If you're learning bricklaying (properly) then forget any of these systems.  There are several variations on this theme, all aimed at the guy "who hasn't a clue".

Those pictures on their website show excellent brickwork, nicely jointed so NO WAY was any of that done as a first attempt at bricklaying.

I spent 3 years going to college (evenings) plus now over 30 years experience and there is a lot more to bricklaying than just bedding the bricks.

However, for a few quid you could get one of these gadgets and prove me wrong...........  Wink

As a complete novice at bricklaying,I bought a "Bricky" tool for building my new workshop earlier this year.
Quite pleased with the results,but other bricklaying (garden walls and similar) I have done since,I have done without it.
So I think all these "tools" serve the same purpose - if you have no experience,they will give you enough confidence with bricks and mortar to do it the traditional way (which I think is a better job/finish)

So they have there place,but only in the DIY market.
