FAQs

What is the main purpose of the R.S.T. Tuck and Window Pointer?

Its main purpose is to create precise, clean, and uniform mortar joints between bricks, enhancing both the aesthetic appearance and weatherproofing of masonry.

What are the dimensions of the blade?

The blade measures 3/8 inches (10mm) in width and 6 inches (150mm) in length.

Can this tool be used for applying mortar?

No, this tool is designed for finishing and shaping existing mortar joints, not for applying fresh mortar.

Is the 3/8 inch blade size suitable for all brickwork?

The 3/8 inch (10mm) size is ideal for standard joint finishes. For different joint specifications, R.S.T. offers variants with 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch blades.

How do I maintain the tool for optimal performance?

Clean the blade thoroughly after each use with a brush or damp cloth, and store it in a dry location to prevent rust. Ensure the handle remains clean for a good grip.

What material is the blade made of?

The blade is made of durable steel.

Does the handle provide a good grip?

Yes, the tool is fitted with a soft-touch handle designed to provide a comfortable, non-slip grip for better control.

Troubleshooting

Uneven joints

Ensure consistent pressure is applied along the entire length of the joint. Check for any debris on the blade or in the mortar.

Mortar sticking to the blade

Clean the blade immediately after use. A light application of a non-stick masonry release agent might be considered for very sticky mortar, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Handle feels uncomfortable

Ensure you are holding the tool with a relaxed grip. The soft-touch handle is designed for comfort; adjust your grip if needed for better ergonomics.
