Faithfull Mortar Pick - Double Point

Product Information

However, there may be occasions, such as removing hard cement mortars, where power tools are necessary. We always advise using hand tools, like a hammer and chisel, as this allows for greater control and precision. The technical storage or access is strictly necessary for the legitimate purpose of enabling the use of a specific service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, or for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network. From the standard trowel to the handy brick joiner, our diverse range of lime pointing tools can assist professional masons, traditional builders, and DIY enthusiasts in achieving a successful project. Repointing, on the other hand, is a term used to describe repairing or replacing an existing mortar in the joints.

Using power tools, such as angle grinders or drills, to remove an existing mortar can be risky, as this can damage the existing stone masonry or brickwork.In addition to being lighter and stronger than wood, they also transfer less strike shock and vibration. ROUGHNECK® pick axes and mattocks are versatile tools with a wide variety of applications including digging up rocks and tree roots, breaking up and cultivating ground, preparing foundations and mortar removal.

Using the right tool for the job makes the work more efficient and can assist with a more precise lime mortar application and uniform, smooth and long-lasting finish.

First, the churn brush compacts the mortar into the joint, closing any initial shrinkage, improving contact between the mortar and the masonry, and tidying up any mortar on the edges.A brick joiner is an excellent option for pointing brickwork, as its larger size allows for quicker mortar application into the joint without losing precision. Ideal for breaking up and dislodging rocks, stones, mortar, paving slabs, and hard or compacted ground. The wide, horizontal mattock blade is slightly curved to ensure the optimum striking angle for greater penetration. Repointing often requires the removal of any damaged lime mortar or rigid cement mortar with a hand tool, such as a sharp chisel, before new lime mortar is applied. Our solid fibreglass core handles are not only stronger than conventional wooden handles, they are also far more durable and require no maintenance.

Built to withstand the toughest jobs, ROUGHNECK® pick axes and mattocks are manufactured from drop forged steel, heat treated for extra toughness, and mounted on a solid fibreglass core handle. If repointing stonework with larger joints, a tongue trowel is handy; its larger size and shape help distribute the mortar more evenly, speeding up finishing time. They allow for more controlled, precise strikes, thereby preventing accidental damage to vulnerable objects such as pipes, cabling and plants.
