GATORBACKS ARE ENGINEERED
The GATORBACK's patented dished, lipless work area allows masons to get a
trowel full of mortar without friction, snags or loss of material. To
maximize daily production, a mason must maintain a consistent, natural
range of motion without wasted movements. Moreover, the mortar needs to
be highly workable. As a result, the GATORBACK's unique design provides a
smooth working surface that will not absorb water from mortar, but will
extend the mortar's boardlife, ultimately increasing a mason's
production. Because the dished area is centrally located, this pan
effect also retains the mortar and any additional water added for
retempering.
GATORBACKS ARE DURABLE
A good tool must be durable and built to
last. GATORBACK mortarboards are injection molded from a hybrid blend of
impact resistant materials to withstand the abuse of masonry crews.
This mortarboard will not absorb water nor allow mortar to form a thick,
permanent bond and can be kept clean with a hit of a hammer. The board
can take heavy blows in both summer and winter (above 30 degrees ambient
temperatures).
GATORBACKS ARE PORTABLE & LIGHT
The handle on the GATORBACK is deliberately
positioned to enable masons and tenders to carry their mortarboards at
their sides, vertically, in an ergonomically correct method. Considering
each board weighs just 5.5 pounds and is less than an inch thick, a
mason or tender can effortlessly transport 8-10 GATORBACKs at one time
(4-5 per hand) without back strain or stress. What's more, the handle
makes daily job site clean up easy and quick which prevents your
Gatorback boards from being left behind or stolen. This is a tool not a
plain old piece of plywood. In addition, the handle is perfectly sized
so as many as 80 to 100 boards can be slid on the forks of a jobsite
lift and elevated to crews working on scaffolding.
