To our view, installing caulking is an arduous and time consuming task. The use of pneumatic or battery powered tools for installing caulking has been a trade off we've been juggling between the cost and maintenance of the tool versus the time and effort potentially saved doing the work. In our case, faced with a job installing a lot of caulking from standard sized cartridges, it justified the expense of finding an alternative to conventional "hand squeeze" caulking guns.

We purchased the Cooper Tools, "Caulk Master pg110", air powered caulking gun, to replace a cheaper air caulking gun, the "Campbell Hausfeld PL 1558", that we first purchased but would not push tubes of 3M marine caulking that we needed to install.

The "Caulk Master pg110", is an air powered caulking gun that allows cranking up the air pressure to a maximum of 100 p.s.i., much higher than most of the pneumatic caulking guns on the market. The "Caulk Master" is a lighter tool compared to the "Campbell Hausfeld", is nicely machined, has a larger and easier to squeeze trigger, and has a three foot air hose "pigtail" ready to accept a 1/4 quick disconnect coupling. The good news for us is that the "Caulk Master pg110" pushes the heavier 3M Marine Caulking with ease (cranked up to around sixty p.s.i.). The "Caulk Master pg110" was more expensive than the Campbell Hausfeld unit, but hopefully will give many good years of service.

With a wide variety of air pressure settings available, the "Caulk Master pg110" will likely push silicon, elastomeric, and thick butyl rubber caulking, as well as construction adhesives, with no problem.

On problem we've noted about the "Caulk Master pg110" is that the outside tube holder (the part that comes off to insert the caulking tube), is hard to reinstall back onto the base of the gun once you add the caulking cartridge. The circular bottom of the caulking tube fits tightly against a rubber gasket in the gun body that seals the entering air pressure, but putting the thing back together after installing a new caulking cartridge requires a lot of pressure, to the point where we wound up putting the back of the gun against the floor in between our shoes for lateral support of the gun base, and then pushing the tube cover and caulking cartridge into the base using our body weight! It takes a surprising amount of force to get the component parts to mate and lock together.

The extra pressure that was needed to install caulking tubes could be because the tool is new and needs to be broken in, or it could be because of the potential higher operating air pressure of the pg110, requiring tighter fitting components. For us, this is not a deal breaker, but be aware that if all the Cooper "Caulk Master pg110" guns are this hard to load with caulking, and if it doesn't "break in" and get easier with time, you will need a couple of good strong arms to install the caulking cartridges into the caulking gun.

Cooper Tools provides a detailed parts list and it appears that parts for this tool are readily available, so as things wear out the Caulk Master can likely be kept working for many years to come.

Caulk Master Professional Air Powered Dispensing Gun

Like many people, for me, caulking used to rank right up there with root canals.

Manual guns produced results that could best be described as "Pollock-esque". The Black and Decker unit was SLOW, produced an annoying whine/groan/shriek the whole time, ate batteries like some massive battery eating thing, and ... did I mention SLOW? I tried a Kobalt pneumatic unit. The best that could be said is that it was only $28. It was rated at 60 psi, but even at 60 psi, the unit could barely push out a bead of silicone caulk. Oh wait, it did have another redeeming feature, it was over 90 degrees outside and the pressure relief valve produced a powerful cooling breeze even when the compressor was set to produce only 30 psi.

I finally broke down and bought the Caulk Master PG110. I should not have waited. When you press the trigger, you get a perfect bead. When the trigger is released, the caulk stops. So simple, yet apparently so difficult to accomplish.

If you have a compressor and have more than the most minute amount of caulking to do, this is the tool to get.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very useful and effective tool for bulk work., December 1, 2011

After destroying my forearm pumping adhesive as part of installing a room's worth of wainscoting, it occurred to me that there has to be a better way. Sure enough - air power. After reading the reviews, I went with this 'pro' grade model.

The good. It's well constructed, easy enough to use and load (though on some cartridges I stood it up on a table so I could put my weight into pushing the cylinder down, and is effortless to use when compared to a manual gun. Plus, the fact that you're not squeezing a handle allows you to run a straight bead much more easily. It's rated to 100 psi, but 40 was more than enough to run a bead of panel adhesive, and 15-20 is all I needed for caulk. So, I doubt there's anything that comes in a standard caulk-size tube that it can't handle.

The less-good. It's not optimal for finer work or very small beads. There's no variability in the trigger, which acts as a relief vent when held half-way down, so the flow rate is uniform, and dependent on the pressure you set your compressor. I also encountered problems with "dribbling" of caulk when I put the gun down. This was attributable to air bubbles in the caulk tubes, and once those bubbles cleared, the problem went away, but it's still a pain, and not as easily managed as with a manual gun where you can pull back the plunger.

Still, it certainly made life a LOT easier for the bulk work - panel and moulding adhesive, and long runs of caulk. It won't fully replace a manual gun, but it certainly complements it very well, and if you have a large or frequent projects, it will save you time and muscle strain.
