Worth the money!
First thing you notice when this arrives in the post is this is a lump and the cutting blade is seriously sharp!I personally didn't like the blue paint so I stripped mine back to factory settings lol. Which I love as it now looks vintage.

Footprint, we'll that says it all, anyone who's a proper bricklayer knows about footprint
There's not much to say, I've been a bricklayer for 32 years and have only used footprint, these are well known in the building industry as a solid well built bolster. Wouldnt use anything else.
