Swapped my rubber mallet for a deadblow hammer 3 years back

I used to think a rubber mallet was fine for setting bricks until I spent a whole Saturday fixing shifted walls on a patio job in Austin. Has anyone else switched tools and seen a BIG difference in how clean their courses stay?

Setting bricks with a rubber mallet" sounds like a recipe for a bad back and crooked walls, honestly.

Yeah @zaram97, switching to a deadblow hammer saved my brickwork on that Austin patio too.

Right @blake322, nothing says "professional masonry" like looking like you're playing Whac-A-Mole with your patio.
