Axminster have some from Armeg.

The mortar rake on this page looks like it would be used with the
hammer
action only.

The other tools lower on the page look useful to me as there are
some bricks
that are badly damaged.

Screwfix also sell this which seems a more usable tool.

Arthur,

I've used the one you quote from Axminster (though I got it from
Screwfix !) when I had to 'let in' 25 foot of lead flashing when I
built an attached garage. Absolutely brillient tool on my 1905 lime
mortared but cement pointed flank wall - took out a suitable depth
without damaging the bricks as I had feared it might. As I have a
valley against the house access was very limited hence not fancying
using a lump hammer and bolster. On an SDS drill on hammer only it was
a piece of cake.
