Hammer bricklayer's

A brick hammer -- also called a masonry hammer -- is a hand tool used by carpenters and masons. One end of the hammer head has a block, and the opposite end has a chisel. While there are several handy ways to use the brick hammer, it is most often to break, trim and clean brick slabs. A brick layer hammer or masonry hammer is one of the most popular and used tools in a mason's tool setup. It can be used for cutting, cleaning and setting bricks, stone or masonry. The two sides of the head are very different from each other and for good reason.
