Marshalltown Joint Raker, Masonry, 8 1/2 x 3 Inch, Aluminum, Made in The USA, 89

Great tool, there are other ideas on the market but this is 100% user friendly and helped me repoint a wall with ease

This tool works great. After the mortar sets up a bit, you do the vertical joints first, then the horizontal joints. You set the height of the nail head the appropriate depth. Just make sure to clean it thoroughly after each use. I watched a British tutorial on this and the presenter didn't know which end to use. If done correctly you don't need to use a jointer following this.

Reliably well made, though you’ll probably have to grab a 16 penny if you’re looking to rake back more than a 1/4”. Aside from that it’s solid as can be.

Es de muy buena calidad

Item was a gift, and it was well accepted.

Makes raking joints much easier.

Not for someone like me with weak arms. You have to have a lot of strength to make this work. I cleaned up cracked mortar in a brick wall, using mallet and brick chisel, and was able to then successfully replace the mortar and then clean up the wall well. But I was NOT able to make this work for clearing out old mortar, because 2 reasons: 1) I have muscle atrophy and arthritis, weakness, and 2) like one other reviewer wrote somewhere, the nail that sits in this piece to scrape out the mortar is very short. The manufacturing is quality, but the function is questionable. It probably works well for completely broken up crumbling mortar, not mortar that is just cracked here & there.
