What are line pins and how are they used?
Line pins are hand tools used for holding masonry lines in place when laying bricks, blocks, or stones. The pins are usually made of steel or brass and have a long tapered point on one end and a loop or ring on the other end. To use the pins, a masonry line is stretched across the length of the area to be laid, and the pins are driven into the mortar joints at each end to hold the line in place. This ensures that the bricks or blocks are laid in a straight line and at the correct height.
What type of line pins are available?
There are several different types of line pins available depending on the specific application. Standard line pins are the most common type and are used for general-purpose bricklaying. They typically have a tapered point and a loop or ring on the end. Snap-on line pins are similar to standard line pins, but they have a spring-loaded clip that allows them to be easily attached and removed from a line. Flat line pins are used for laying bricks or blocks with flat surfaces and have a flat face that rests against the wall.
What should I consider when buying line pins?
When buying line pins, it's important to consider the material they are made from. Steel line pins are the most common and are suitable for most applications, but brass line pins are also available for use in areas where steel may corrode. You should also consider the size and weight of the line pins, as heavier pins can be more difficult to handle but may be more durable. Finally, look for line pins that have a comfortable grip to reduce hand fatigue during use.
