When you're laying block, brick, or cinder block, consistent mortar joints are what make the wall look straight and solid. Masonry mortar joint spacers sit between courses to hold the gap while the mortar sets. For a DIY project, the key decision is simply how many spacers to buy: 100 or 500. Both are described for use with cement, concrete, cinder block, and brick, so the choice comes down to project size and how much you want to spend upfront.
Quick verdict
If you're tackling a small wall, a few courses, or a repair, the 100-pack is the lighter commitment. If you're building a full wall or working across multiple sections, the 500-pack keeps you working without needing a second order. Since the per-spacer price is the same, you're not being charged a premium for buying fewer spacers, nor are you getting a per-spacer price break for buying more. Your project size is the deciding factor.
| Product | Listed Price | Quantity | Price Bar |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500 MASONRY MORTAR JOINT SPACER'S | $100.00 | 500 | |
| 100 MASONRY MORTAR JOINT SPACER'S | $20.00 | 100 |
Where each product wins
- The 500-pack wins when you expect to lay a lot of block or brick. With the larger pack in hand, you can cover long walls and multiple courses without pausing to reorder. It is the correct scale for a full DIY wall project.
- The 100-pack wins when you need a handful of spacers for a small step, a repair, or a first-time layout. It costs less upfront and leaves less material to store after the job.
Product notes
500 MASONRY MORTAR JOINT SPACER'S
This pack contains 500 spacers, sold as 25 packs of 20, and is listed at $100.00. That works out to the same per-spacer price as the 100-pack, so you're not paying extra for the convenience of having more. The advantage is obvious: you can keep laying without stopping. The limitation is the higher upfront price; if your project is small, you'll have a lot of spacers left over. This size makes sense for a wall or a series of courses where the number of spacers needed will match the quantity on hand.
100 MASONRY MORTAR JOINT SPACER'S
This pack contains 100 spacers, sold as 5 packs of 20, and is listed at $20.00. The plus side is a lower initial cost and less to carry around. For a weekend project that only needs a few courses, this is enough and you won't have a big bag of leftover spacers. The trade-off is that 100 spacers will not go as far; a longer wall may require another pack. If you're just getting started with a small block or brick job, this smaller quantity is a way to keep the initial expense modest.
Final choice by use case
Choose the 500-pack if you are building a wall, laying several courses, or have multiple walls to complete. Choose the 100-pack if you are doing a small repair, a short run, or simply want the lowest listed price to get started. If you're unsure of the size, start with the 100-pack, because you can always order more if the project grows.
