Bon Tool 11-865 Double Slicker Joint Tool 3/8 X 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The BON TOOL 11-865 is a double-end slicker joint tool built for masons working brick, block, stone, and veneer installations. The tool features two different joint profiles on opposing ends - 3/8 inch on one side and 1/2 inch on the other - eliminating the need to swap tools when switching between joint sizes. The body is constructed from hardened high carbon steel with a plated finish that reduces drag across fresh mortar. At 10 5/8 inches in length and 1/8 inch thick, the tool offers a balanced grip and enough rigidity to compress and shape mortar joints consistently under daily jobsite conditions. Licensed masons and experienced tile and masonry contractors are the primary users.

The 11-865 is suited for residential and light commercial masonry work where mortar joint uniformity is a finish requirement. Common applications include new brick and block laying, stone and veneer wall installations, and tuck-pointing repairs on existing mortar joints. The dual-profile design is particularly useful on jobs where multiple joint widths appear in the same run or where the spec calls for both 3/8 inch and 1/2 inch struck joints. The compact overall length fits comfortably in a tool pouch for field use.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose masonry joint finishing tool for use with standard brick, block, stone, and veneer mortar joints requiring 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch profiles.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed masons and masonry contractors during mortar joint finishing, typically while mortar is in its initial set stage before full cure. Work the slicker end along the joint in a single smooth pass to compress and profile the mortar cleanly. Keep the tool clean between uses to prevent hardened mortar buildup that can affect joint profile consistency. No power tools or special equipment are required.
