The pitcher is a short, heavy chisel with flattened cutting edge (approx. 4 mm wide) to chop off large pieces of a rough natural stone block as a first operation and thus get a good start for shaping the edge. The stonecutter strikes the pitcher with his stonemason’s hammer. The paviour uses it to break excess pieces of paving tiles and split pavement stones (1). This pitching tool is to be distinguised from the charring chisel and the flat chisel. [MOT] (1) JELLEMA: 38-39.

For his safety and, in artificial climbing, to get higher, the first climber puts hooks in the crevices of the rock; the latter removes them. The first work can be done with a light fist. However, pulling out the hooks is sometimes difficult and various hammers have been devised to facilitate this. All weigh about 500-670g and usually consist of a square face to drive the hooks in, and a curved pin with notch that can be inserted into the eye of the hook. The handle then becomes the power arm of a lever of the first kind, like a claw hammer. Sometimes there is also a hole in the working part, where a carabiner can be picked up. By forming a chain of three carabiners, the last of which is inserted into the eye of the hook, that hook can sometimes be knocked out. The pin or the more or less pointed end of the working part also serves to drive clamping wedges into gaps. The wooden handle was replaced by the metal, which does not come off. Usually a hole is drilled in the end of the stem...

The pointing sword (1) is a stonemason's hand tool that was used when placing large blocks of natural stone. These blocks are not placed in mortar like bricks, they are placed on wooden blocks after which the mortar is applied between the stone blocks using this tool (2). The vertical joints are also filled in this way. The large notches on both sides therefore serve to push the mortar forward between the stone blocks (3).The thin metal blade can be attached in line with the wooden straight handle or form an angle with it. The blade is doubly serrated in shape, with large notches facing forward. The length of the joint sword depends on the dimensions of the masonry that you want to build with it.The pointing sword is similar to the slate ripper but the blade is thinner, the notches are directed forward and the handle does not end in a hook.
