Bosch Professional Bricklaying & Plastering Tools at Tooled-Up.com
Bosch Professional Bricklaying & Plastering Tools cover the preparation and finishing jobs that come with masonry and wall work. The focus is mortar raking: removing old, weathered or cracked joints so a wall can be repointed, repaired or made ready for new mortar. It is dusty, repetitive work that needs a consistent cutting depth, and the tools are built to deliver that.
Tooled-Up.com stocks Bosch Professional mortar raking tools for bricklayers, pointing specialists and general builders. They suit restoration repointing as well as everyday remedial work on brick and block walls.
Key Features of Bosch Professional Bricklaying & Plastering Tools
- Controlled joint cutting: Mortar raking tools are designed to clear joints to a consistent depth. This leaves a clean channel for fresh mortar and reduces the risk of chipped brick arrises.
- Hard-wearing cutting edges: Diamond and carbide-type cutting surfaces cope with abrasive mortar, so they hold their performance over long runs of pointing.
- Grinder-driven versatility: Raking accessories are typically fitted to an angle grinder. Check the disc diameter, bore and spindle thread against your machine before you order.
- Dust extraction compatibility: Raking produces fine mineral dust. Using guards and extraction designed for the job keeps the work area cleaner and helps with COSHH compliance.
- Professional build quality: The Bosch Professional blue range is made for daily site use rather than occasional DIY jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is mortar raking used for?
Mortar raking removes damaged or worn mortar from between bricks or blocks. This prepares the joints for repointing, which restores weather resistance and appearance.
Do I need an angle grinder to use Bosch Professional mortar raking tools?
Many raking accessories are designed to be driven by an angle grinder. Check the product specification for disc diameter, bore size and spindle compatibility, and make sure your grinder suits the accessory.
How should I control dust when raking out mortar?
Use suitable dust extraction where possible, and wear a correctly rated respirator, eye protection and hearing protection. Mortar dust can contain respirable silica, so follow HSE and COSHH guidance, particularly when working for long periods.
Are these tools suitable for older or heritage brickwork?
They can be, but older masonry often has softer bricks and lime mortar, so take care. Work slowly, keep the cutting depth under control and avoid touching the brick edges. For sensitive projects, check the conservation requirements before you start.
