There’s no doubt that we live in a disposable society. We’re constantly being bombarded with advertisements for the newest and most innovative mortar pointing gun on the market. But are these mortar pointing gun really worth our hard-earned money? Some of them definitely are if you can choose carefully! But others…not so much. 3. When should I buy a new mortar pointing gun ? Quikpoint highlights - to maintain the integrity and weatherproofing of a structure, it is important that mortar joints are of sufficient depth, have no hidden voids and are adequately compressed and sealed. The Quikpoint Mortar Pointing Gun is a convenient and effective joint filling system, used by Masonry and Pointing Contractors yet suitable for less skilled operatives and competent DIYers. The Quikpoint Pointing Gun is consistently faster than trowel filling and more likely to achieve full joint penetration. It is physically less demanding than hand-held pointing guns (also known as caulking or mastic guns) which rely on hand-generated pressure and hence are prone to causing Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). A few seconds with the Quikpoint scoop vs unscrewing and withdrawing plunger, filling narrow tube, refitting plunger etc. The design materials and components are all selected for durability and longevity: the Pnu-Point is incredibly reliable and long lived.We take into account factors including the impact of this product on our life and how we will feel when using this. Comfort We supply more than 60% of Quikpoints as attachments (without a drill) and rarely get queries regarding drill suitability. But we are available to advise and assist if required.

It is physically less demanding than hand-held pointing guns (also known as caulking or mastic guns) which rely on hand-generated pressure and hence are prone to causing Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). They realised they had to eliminate the causes of breakdown, something simple was required, with as few moving, wearing parts as possible. They tried the manual "mastic gun" approach, but pistons cause friction and hence wear. and were very hard on the wrist. So this approach was disgarded. A peumatic powered mastic gun was the next attempt, but wear on the piston and segregation of water from the mortar caused by the pressure led to failure.

Quikpoint TURBO Pointing attachment on a Makita DHP458Z 18 volt Cordless drill (see below regarding Batteries and Charger) About Quikpoint PLUS - we have created the new PLUS configuration by the addition of a strengthened auger which has been hardened (heat-treated) to provide greater wear resistance. The hardened auger has been available as a replacement item for some time and is proven to last significantly longer than the previous factory-fitted standard auger. Handheld pointing guns are a popular alternative to repointing with a mortar hawk and trowel. They are relatively low cost, lightweight and require no power (other than a strong wrist). So, what’s better about the Quikpoint approach? Suitable for extremely fast self compacting aplication, with no delays or waiting (or additional costs!), even in continuously wet weather and at colder temperatures. This is because as the material can be applied in the rain - and in cold (non-freezing) conditions it can still be applied and will continue to cure when temperatures increase above 8-10 degrees C.Choose the mortar pointing gun made with only the finest materials, and it’s been precision-engineered to meet your needs. Quikpoint permits fast and consistent joint filling to realistic depths across a range of joint widths, with little effort. Makita DHP458Z drill accessories - Side handle; Depth stop bar; Belt clip (loose); screwdriver bits x 2 (loose) The three most important factors to consider when selecting the most popular products are price, quality, and popularity. The QUIKPOINT DRILL-MATE MORTAR GUN is easily mounted to all 3/8 inch variable speed drills, corded or un-corded. With its auger drive and hardened steel tip-blades (to prevent plugging and vibrator feed), the DRILL_MATE can handle standard and pre-mixed mortars and makes anyone an expert pointer. The Quikpoint is a definite time and money saver. Just scoop mortar in to the 3 quart capacity hopper, pull the trigger on the drill and a continuous controlled bead of mortar can be applied up to 5 times faster than conventional pointing methods, to any masonry application.

for clients who already have Makita cordless products, with a 'naked' DHP458Z drill (no batteries or charger) Quikpoint will hold more mortar than the typical mastic gun - typically 2L-3L - so fewer stops to refill. Finally the idea of a vertical tool with the mortar being its own piston was tried and it worked like a dream! The Pnu-Point Pointing tool was here! litre (5 gallon) air storage tank. This size of compressor will maintain a steady air pressure and will run for about 1 minute in 5. This is well within the duty cycle of most compressors, so it will run cool and have an extended working life.

Battery drills - a corded mains drill will always deliver better performance but there are numerous instances of battery drills being attached to Quikpoints. Handy for restricted or challenging jobs such as repointing chimneys. The way a mortar pointing gun is designed and manufactured and the material it is made of are key attributes indicating how durable it will be. Choose the best mortar pointing gun that has the ability to withstand wear, pressure, or damage. New in May 2023, the TURBO auger will fit any Quikpoint device supplied after 2012. It differs from the previous Quikpoint PLUS auger in having a revised pitch and a reducing diameter spiral that extends all the way to the nozzle tip. This results in more powerful mortar delivery and the ability to process stiffer and more gritty mixes. The tip blade set previously required with with the Quikpoint PLUS auger is not needed with the TURBO auger. You can determine whether you need or want a mortar pointing gun by identifying whether you have a similar item. It is probably not something you need and you should reconsider buying it. You could use the money from selling the other item you have to buy the new one if you just can’t let it go. Final Thoughts
