Troubleshooting
Jointer barrel does not fit the handle.
Ensure you are using a compatible interchangeable jointer tool handle. The barrels are designed for specific systems; check your handle's specifications.
Uneven or poor-quality mortar joints.
Ensure the barrel is clean and free from dried mortar. Check that the jointer handle is held at a consistent angle and pressure throughout the pass.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up, simply select the desired jointer barrel size (3/4 inch or 7/8 inch). Attach the selected barrel firmly to your compatible interchangeable brick jointer tool handle. Ensure it is securely locked in place before use.
Compatibility: These barrels are designed to fit most brands that utilize an interchangeable brick jointer system. It is recommended to verify your existing tool's compatibility with standard jointer barrel attachments.
