This Mini Brick Splitter carries easily as it weighs only 39 pounds. The opening is a full 5" high, so it can take a regular brick standing up at an angle. The lever action increases your arm strength, so the cuts are made with a minimum effort. The blades are 3-1/2" wide, so it cuts most bricks now in use, and the cut will be accurate since a 12" rule and square are built right into the Mini Splitter. One year factory warranty.
