EVERY BRICKLAYER should have one of these

[@JD-uh9od]

I call it the “stupid end” and the bit where you take the reading is the “business end”. When I ask my mate to get a tape and hold the end for me and he asks which end I can tell him “you hold the stupid end I hold the business end” 👌👌

[@krisrickson853]

😂 Love it

[@RodianBuilds]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yes mate, that brilliant 🤙🏼🧱

[@HarryWarren1]

my dad always calls it the "happy end", "come hold the happy end of the tape for a minute"

[@davidjones403]

I call it the silly end aswell 😆

[@bobf1290]

I've had a magnet in my tool bag for years, I have attached mine to some string line Coz I'm always dropping things down the cavity my trowel most of the time lol and a lot of builds I do the cavity is massive 150mm so things tend to fall 😂 saves cutting a block out at the bottom, another great vid mate 👍

[@yewsengcheong1637]

Salvage some ring magnets from thrown out microwave ovens? You can tie a line through it too. Btw, could you please do a video on Dutch pins and how they are used please?

[@jAcKsOnLoVeS1]

You drop your trowel off of the scaffolding, you better go home see what the wife is up to.....🤣

I was always told this 🤣🤣

[@hendosbricklaying2003]

First thing I was told day one of my apprenticeship haha

[@paulbest2203]

Yep especially if it's gone down cavity like my boat level did years ago .Magnet did the trick when used on an old building with no cavity inso.

[@RodianBuilds]

I've retrieved my boatie a few times with the magnet. Cavitys seem to attract tools 🤙🏼🧱🤣🤣

[@seanbrown..brownsbuildings1424]

Yep got one 👍🏻. Lost it for a while though , but found it going around and around in the washing machine 😂😂

The end of the tape measure is called a fadangle hook.

[@adamsala9291]

Good! Idea but you will get muck on your trouser?

[@RodianBuilds]

I only use this method when high up so dont get too much muck in my back pocket but it obviously does happen.

[@boyo57]

That's clever. Great video

Metal hooked tab!

Rodian how do you spell that magnets name

[@markmaloney5146]

Lol we used mages for years. Especially when trowel goes down own cavity

Same 👌😂

You always put the labourer on the dull end,but saying that brickies are just labourers with their brains smashed out 😂😂😂

[@johnblackburn7673]

Be starting a new trend there Rodian. Loads of Brickies with trowels stick to their jeans. What happens when you forget and jump into your truck which used to have beautiful leather seats lol So funny

Sounds like there will be a few ripped van seats 🤣🤣🤙🏼🧱

Cheers buddy 😁🤙🏼🧱

[@thedjwiththebeats]

firstly, thank you for all of your very helpful videos! I'm about to build a garage and without your informative videos i would be a bit lost. not to be a health and saftey nanny, just watch that your magnet doesn't chip in to sharp fragments that can get stuck in places you'd rather they weren't. neodymium magnets are brittle and can break up when they hit things from being pulled against them... ask me how i know. also, ferrofluids can be cool to play with!

[@RodianBuilds]

Glad you are finding the videos useful. I didnt know the magnets were that brittle, maybe I've been lucky and had a good one. Lasted me a long time. Hope the garage build goes well 🤙🏼🧱

[@thedjwiththebeats]

@@RodianBuilds hang on to it, its obviously a gooden! can i ask, if you dont mind, what you would recommend to tie piers to a half brick thick wall? i would like to build my garage in stretcher bond (105mm thick/half brick) and not bond piers in (so the headers arent visible outside). approved doc A and a good amount of googling has shed no light on 1. if 100mm wall ties are available and 2. if wall ties would be appropriate to tie in piers. thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have.

[@tokley31]

For slapping to your back your better off getting a trowelmate look it up!

[@Goodwithwood69]

Its called a jeb end!

[@daiburt1833]

I'd go with hook personally

[@bentyrrell8083]

I use a product called a trowel mate. Brilliant to use when on block work. Anyone else use one??

[@RodianBuilds]

I've seen those before but couldn't remember the name. I may have to give one a go 🤙🏼🧱

[@Ratsotone]

I've been considering buying one those, it's gotta be a great help when you're working on block work, and you can pick one up for around £25

They are deff worth it, I wouldn’t be without it now

Nice trick there thanks 👍. Ooo, on scaffolding on the house maybe more house build videos coming back like the old days maybe? Brought one of these a while back when I 1st saw you mention it. Great trip/trick 👍👍💪

Putting your trowel on your back pocket is surly gonna rot your jeans..theres a gimmick you can buy it's like a long magnet pad that goes on your belt..plus no wet bottom..

I'll take a look into that gimmick, must admit I have gotten a wet butt from time to time 🤙🏼🧱

it is knon as the stupid end of the tape measure i. e, when measuring anything over 3m and you need someone to hold the end
