This is the basic format of a brick rake. Different companies will vary this design slightly.
Brick rake skate wheels
The skate wheels are hard wearing wheels that move along the bricks as the robust pin rakes out mortar.
Brick rake spade bolt
The spade bolt is twisted to secure the robust pin in place.
Brick rake robust pin
The robust pin can be moved up and down by twisting the spade bolt to release the pin and then tightening it back up to secure the pin. The flat end of the robust pin sticks out into the mortar and the sharp point sticks up out the top of the brick rake.
Brick rake handle
The aluminium handle is gripped in the operator’s hand and runs parallel to the mortar.
This type of design with a curved end allows the brick rake to double up as a ‘brick joint trowel’ which you run along freshly laid mortar before it sets to neaten up the joint.
