I used a nice worm-drive circular saw with a masonry blade for most straight cuts, and a grinder with a masonry blade for the tough stuff and to clean up my bad cuts when halfing bricks. A grinder with the safety guard is amazing for sculpting and cleanup of bricks, tile, mortar, cement…whatever. Just make sure you get a couple of masonry or multi-purpose blades because once you dull one…it flat out doesn’t work, while a new one will but like butter. The grinder was REALLY helpful with chimney cuts, and granite cuts (counter-top).
