Product Information

Full details

The Faithfull Prestige Tuck Pointer (FAI004) is designed for professional bricklayers and serious DIY enthusiasts who require precision when finishing joints between brick courses. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-quality, taper-ground chrome vanadium steel blade and an ergonomic handle that allows for comfortable, long-term use in demanding masonry projects; however, users should note that the 13mm blade width is specific and may not be suitable for wider masonry joints without additional techniques.

FAQs

What is the blade size of this tool?

The blade measures 175mm by 13mm (7 x 1/2 inches).

Is this tool suitable for beginners?

Yes, its ergonomic handle and design make it very accessible for beginners, though practice is required to achieve professional mortar finishes.

Does the tool come with a warranty?

Yes, it includes a 10-year guarantee from Faithfull covering material and manufacturing defects.

Can I use this for wide joints?

What material is the blade made of?

The blade is forged from high-quality chrome vanadium steel.

Troubleshooting

Mortar sticking to the blade

Ensure the blade is clean and slightly damp before beginning application to reduce friction.

Surface rust appearing on the blade

Use a fine-grit abrasive pad to remove surface oxidation and apply a thin layer of protective oil after cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable chrome vanadium steel construction
  • Excellent ergonomic design reduces fatigue
  • High lift feature protects knuckles
  • 10-year manufacturer guarantee
  • Balanced flexibility for precise application

Cons

  • Fixed 13mm blade width limits versatility on non-standard joints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no complex setup required for this tool; it is ready to use straight out of the box.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: Always clean the blade thoroughly with water and a stiff brush immediately after use to prevent mortar from hardening on the steel.
  • Storage: Dry the tool completely after cleaning to prevent oxidation. If storing for long periods, apply a light coat of machine oil to the blade.
  • Handling: While the blade is strong, avoid using it as a lever or a chisel, as this can bend or damage the precision taper.
