Do these brick splitters work? See links below. Going to install a
clay brick patio. The pattern that the wife picked out I have a
feeling that I will be cutting many bricks at the edge.

Yes, they do. Quite accurate also. The difference between the two seems to
be the color.

You can get a cheap diamond blade from Harbor Freight for your
circular saw, set it about 1" deep and score the brick any way you
wish. A whack with a hammer and you have a clean cut and you only
spent $30 on the blade. Blades for angle grinders are even cheaper,
around $10. In fact you could get the angle grinder and blade for $35
or so. Either tool could work better at tricky sections like round
edges/
