Brick Hammers (aka Mason's Hammers or by Geologists as Rock Hammers) these have one flat hammer face and one chisel edge.
Uses
They are commonly used to cut a brick or piece of rock to size. Make light blows with the chisel-end all the way around the block or brick and then a sharp blow with the hammer end will give a clean cut.
Safety Point! Wear eye protection and work gloves when working with masonry.
