. Minor surface rust on zinc plating is often cosmetic.
