It excels at producing clean, precise results for patios, paths, and other outdoor surfaces. Its ergonomic design aids accuracy and makes work easier across a range of masonry tasks.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This jointer is used during the finishing stage of pointing work, after mortar or jointing compound has been applied to brickwork or paving joints.

Once the joint material is in place but still workable, the tool smooths and compacts it to create a uniform, weather-resistant finish before the material sets.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Surface: Clean the area to remove any loose debris and make sure the joints are ready for pointing.
2. Select the End: Based on the joint width, choose the appropriate size (12mm or 16mm).
3. Apply Mortar or Compound: Use a pointing gun or a trowel to fill the joint with your chosen material, ensuring even distribution.
4. Smooth the Joint: Run the jointer along the joint with steady pressure to achieve a uniform finish.
5. Clean After Use: Wipe down the tool to remove any residual material and maintain its polished surface.
