New stone hammers and chisels

Rhino Tools, Portland, Ore., maker of the familiar Rhino Tools Fiberglass folding ruler (see Masonry, May 2002) has introduced a new line of hammers and Rebit chisels. Each handmade piece is suitable for very hard stone and is "thru-hardened" and tempered to give them a much harder edge than other stone hammers. Prices are competitive with all other brands, plus you get the benefit of a longer lasting tool, says Rhino. For more information, visit their website at www.rhinotools.com or call 503-320-2835.
