Bon Tool Joint Raker - RHINOBUILD - 11-327

This tool is designed for typical cementitious mortars used in brick and stone masonry. Its effectiveness can vary slightly with the wetness and aggregate size of the mortar.

While it's primarily designed for clearing fresh mortar, it may assist in loosening some dried mortar, but specialized chisels or rakes are usually more effective for demolition work.

It's best to clean off excess mortar immediately after each use to prevent it from hardening on the tool, which can affect its performance and lead to corrosion over time.

A raker blade, in this case, is designed to scrape and clear material from a groove or joint. The offset design helps to actively move the cleared material away from the joint.

No, this tool is specifically designed for working with mortar joints in masonry construction, not for applying or finishing stucco or render.

The 3/8" tabs on both ends are designed to help you precisely rake mortar in corners and edges, ensuring a clean and consistent finish in those critical areas.

Made from heavy gauge steel, this tool is built for durability. With proper care and maintenance, it should provide many years of reliable service for its intended masonry tasks.

Ensure the blade is held at the correct angle relative to the mortar joint. The offset design works best when the tool is pulled or pushed with a slight tilt. Check if the mortar is too wet or too dry, as consistency affects raking.

Verify you are using the correct pulling or pushing motion. The lightweight design should minimize fatigue; ensure your grip is comfortable and allows for controlled movement.

Make sure the tool is properly aligned with the corner angle. The 3/8" tabs are designed for standard corner depths; ensure your joint size is compatible.
