The RST Tuck or Window Pointer is a precision-engineered tool designed for professional masons and DIY enthusiasts who require clean, professional-looking mortar joints. Its primary benefit is the ability to shape and compact mortar between bricks, ensuring a weather-tight seal and a polished aesthetic finish; however, users should be aware that consistent pressure control is required to maintain uniform joint depth across large brickwork surfaces.

This tool is specifically sized at 5/8 inch. While it can be used for narrower joints, it may not be effective for joints significantly wider than its blade width.
The handle is integrated for structural integrity; it is not designed to be removed or replaced.
Like most steel masonry tools, it can rust if exposed to moisture. Always clean and dry the tool completely before storage.
Use a mild soap and warm water with a damp cloth; avoid using strong solvents that may degrade the soft-touch material.
Yes, it is designed for both brick pointing and window pointing where mortar joints need to be filled and shaped.
Lightly dampen the blade with a sponge before pointing to reduce adhesion.
Maintain a consistent angle of attack and even pressure throughout the entire length of the joint.
Use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out any nicks and maintain a clean surface profile.
No specialized setup is required for this tool; simply ensure your mortar mix is at the correct consistency before beginning. The 5/8-inch blade width is compatible with standard masonry joints. To ensure the longevity of your pointer, clean the steel blade immediately after use to prevent mortar from hardening on the surface. Wipe with a damp cloth, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. For stubborn dried residue, use a soft-bristled wire brush, but avoid harsh grinding tools that could compromise the blade's smooth finish.
