Marshalltown Brick Lines

Marshalltown Brick Lines at Tooled-Up.com

Marshalltown Brick Lines cover the accessories bricklayers use to set out and hold a straight line along each course. Tooled-Up.com stocks the Marshalltown 86 Hardwood Brick Line Blocks, the 86P Plastic Brick Line Blocks, Forged Brick Line Pins, the Masons Brick Line and the Masons Brick Line Winder.

The blocks and pins do the same job in different ways. Blocks grip the line at the corner without driving anything into the mortar joint, while pins are fixed into the joint. The line and winder complete the setup, so you can choose a single item or build a full line-setting kit.

Key Features of Marshalltown Brick Lines

• Hardwood blocks (86): Supplied as a pair, they hold the line between the block and the brickwork. The durable hardwood construction stands up to regular site use.
• Plastic blocks (86P): These do the same job as the hardwood version in a plastic body, which suits bricklayers who prefer a material that is unaffected by damp.
• No pin holes: Because the blocks grip the line rather than being driven into the joint, they avoid marking or disturbing fresh mortar.
• Forged pins: Forged construction gives strength and resistance to bending when the pin is driven into a joint, and the pin holds the line firmly when tensioned.
• Masons line and winder: A dedicated line gives a consistent guide for course height, and the winder keeps it tidy and tangle-free between jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose line blocks or line pins?

Line blocks are a good choice when you want to avoid making holes in the mortar joint, as they grip the line at the corner of the wall. Forged pins suit bricklayers who prefer a fixed anchor point in the joint. Many tradespeople keep both on hand.

What is the difference between the 86 and 86P line blocks?

Both are sold as a pair and hold the line in the same way. The 86 is made from hardwood, while the 86P is made from plastic. Your choice comes down to which material you prefer on site.

Do I need a line winder?

It is not essential, but a winder keeps the Masons Brick Line neat and ready to use. It also helps prevent tangles that waste time when setting out. Shop Marshalltown Brick Lines at Tooled-Up to put together a complete setup.
