🔨 🧮 🔧 ⚒️ ⚙️ Common Masonry Tools 🧰 ⛏️ 🛠️ 🗜️ 🔩

Masonry work requires tools for various purposes, i.e. for handling of mortar, for the dressing of stone, for cutting of bricks to get required shape etc.
As it goes with traditions in existence since the days of the Ancient Indian and Egypt, masonry deals with some common elements as crushed stones from the earth and simple metal tools.
These tools are also known by their regional names depending upon local customs of the region for example, spades are known as “phavadas”, mortar pan is known as “ghamela” and so on.
Here we are discussing on few masonry tools:
Trowel - The basic masonry trowel is made up of stainless steel with a plastic/ wooden handle. The ends of trowel may be bull nosed or pointed. This is used to lift and spread mortar in joints during masonry construction. There are different kinds and sizes of trowels used in masonry work.
Margin Trowel - Margin trowel consists of flattened metal square end and wooden handle.
Spirit level - It is used to check the horizontality and verticality of the surfaces. Spirit level is made of hard plastic or wood with bubble tube in the middle. The bubble tube is partially filled with alcohol in such a way that, an air bubble is formed in it. The spirit level is placed on surface of masonry wall and bubble is checked. The surface is called leveled when the bubble in the tube settles at middle of tube.
Measuring Tape - Measuring tape consists of metal strip with linear measurement markings.
Spades - They are used to mix mortar and also used to place cement, mortar, concrete in head pan. Spade is also used to dig the soil for foundation trenches etc. It consists of metal plate at the end of long wooden handle.
Claw Hammer - Claw hammer is a hammer with a wooden handle, and its one side of the head is split and curved.
Chisel - They are used with mallets and with hammers. A chisel is used for normal splitting, roughing out and shaping the stone. Chisels are available in different sizes with bladed, flat, tapered and other shaped chipping points. Blade of chisel is made from iron or metal and the handle is made from wood.
