Grooving jointers have rounded blades to shape mortar joints into curves and compress mortar to strengthen joints. Each end has a different-sized blade to match different joint sizes.

Smoothing jointers compress mortar to strengthen joints and create flat joints that sit flush with surfaces. Also known as slicker jointers, they are commonly used to backfill joints for repair and reinforcement.

Wheeled joint rakers roll along surfaces and shave excess mortar out of joints. Also known as skate wheel joint rakers, they have an adjustable nail to set the raking depth.

Standard joint rakers clear excess mortar from joints on small surface areas. Their blade rakes straight joints, and their tabs rake corners.
