When it comes to installing pavers, accuracy is vital.The use of a ruler to check gravel and sand depths often results in slightly different measurements along a single edge. The Quick-E-Gauge allows the installer to quickly, easily and perfectly set the height of the base or setting bed every time. The screeding edge of the Quick-E-Gauge is adjustable for the different thicknesses of pavers.

Quick-E-Lifter (Set of 2)
By using one in each hand, these phenomenal tools allow one person to lift and transfer approximately 6 to 12 pavers quickly, efficiently and safely from the staging area pallets to the installation area.Put our Quick-E-LIFTERS to the test. A user can carry more pavers at one time, with more ease than someone can by carrying a stack against their front. This translates into a hauler using a lot less energy and speeding up production by approximately 30%.Keep your hands out of harm’s way by using Quick-E-Lifters. You can almost throw your gloves away.

INSTRUCTIONS:Adjust the two ends of the Quick-E-Scribes to the desired width, and just drag the guide end along the fixed edge that you wish to trace. The other end will follow and perfectly mark the paver or block for the cut. Watch the video online to see how to use the Quick-E-SCRIBES.

Quick-E-Track CleanerThe contractors choice for cleaning equipment tracks. Open ended shovel with a tight pointed end for getting into tight spots.
Quick-E-Sand PlowOne of the biggest reasons a project can fail is an improperly installed edge restraint (PVC edging).If your edging does not sit down tight on your compacted gravel base, the sand will migrate out and cause your edge to lose all stability. Thus causing the installation to fail. The Quick-E-Sand Plow effortlessly glides along the top of your paver edge while plowing the sand out away from the paver allowing a perfect setting bed on the gravel for the PVC edging.
NOTE: this tool accommodates the interchangeable handle (sold separately).
To use the Quick-E-Sand Plow simply loosen the two large black knobs and slide the plate up or down until the desired paver height (in millimeters) is lined up with the top of the plate. By doing this, you will automatically be set to the correct height if you are using 1” screed pipes. Once set, firmly drag the Quick-E-Sand Plow along the edge of your paver surface to plow the sand away and expose the compacted gravel below. This prepares a perfect base on which the PVC edging is to rest and get spiked into. Be sure to keep the plow firmly against the paver edge at all times. Calibrated for depths from 2-3/4” to 6” (7 cm to 15 cm).
