The Mason uses his skill to place mortar and units together to construct a masonry element or structure. The quality of that construction is a product of his efforts and skill.
PROPER POWER TOOL MAINTENANCE SAVES TIME & MONEY 22
Power tools are an important factor in a technician's job. By following a few simple guidelines, you won't need to replace equipment as often or face jobsite tool failure.
