The tool is used for removing excess mortar and for smoothing the remaining mortar. The tool has an elongated tool body having a medial portion forming a handle therefor. A sled bar for smoothing the mortar is attached at both ends of the handle. The sled bar has curved end portions extending from the handle and a runner portion therebetween. Further, a rake and carriage assembly attached at one end of the enlongated tool body includes, in turn, a rake and carriage support attached to one end of the elongated tool body; a pair of wheels attached to the support with one of the pair of wheels on each side of the support for supporting the tool body and sled bar means during travel across the face of the brickwork. An adjustable rake is attached to and extends from the support, which rake is adjustable to a predetermined depth in to the joints. Upon application and in a single movement of the tool along the joint between two courses of brick, the combination tool simultaneously rakes the joint with the adjustable rake and smooths the joint with the runner.
