Product Information

Roughneck Gorilla Block Buster Bolster, 230mm (9in)

A bolster designed around the two things that go wrong when you are cutting block by hand: the blow lands badly, or it lands on your hand. The handle is set at 90° to the striking area, so your hand sits well out of the hammer's path, and the striking anvil is a full 30mm — a big enough target that you are not aiming at a pencil end with a lump hammer.

The 230mm blade is hardened, tempered, ground and polished, with a powder-coated finish, and it is laser etched with 100mm lines so you can mark and cut off the tool itself instead of going back for a tape. The handle is a triple-injected soft grip.

It is made for cutting blocks and bricks cleanly, and it also does the demolition jobs a bolster gets used for anyway — lifting wall and floor tiles, taking off external render, and chasing channels in blockwork for recessed pipe and cable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the handle at an angle?

So the hand holding the bolster is not in line with the face you are hitting. On a straight bolster, a missed swing lands on your knuckles.

What hammer should I use with it?

A lump or club hammer. The 30mm anvil is sized to take that kind of blow.

What are the lines on the blade for?

They are etched at 100mm intervals, so you can measure and mark a cut straight off the tool rather than reaching for a tape every time.

Will it cut a concrete block in one go?

The 230mm blade spans a standard block, which is what lets you score and split it in a controlled line rather than chipping across it. Score both faces before you commit.

Do I need eye protection?

Yes. Cutting block and brick throws chips, and struck steel faces can spall. Safety glasses are not optional on this one.

RETURNS

Damaged and Faulty Goods

If your goods are damaged or faulty, we will replace the goods free of charge. If you do not want a replacement, delivery charges may be incurred to collect the item from you. Do not install any damaged items. This counts as acceptance of goods and the item is then non-returnable and non-refundable. Damaged goods must be reported within 48 hours of delivery, please contact us by emailing websales@beattys.ie or by phone on (091) 841403. In the event that goods are received in a damaged state please retain the product together with any packaging and contact us within 48 hours of receipt with photographic evidence. In the case of an item being faulty we may require an inspection by a manufacturer's qualified engineer to be carried out on the item in the location where it is installed. This is so the nature of the fault can be ascertained before we can arrange for a replacement.

All products leave our premises in perfect condition. The customer must notify the carrier (or postman) of even the slightest trace of damage (holes, signs of crushing, etc.) to the parcel, and refuse the package if necessary.

Unwanted Goods

Do not install or use any unwanted items. This counts as acceptance of goods and the item is then non-returnable and non-refundable. You have a statutory right to return unopened goods up to 14 days after receiving your order (“the cooling off period”) and you have a further 14 days to return the goods. If you are not ordering a replacement, a charge may be incurred to collect the item from you. You must notify us of your wish to cancel within 14 days, starting the day after delivery. Please email websales@beattys.ie or phone (091) 841403 to advise.

You have the choice of returning the goods via your own means ( Beattys of Loughrea, Church Street, Loughrea, Co. Galway) or requesting that we collect them. If you request collection, we will collect the goods on the next available date that one of our delivery vehicles is in your area. You have a duty of care while the goods are in your possession and we reserve the right to charge you for any damage that may have occurred during this period.
