Bought a $60 brick tongs after 12 years of hauling 6 at a time by hand

For 12 years I carried bricks 6 at a time from the pallet to the wall, and my lower back paid for it every Friday night. Last spring a guy named Dale on a job in Toledo let me try his tongs for one course, and I ordered a pair that same week. Now I can move 10 a trip without wrecking myself, so what's the one small tool that changed how you work?
