Tuck Pointers, Finger Trowels, or Window Trowels
Tuck pointers or tuck pointing trowels (USA) or finger or window trowels (UK) are the smallest and least versatile masonry trowels. However, they are essential for their task, to fill a joint with mortar when doing repair work. Since tuck pointers must go inside joints of any width, the trowels are made in widths of 1/8" increments from 1/4" to 1", plus a narrow 3/16". The best tuck pointers are forged from one piece of steel and taper ground.
