# Easy Arches
THE BRICKLAYERS ARCHING TOOL (B.A.T.), made by Knerr Masonry, LTD, of Wapakoneta, Ohio, will nearly bring an end to cutting Styrofoam or plywood for arch building on your job site forever.
"At one time, every mason has thought that there has got to be something faster to build an arch besides what's currently on the market," says Jacoby Knerr, Owner of Knerr Masonry. "The first thing on our minds is how can we be more efficient with our time without losing good craftsmanship. Minimizing movement is key, and that's where my tool comes in."
With a durable aluminum design that can last a lifetime, the B.A.T. can be set up in eight minutes by a first-time user and in three minutes by a pro. After it's in place, laying a masonry arch is a snap and for most applications, without shims!
"Using the B.A.T. eliminates the forethought of building an arch," explains Knerr. "Have the tender set up the tool and three minutes later you're running the arch. Just try it once and you'll be hooked it's so easy. My crew completely loves it."

# Safer Striking
Baltimore Toolworks, Inc., of Baltimore, Md., has reinvented an old favorite with its Hard Cap chisels. With a larger striking cap placed on the head, these chisels minimize shock and vibration, reduce the chances of striking your hand with the hammer, and eliminate flying fragments from the chisel itself.
"What we've developed with this higher-tech polymer material is a chisel that doesn't vibrate, doesn't pass the shock onto the holding hand of the tool, and it also reduces the shock to the hand swinging the hammer," explains Downie McCarty, President of Baltimore Toolworks. "Noise is reduced up to 80%, and there's a much bigger target to hit, so people feel more comfortable, and they can hit harder because their confidence factor goes up. They recognize they've got some protection there."
