Switched from a standard trowel to a brick trowel with a narrower heel

I mean, I always thought the wider ones were better for speed, but this one just gets into the corners on these old Chicago brick jobs so much easier. Has anyone else made a switch like that and noticed a big difference in tight spaces?

Wait, you're still using a trowel on Chicago brick?

Yeah, the trowel thing on Chicago brick, @shanec61. I switched to a pointing gun for the last job and it was way faster. The old mortar came out clean without messing up the brick face.

Try a margin trowel for those corners.
