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/
