The rubber mallet trick I thought was BS actually saved my back last week
I always laughed at old timers who said to tap every brick into place with a rubber mallet instead of pushing by hand, but after laying 400 bricks on a retaining wall in Austin I gave it a try. My wrists stopped aching by noon and the joints came out way tighter. Did anyone else resist a basic tool change for years before realizing it worked?

I tapped bricks by hand for 25 years and never hurt my back, learn better technique.
