If the area your block paving is square and all you are cutting is full blocks into halves then yes a block splitter is ideal but for cuts on a 45 degree angle you will not get a perfect cut every time, the gap between each block is too wide and you end up with too much kiln dried sand in the joints what will be washed away during heavy rain leaving a wide gap for weeds and moss to get established

Not a very professional finish in my opinion, what might be acceptable on a car park or road does not look good on a private drive, patio or path
