Sometimes the roof tiler has to remove a piece of a roof tile in order to install it. He often does this with a trowel (see mason's trowel), although that is not an ideal treatment for that tool. Some tilers therefore use pliers that resemble large carpenter's pincers. However, the rafter has narrower jaws, which do not close completely because a rod between the arms keeps them at a certain distance from each other. Often one arm ends in a hook to hang the pliers from a roof bar when not in use. See also tile pincers and marble pincers. [MOT]

When cutting down large trees, it is sometimes necessary to remove their crowns first to prevent the tree from hanging, to reduce weight and prevent cracking, etc. This is usually done with a topping axe. It is a light axe of about 0.8 to 1.5 kg with a relatively narrow (6.5-7 cm) and long (20-27 cm) blade, on a handle of 40-50 cm. The specialized craftsman is on his climbing irons and is stopped by a rope. He usually works with one hand. If the lumberjack does the work himself, he often uses the woodman's axe. [MOT]
