Comment on TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld

A stonemason’s hammer, also known as a brick hammer, has one flat traditional face and a short or long chisel-shaped blade.[1] It can thus be used to chip off edges or small pieces of stone, cut brick or a concrete masonry unit, 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 and mineral samples and is one of several types of geologist’s hammer.

They named it after an Estwing! Badass.

Huh. That’s actually news to me, with that kind of detail on it!

I think the name might have to do with the idea of a “traditional face married to a cutting edge” which is actually pretty clever.

If I’d known this, I’d have put it in my review! Thanks for sharing!!!

  Just to be clear, this is basically a guess but feel free to add it if you want, if I am right I didn’t come up with it, it was just lost in translation.
