        Description: |  
| This tool attaches to a brick, and automatically sets the offset of the next course.  It also contains level vials to ensure the course is plumb and level.
The tool also has an arm that allows a string line to be stretched between two of these gauges, providing a simple and accurate marker for the bricks. |
