Pointing / Grouting Gun

Hi.
I've got a floor and tiles to lay and wondered if one fo these would make life easier and save me time.
Has anyone used one before?

Thanks,
Mandy

I have used one and I know friends that have tried. The one I had was a cox pointing gun and was useless. If you use mortar in it as soon as you squeeze the handles it forces water out of the end leaving the mortar in the gun. Everyone I spoke to had the same problem apart from one guy that mixed the mortar with plasticiser and made it really creamy- which probebly meant that the mortar would not be durable anyway.
