Thanks for the clip, your the first person to explain the use of the little dome adapter, a lot of tradesmen, can’t comprehend how little us amateurs know, thank you
Looks great, I have a lot of stonework to repoint so i'm tempted to buy this instead of the regular RN mortar gun. If you use it for grouting tiles, does the mix have to made thinner than normal? Also do the nuts stay tight, or can they work loose during a long job? Look forward to you reply, thanks :)
Hi James, With the mixture we recommend: soft build sand mixed 3-4 parts sand to 1 part cement and 1 plasticizer used to bind the mix together to ensure a smooth, creamy texture. Please note that sharp building sand must be never used. I assume you are talking about the nuts on the washer screw? If so once tightened sufficiently they will stay tight. Thanks
Hi James, if you pop onto www.toolbank.com you can order one for delivery or find a retailer close to you. I'd suggest giving them a call before you go in the current climate ;)
Ive owned 2 of these and they failed after pointing a gable. After that they just played up and no spring back pressure absolutely useless. The only way to do it is to price a brand new one on each large pointing job.. then throw it away
Could easily be made twice the size. Less re filling and easier to fill. No idea why they were mot made bigger. But stick to pointing by hand your own hands and skill level will never let you down unlike this gun

When you do get it... make sure you use soft sand or it just won't work properly!
Screwfix

Dont bother mate they are shit for pointing. Only last one - two jobs max then they fail
