Ontario Bricklayer Designs User Friendly Gauge Tape for Laying Maxi Bricks

Feb. 3, 2012 - PRLog -- A brick and stone mason of 25 years- from Brantford, Ontario Canada turns Frustration into Creation!

Years of frustration from gauging with the ‘only maxi brick gauge tape on the market’  has finally taken its' toll.  Gone are the days - we  put up with  short tape spans,  poor quality  recoils – an  easily shattered casing and  the  lack of  instant  gauging. I spent many a  nights - just 'thinking outside the box' – then  one night...it all came together! "We've needed a more functional gauging tool for a long time now , says Dennis.

The Gaines Maxi Brick Rule gauges maxi bricks with EASE. It does all the thinking for the bricklayer!
The best feature is - the tapes’ ability to gauge both vertically and linearly. The tape offers instant  calculations 'on demand'. No more  counting  and laying bricks along the length of a wall or counting how many courses are left to lay ! It gives you this information instantly! It gauges the amount of soldiers  needed in a particular application too.   And…  no more paying a labourer twice - for guesswork – the  over or under stocking of bricks!   The tape gives precise  brick counts.

The generous 26 ft. tape span has been improved from the short tape spans of the past. The steel tape is 1 inch wide - and the gauge lines have been specially designed to extend 'end to end' - on both sides of the tape ... for a more accurate transfer of information. The tape is impact resistant, has a rubberized casing and yes  - a premium  quality recoil!

The custom thought out gauging tool has brought much relief to aspiring bricklaying apprentices and masonry teachers.  "It's so rewarding to think - I've made their job - a little easier” says Dennis.  Concrete workers who pour foundations can now set their elevations to the maxi brick gauge. This eliminates bricklayers from having to cut slices to fit the wall.

"The positive  feedback from other bricklayers  has been humbling,” says Dennis. I never imagined it would have this kind of impact. In saying that…I ve got to give a lot of credit to my wife…who is the ‘behind the scenes - go getter.’
We are looking for Ontario suppliers and USA States of Indiana, New York, Michigan and Idaho....to carry our product.  We are offering free shipping for a limited time only.   You can check out the Gaines Maxi Brick Rule at  www.toolsnrules.com. Watch a live video.
