HANDSAWS

"You have a building material that you call masonry, but within that range you have many different types. It's a little difficult sometimes to talk to people and get them to understand that a brick is not just a brick," says Mostrup.

OBVIOUSLY, if you are going to be cutting brick or block all day long, this isn't the most advantageous tool for your crew to be using. Cutting a brick with a handsaw can take up to 30 seconds per unit and will eventually wear the user out. There are certainly several advantages that make this saw something special to keep around.
First off, sometimes you just don't always have easy access to power on every work site, or you can't get the power where you need it. Not a problem with this tool.
