A bricklayer friend asked could they make a tool for raking out the brick joints - in the early days, a block of wood with a nail hammered in it was used for this purpose. Hence the birth of BT's Steel Wheel Rakers, and later the Poly Wheel and Long Handle Rakers.
It was then suggested that a free-standing, steel profile would be a great advantage over building corners then filling the "guts" later. So the BT Profile was born. What a boon they were in those days, and they still remain very popular today.
In the 1960's, bricklayers and pavers didn't have the equipment that highly equipped tradesmen have today.
Jeff Thomas joined the staff after serving his apprenticeship at Qantas, and has managed the business now for several years. The management and staff of BT Engineering are proud of the high-class equipment they manufacture for tradesmen.
BT Engineering would like to thank the bricklayers and pavers for their suggestions during the development of the now famous BT Bricksaw. It is so popular some companies are thinking of copying it and manufacturing it offshore.
