Rockit Grout Gun

Zero5
Minneapolis, Minn.

Zeros Innovations' Rockit Grout Gun incorporates a semi-rigid tip, so grout is applied to joints similar to conventional caulking methods in that you smooth the grout joint as it is applied. This allows you to apply the mortar in one step, unlike grout bags where twice the amount of material as needed is applied and later removed when it starts to set up. Loading the Rockit is fast, with a hinged barrel that swings down to allow the use of a scoop. The barrel can also be detached and replaced with a fully loaded barrel, so production never has to stop.
