Mortar Raking Bits

About Mortar Raking Bits

Primarily designed for removing old, crumbling, or perished mortar from between bricks or stonework, mortar raking bits enable you to “rake” it out to a uniform depth. You can also use them to cut around damaged bricks in order to extract them, or to create openings for vents and pipes.

Mortar raking bits are more suitable than mortar raking blades for certain jobs. For example, if you need to reach into vertical joints or access brickwork located behind pipes, you’ll find that a bit is less awkward than a blade. 

They’re also suited to working on delicate or valuable masonry such as natural stone, as they’re less likely to slip and cause accidental damage. Aside from mortar removal, they can help you create neat channels into soft materials for installing wires or cables.
