the best tool is one of those wheelie things with a nail in it? Rather than

I've also seen a sort of sealant gun for mortar

Are these any good? Bit wary after spending money on a Durgun which was
useless (I know its for a different application).



Tried both, and couldn't get on with them. I used a drill bit for the
mortar removal, which worked as well as anything for me. This kind of thing

You can drill a hole and then drag it along at an angle. Bounces around
a bit but never goes out of control
