Quickpoint Mortar Gun Drill Adaptor - Perfect For tuckpointing, brick work, stone work, thin brick, grouting, crack repair, and glass block

Was actually using it when I got the email to review this item. I use it with quartz lock 2 rapid cure grout. Works great on walls and floors! I believe I got from contractors direct. Came 4 days earlier than estimated arrival. Currently doing a bigger tile job with it, 5 showers, 6 bathrooms and a larger floor area. This tool has been a great time saver and actually works better than I'd hoped it would. I use an 18v makita drill on speed 1. And you can feather the trigger when needed. Definitely the answer to urathane grouting! Squirt it, swipe it with a float, and wipe with a damp sponge and it's done! No messy, hazy cleanup! Just be careful of hard clumps in the grout. They can plug the end up, but not a big issue to work around. Sounded a little pricy to me when I ordered it, but definitely worth it! At least 5 times faster and way easier than a baker's bag! Comes with a few different tips, one angled one that works great on floors. And if you have running water on site, cleaning it is relatively easy. If you're considering giving this a try, do yourself a huge favor and buy it! If I had just one small job to do with it, I would buy it just for that alone.

I bought this to aid in finishing out a natural stone wall I’ve been building and to do some re-tucking on an old stone building I own. So far, this has worked well. No complaints at all. It was easy to set up, use, and clean. The price is definitely steep, but I’ve learned over the years you get what you pay for. It’s worth the price because it’s a serious tool well designed and built to last. More than anything, it makes a hard job easier.

Very good mortor gun. It works real well for larger gap mortor joints. SPRAY.ALL JOINTS BEFORE STARTING THE JOINT FILLING PROCESS Keep the mortor like a cold yogurt. If the drill starts to slow down empty the fill hopper back into the mixing container add some water and remix to a free flowing consistency.I was a first timer and I caught on pretty quick. While using the gun run the drill at low or med. speed allow the mortor to almost bulge out of the joint seam. MORTOR WILL DRIP LEAVE IT ALONE MOVE ON. The mortor will fill due to the guns filling pressure. I used a table spoon to smooth it out when it was about to set (touch it and it should press down easy but not leak water). Don't worry about it getting ahead of you just have a spray bottle of water and spray joints ahead of your work. Remember to spray the joints with water before you start to gun in the mortor work. Allow the joint to set 1 to 2 hr on 70 degree +days. Then use a small wire brush to smooth the joints and scrub of the drips.Remember mortor will still work even after it starting to set. Your spray bottle will allow even finer detail with a mason's brush. It will resemble a tighter joint look and feel. Good Luck

We applied 360 square feet of Thinbrick(tm) to a townhouse interior wall. The job of mortar-jointing that much brick was doable, but daunting using most common techniques. The Quickpoint mortar gun, really reduced the time and produced a MUCH neater job than I could have sustained using a mortar bag or pointing tools e.g.: Bon 14-394 23-Inch by 12-Inch Heavy Duty Vinyl Grout Bag , MARSHALLTOWN The Premier Line 45 5SD 5-Inch Heavy Duty pointing trowel . At the price point, the mortar gun is not worth its expense for a small job - a fireplace for example - but will almost certainly allow a DIY'er to produce a neater and much quicker job for a large area. If it's not apparent, you connect your own 3/8" drill to the mortar gun. I just used the chuck, despite the option of removing the chuck. An ac drill will be best - the load on a dc, battery driven drill would be torture. There is a Quickpoint video on YouTube that is worth a watch, if you are new to this tool. I caution NOT to pay too much attention to the mix density that it recommends for the tool (search YouTube using "Quickpoint mortar tool ContractorsDirect"). We found that it is easy to (nearly) burn up an electric drill if the mixture is too thick (as they demonstrate). The whole process works best if a joint-compound like thickness is mixed. The auger drives it more reliably, the drill does not labor and overheat and the mortar forms nicely with a strike tool after a few minutes of set up. Too loose, of course, will produce a runny mess with mortar slurry stains all over the brick face. Thoroughly clean the tool after each use! Highly recommended tool - if the job is large enough to justify the price. After finishing, I sold mine on E Bay for half what I paid for it: the buyer got an almost new gun and I halved my outlay. Both parties came away happy.

This tool will save you time and painful hands! I was impressed by how well it injects the mortar. I used this tool to grout about 3000 sq ft of split faces field stone. It was around 75 80lbs bags of mortar. If this tool only last for one big job it is well worth it! Also, this tool is fast. I was able to grout a full bag of mortar in about 15 to 20 minutes. This tool never clogged and was easy to clean. Note, clean this tool anytime it is going to set for more than 10 minutes and don't set the injection tip in dry mortar powder or any thing that will cause mortar to set quickly (just like a mortar bag).

Obviously this tool was not designed by someone who is a college graduate - it works and it works well. Very impressed, saves a lot of time. Make sure that water is run through the gun before filling it with mortar, otherwise it will clog up. And, mix mortar a bit soupy. Every so often rinse gun with clean water, it just takes a few seconds, before adding more mortar and it will work like a charm. A 3/8 in. Variable Speed Reversible Close Quarters Drill from Harbor Freight shortens the overall length of the tool and makes it easy to handle. Thanks, really good product.

Nice idea. Works ok. Terrible quality control. After only 45 more minutes of use tool failed. Two set screws fell out and disabled the shaft. Poor.

I've successfully used this to inject structural grout (SikaGrout 212) into hollow concrete blocks. It worked really well and using a vibration tool ensured a void free fill. I used a 12v battery drill, with the original chuck. Had plenty of battery life so it's not drawing a lot of power. You MUST use a modified grout that is designed to be mixed to a slurry. The SikaGrout I used can be thinned with additional water without loosing strength.

Incredible that the new cordless or drill holder came with it. Wasn’t expecting that. Looking for years to find a better holder, and I think this one nailed it.

Best ever repointing tool

Very sloppy packaging, seems like it was used and was sitting in the back of a dusty warehouse for years. However, the product does work.
