BLOCK PLANE....joiners & carpenters tool for cutting across the grain of the wood.
BRICK HAMMER...has one flat traditional face and a short or long chisel-shaped blade. It can thus be used to chip off edges or small pieces of stone without using a separate chisel. The chisel blade can also be used to rapidly cut bricks or cinder blocks This type of hammer is also used by geologists when collecting rock samples.
BRICK TROWEL..is a flat-bladed tool with a handle and flat metal blade, used by masons for leveling, spreading, or shaping substances such as cement or mortar,as well as for breaking bricks to shape them or smoothing a mold. Traditionally a brick trowel is made of carbon steel, until 2002 when the cast stainless steel brick trowel was introduced.The advantages of the stainless steel are that it has longer wear and is rust-free.
BOAT LEVEL... Used for levelling horizontally,and vertically.
