The hammer used for trimming bricks is called a brick hammer or mason’s hammer. It has two distinct sides:
- Flat Face: Used for striking and breaking bricks or driving nails if needed.
- Chisel or Blade Side: Used for scoring, trimming, or shaping bricks by chipping away small pieces.
Brick hammers are a common tool for masons and are specifically designed to handle the toughness of bricks and other masonry materials.
