Testimonials
I have been buying carbide tools for our crews for many years and just recently decided to try yours. After a serious road test on New England granite, the word is back:
"These chisels are great". My guys are impressed with their quality so I have decided to switch to Rhino for our stone tool supplier.

I have 25 guys on my stone crew, I can get carbide chisels locally, but the steel is too soft and the carbide is of poor quality, I like to keep plenty of chisels on hand and I like the quality of your tools. I faxed you another order.

I am part of a family run masonry company in Ireland and over the last number of years we have found it difficult to obtain quality stone working tools in Ireland and the UK however this is no longer a cause for concern. The double edged carbide trimming hammers I bought for myself and my father are top class and have significantly reduced our labor time. I would recommend them to any Irish or UK masons as they are very effective when working our sharp limestone. The fiberglass rules are also very practical considering our harsh weather conditions. The shipping was very reasonable.

Dave,
Your tools are great! I’m using the carbide chisels and double edge carbide hammer. They stay sharp and reduce labor.

David,
Just a note to let you know: We ordered 5 custom carbide hammers from you (cross-cut and concave). My guys have been working the dickens out of them and they are working out great! Some of the carbide tips are finally showing some wear, what do you recommend for sharpening them? We also tried your round hammers for hitting the chisels and love them! The larger head makes it much easier to hit the chisel, they have better balance, and are safer to use. I’ll be sending you an order later today for 8 more carbide hammers and 8 round hammers.
Thanks,

David,
I’ve had a hard time finding good quality stone tools in the past and finally tried yours – just have to tell you how happy I am with them! Here’s my second order…

Bought the double edge carbide hammer, it’s the best stone hammer I’ve ever
used. I love it because I don’t ever have to sharpen it, at least not for a
very long time.
I’ll be buying more for our crew.

Dave,
I have to tell you how psyched I am about your tools! I’ve been telling
everybody about them.
They are the best stone tools I have ever bought and I can’t believe how well
they work for cutting stone! Using your tools has greatly minimized having to
use a brick saw to cut stone. The PKM 25 point chisel is my new best friend!
Here’s my order for more tools…

Dear Dave,
Thank you for your advice on purchasing stone chisels for my
fireplace. I had purchased a set or chisels from _____ _____ ____
Company and after 1 day of use set them aside. There is no comparison to
your product! I look forward to doing business with you in the future.

Thanks for making A great hammer. Any job is easier with good quality tools. The balance
is great, the hickory handles are easy to hang on to, and most of all they CUT, especially
with the concaved end. We have tried evey brand I can find. The Masons working with me
agree this is the best finishing hammer out there.

We're ordering more Rhino Rulers. Our formans like the fact they can use them around
wet enviroments and they hold to the tough jobsite conditions.

David,
For two years I have used your carbide chisels and honestly have never found anything, anywhere to compete with the quality of your product. The carbide must be the best quality you can buy because after using it on the many tons of stone I've laid there's not even a scratch on the carbide. I've never had to sharpen it and its still as good as the day I bought it. Recently I bought from you carbide stone hammers. Wow! the bad new for you is that I'll probably never have to get another unless I just want a different size. I've been in the business for 33 years now and have never seen the like. Most stone hammers you have to sharpen even if the steel is tempered properly. With the Carbide head of the hammer being just like the chisels I've found that sharpening is not necessary anymore.
Thanks,

Dave,
I have used one of your chisels for two years and have never had to sharpen it. The carbide tip is as sharp as Day One. Your round hammer is well balanced and the large surface area reduces accidental mis-strikes and arm strain.
Thanks,

Dave,
Just started using one of your double end carbide hammers and have to tell you that this is the best stone trimming hammer I have ever seen and used in my entire life!
I think if every stone mason out there isn’t using one they should be! Passing out compliments is not something I do very often, but I’ve got to tell you this hammer is awesome!
