There was a tool i saw years ago that won an inventors award thing, It dispensed the cement out evenly and quickly and could be used for pointing, I have been looking for it again for ages, turns a 3 day job into a 1day

aye, I've got one pal

na, i have seen that loads of times, its not the one i was meaning but it is cool .

From what i remember it used their own new tpe of cement, it dispenced it through a nozzle at the end which was the same width as a brick and laid the cement evenly, didnt use a guide like the bricky, you just ran it along the bricks and along the sides of the bricks when placing them, the cement itself was pretty special from what i remember, it allowed you to be able to build brics streight up instead of overlapping like u have to and you could stick them together over a door frame or arch or anything.  I have been googling it for a while but for the life of me cant think how to describe it in search terms
