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.

GATORBACKS ARE A GREAT INVESTMENT

If your people are your greatest asset, reward and motivate them with the best tools-especially tools that last for years. GATORBACK mortarboards are good assets for your company and they show your masonry team you care about them AND the quality of their work. If you think your masons and tenders are good now, give them GATORBACK boards and watch their daily production increase significantly!
