This invention relates to a construction tool 1 and a method of using the construction tool. The construction tool 1 has a block 10, and a pole 20 which extends from a corner region of the block wherein, in use, the pole is vertical and rigidly supported in the block. The pole 20 supports a string line (27, Fig 4). Preferably, the block is a housing with internal portions which can contain dense material, to weight the block. In the method aspect of the invention, two construction tools 1 of the present invention are placed at opposing ends of a wall to be built, and a string line is attached between the poles of each construction tool. The height of the string line provides a reference for the level of a course of bricks. According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a string line support, which comprises a supporting member to frictionally engage a pole, where the support member includes an elastic member adapted to receive a string line (Figs 10-12). |
