You'll lose part of the effectiveness by suspending the hammer - gravity is

OK, this is good, thanks. Not much we can do about lack of gravity

Take a sledgehammer, too. If it's old, soft mortar, the bricks may
knock out more easily that way.


I concur with sledgehammer idea. Done that few times and was surprised how
easy it was.
