Description

If you want to construct a raised flower bed, BBQ, fire pit, firewood storage unit, brick or block fence or entrance wall, mailbox base, fish pond or water feature, garage, workshop, home addition, porch, or entryway from brick, then Bricky is the tool you need to achieve a high-quality professional finish.

The Bricky system, as seen in this TV infomercial to the right, includes a round-nose trowel, Mason's Mate (to help level the bricks), Pro-Pointer (for pointing mortar joints), and both the horizontal and vertical guides that help lay the mortar on horizontal and vertical surfaces. The kit also includes a DVD that shows how to build a small workshop or office in brick.

The Bricky wall-building system will help move your project along three times faster because it's easier, cleaner, and delivers precise mortar joints.

Bricky is a simple but highly effective tool that acts as a template to ensure that a perfectly uniform bed of mortar is laid between courses of bricks and blocks. It is suitable for standard brick and block on-edge construction in both US and Metric (W x D x H) dimensions:


•  US Bricks: 7 5/8" x 3 5/8" x 2 1/4"
•  US Blocks: 15 1/2" x 7 1/2" x 3 5/8"		 •  Metric Bricks: 215mm x 102.5mm x 65mm
•  Metric Blocks: 440mm x 215mm 100mm

We only sell the U.S. version for use with standard size bricks and blocks (not the metric unit).

Made from injection molded plastic (ABS), Bricky is extremely durable, rigid, and resistant to the elements, as well as lightweight and easy to use. Wall construction requires both horizontal and vertical joints between every brick and block. The Bricky tool addresses both types of joints with its horizontal and two vertical mortar guides.

Bricky's horizontal guideThe Horizontal Guide includes the following features (the sizes listed below are given in rough measurements):

  1. Level vials on both horizontal planes.
  2. A 40" (900mm) long template to receive a 1/2" (12mm) thick layer of mortar. This thickness is specifically calculated to allow for 1/8" (2-3mm) natural compaction and ensure that a standard 3/8" (10mm) joint is achieved and securely bonded.
  3. An open back end to allow the tool to slide along the wall as work progresses.
  4. Four spring-guides to ensure that the tool remains centered on the wall. The springs' rounded edges allow the user to guide the tool along the wall. Protective cases are specifically located so the mortar bed will meet precisely at the corners.

Bricky's vertical guideThe Vertical Guides include the following features (the sizes listed below are given in rough measurements):

  1. Two vertical guides to address vertical joints in brick and standard blocks.
  2. A template to receive a 7/16" (11.5mm) vertical bed of mortar. This thickness is specifically calculated to allow for 1/16" (1.5mm) natural compaction and ensure that the standard 3/8" (10mm) finished joint is achieved and securely bonded.
  3. A vertical guide designed to ensure that the user can quickly plaster in the vertical joint. The positioning guides are rounded at the ends to allow placement with speed and ease.
  4. An ergonomically designed handle for user comfort.

The Bricky Pro-Pointer features four different sizes to handle the unexpected or a variety of mortar joint sizes.

Benefits to using the Bricky:

  • Increases productivity—up to 300%
  • Eliminates mortar waste—traditionally 40% is wasted
  • Creates no mess—no mortar falls into cavities
  • Ensures precise joint spacing—standard 3/8" (10mm)
  • Automatically points joints to perfection—1/4" recess (6mm)
  • Assures joints are completely filled with mortar—no gaps
  • Requires no follow-up raking out, acid cleaning, etc.

This is one tool I highly recommend, and I'm confident that you'll enjoy using it as much as I did. If you want a great-looking brick project that can be done quickly, then Bricky, the professional wall-building tool, is for you. To learn how to use Bricky, click here.
