Description
Brick Hammers (aka Mason's Hammers or by Geologists as Rock Hammers) these have one flat hammer face and one chisel edge.
Features and 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.
