Pnu-Point re-pointing & grouting gun

[jamieviney]

What a load crap. I run a specialist pointing company working mainly on listed buildings using lime mortars, if our local conservation officer saw us using this they would shut the site down. What a load of shit. We see crap pointing like this all the time when we get called to rake the shit out and do a proper job.

@jamieviney

Thanks Jamie for your comments

The guys that invented this are brickies and they have done a mile of work with it and have had plenty of repeat work but perhaps what passes for a good job in one area doesn't in another. There are so many different styles and finishes. This is lime pointing as you can see but this mix is not for weaher struck just for smudge joints.

By the time you have cut all excess mortar away and waited all day for it to go off you could have done it with a pointing trowel! No wonder the trade is full of messy cowboys with shit like this on the market!

[mikesavad]

wouldn't a grout bag make more sense? no cords, hoses, electricity, etc. seems a bit excessive.

@TheCDIgroup

Shouldn't you have an apostrophe between the t and s?

[TheCDIgroup]

@bisthewhizz haha pointless but true lol

[freddyfourfinger84]

you'd be allright up a scaffold 50 feet up with a 25 litre compressor on your back to power the fuckin thing !!!!! lol

[drunkenbaker13]

Utter. Fucking. Shit. Lol, all the little caveats about correct air pressure, ideal mix etc, and usually having a guy following along 'striking off or ironing in'. ha ha.

I bet we see these advetised as home enama kits in a few years time.

Horsecrap at it's finest. I like the music though, smirk :-P

[super66craig]

Too messy and cannot be used with traditional lime restoration. It will require chemical washing afterwards. this gun is too fast

[gengiscanxxx]

this is a good job??????  hahahahahhahahahahahahha NO

[00BrownSa]

air bubbles in the mortar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[manofqwerty]

@jackal2071 Once the striking off is done, makes a beautiful job. Also helps if, unlike the person in the video, you can use the pnu-point gun.

[esjcollins]

its not that hard hes just crap!! ecpointingdotcom

[hanghoodiescum]

i would rather get a few polish dudes in lol

[chilliedogg]

i have a full house (new build) requires repointing as the bricky made a mess of the mixes. any out of work brickies interested, in the doncaster area. cash payment.

[bisthewhizz]

The air is at the top of the chamber and the mortar is at the bottom. When the mortat runs out you get a spat of air and it is time to refil

[brickclimber]

i wonder if it puts air in the mortar???

[charlotte762]

the mix required for this tool is way too wet for lime as the wetter the mix the weaker it is and it WILL crack and is useless.lime requires a stiff mix for pointing and definately never any admixes only water for the carbonation process!

[fripp81]

I love how they try and make this look so revolutionary. I thought it was going to be a Saturday Night Live skit when he opened the case and saw how big, cheep and awkward it looked.

[magnusalexa]

i can point a square metre of any type of brickwork in less than 3 mins, this gun wont beat that, plus you cant get it into awkward corners and under the roof overhang.

[bisthewhizz]

If you can point that fast then you don't need a gun but there aren't that many people who can work that fast all day. It would be really good to see a video of you at work. A lot of people struggle with pointing and this gun is for them. I agree with what you say about getting into corners. There is no tool that is perfect for every job.

[az13klf]

@magnusalexa So you mean to tell us that you can tuckpoint one thousand four hundred and forty square feet in a eight hour day!!! Surprised you're colleagues haven't beat the shit out of you just to slow you down a little bit.

[walls0stone]

if it's to easy.. it's wrong

[ChrisW12208]

I think you need a thinner tip so you can replace single bricks with it by putting new brink onto a bed of mortar and use the thin tip to put new mortar the rest of the way around the brick. pump the mortar into the backside. It would make that much easier :-)

[shamrock245]

iv'e never seen mortor like that b4? looked like foam..

[13R1CK4]

The thing i don't like about all pointing guns is that they use a wet mortar which is weaker when cured then a dryer mortar, they also will crack when curing from excess shrinkage. Guns don't pack the joint as well as traditional tuckpointing, making air cavities between the new and existing bloodline.

[Heldenheim]

Oh well I guess this a good idea but it doesn't look very tidy. Would need alot of clean up after, especially on light coloured stone with all the smearing etc.

[bisthewhizz]

Yes that is the case, the air stays at the top of the vessel and there is an air release valve so it doesn't over-pressure the container. That maintaines a nice gentle bit of pressure in the container to push the mortar (gobo in your language) out of the nozzle when you press the trigger.

[carbonlarge]

Looks good to me.. On the air in the in the gobbo point of view, I'm presuming the air is only pushing the gobbo out, and not actually being intergrated into the mix..
