Builders who are buying bricklaying tools need to make sure they purchase equipment that will last.

According to BricklayingBasics, a typical bricklayer will be expected to lay a minimum of 500 bricks every day.

This places a significant burden on a brick trowel, which means builders may benefit from paying a premium for a high-grade tool.

Buying a top-of-the-range brick trowel could significantly offset the cost of constantly replacing your bricklaying tools after a small number of uses.

"A good quality trowel will last approximately five years at that rate of production," the website commented.

BricklayingBasics added that buying a "ridiculously cheap" brick trowel could be a false economy, as they tend to break at inopportune moments.

Builders could find W. Rose a good brand to go for when purchasing a brick trowel, as the company has been creating bricklaying tools for over 200 years and is now widely regarded as a market leader.
