Available as an attachment or an assembled system, the drill-driven Quikpoint Mortar Pointing Gun will deliver cement or lime mortars in a controlled and consistent manner. Compared to hand-operated skeleton guns, also known as mastic guns and grout guns, the Quikpoint process will usually be many times faster and more likely to achieve full joint filling. Time taken to load or charge the Quikpoint mortar hopper is significantly less than with mastic guns.  With properly mixed mortars, mix separation and clogging will not occur with the Quikpoint repointing system. The original Quikpoint mortar pointing gun was created over 30 years ago and thousands have been manufactured and distributed worldwide. 

Will the Quikpoint TURBO attachment fit on any drill?

The Quikpoint TURBO mortar pointing attachment can be fitted to a wide range of cordless drills with different options of mounting kits:

The multi-drill mounting kit fits onto the rear of most professional brands of cordless drills. It is less suited to economy and DIY drills. 

The Makita mounting kit is specific to model DHP 458Z

The Dewalt mounting kit can be fitted to models DCD 795, 796, 996 and 999.

What mortar can I use with the Quikpoint TURBO?

The Quikpoint TURBO repointing gun is suitable for cement or lime-based mortars.  We have found that our Medium Stuff will flow through the mortar gun however anything coarser than that with a larger aggregate such as our Coarse Stuff will not work. Of the hydraulic mortar mixes we stock we reccommend Seciltek's RJ as we have found it works very well.  Ecoright mortars are too gritty and do not flow well through the machine. If you are mixing yourself a maximum aggregate size of 3mm is reccomended. 

Will the Quikpoint TURBO repointing gun clog?

The Quikpoint TURBO mortar gun uses an auger to deliver the mortar to the pointing nozzle with very little pressure involved. In addition, there is a vibrator rod within the hopper, which agitates the mortar, before it reaches the auger. Due to the nature of lime mortars being generally more gritty and stiffer than cement mortars you may find that you have the odd occasion of clogging. To help maintain a free flowing gun we suggest ensuring the mortar is well mixed allowing it to flow better and if required making it slightly wetter than if pointing by hand. Another cause of clogging can be the vibrator rod not functioning properly – the latter is a simple mechanical arrangement so at worst, it will involve replacing a couple of worn parts

How much can I repoint in a day with a Quikpoint TURBO?

Many factors involved but repointing and ‘striking’ 20 square metres of regular brickwork per day is well within the reach of any competent person and users have reported figures far in excess of this. Quikpoint TURBO pointing guns are also widely used on newbuild facades with brick-slip systems – this application lends itself to particularly high productivity rates.  A Quikpoint TURBO hopper can also be filled in less than 10 seconds.

How long will a Quikpoint TURBO auger last?

The impossible question. Wear rate will depend upon the abrasiveness of the mortar. The Quikpoint TURBO mortar gun is fitted with a hardened steel auger. Few people comment on the wear rate or the replacement cost of an auger; many comment how the Quikpoint is so much faster than anything else they have used. The main wear part in a Quikpoint mortar gun is the auger. The auger fits inside a replaceable hard polythene sleeve; a sleeve typically lasts the life of three hardened augers. To maintain efficiency, the Vibrator Rod and Tube combination along with the associated Cam Roller are worth replacing on a regular basis.
