V-lok with that block lifter is a killer combo. Probst had a lot of tools that we used to install walls and pavers. If I remember right Probst had a multiple block lifter for walls. Paver removal tools and paver adjuster. Keystone was always big on engineering but you still had to have an engineer sign off on it.

I really like that King Materials snap together cladding stuff, I'll have to check that firm out in more detail, could be an extra venture for me in the future as I'm familiar with something similar, I once did some work for a German firm in a factory that produced pre-assembled cladding for buildings but the version I saw there is a big improvement on how we used to do it. No messing around screwing rivets into boards for starters.

[@Dirtmonkey]

This was a pretty slick set up but I have not had a chance to try it out myself.

[@timbert4672]

@@Dirtmonkey Indeed, it looks interesting. I've recently started working on garden fencing jobs since starting a job with a small, local family run landscape firm at the same time as someone who is a fencer by trade and I was able to understand it quickly while helping him on a job, I'm wondering if this could potentially open up other options in that area.
