If you have ever used a caulk gun and found the dripping after you squeeze the trigger and apply the caulk, messy. Stress no more. This gun is drip-free. I highly recommend it. You will waste less caulk.

I've always had inexpensive caulk guns. You know the kind. The $3 guns from the home center that continue to pump out caulk at an alarming rate even after you've quit pulling the trigger?

Since I knew I was going to have to caulk all my home's windows (and there are a lot), and I knew a lot of the interior painting I'd planned on doing was going to require some caulking beforehand, I decided to "splurge" and buy a better caulk gun.

Oh my. I am so glad I did.

I used the gun the first time while prepping for a painting job, and it is so nice to have a gun that doesn't exude a thick stream of caulk when I stop pulling the trigger. No more frantically looking for the paper towel to set the end over. The ergonomic handle is another plus. I didn't think much of it, but I have small hands and repetitive stress problems, so it was a relief to find a gun that actually fit. I'd never realized how important that could be.

The other real plus is the permanently attached rod that pokes through the seal some caulking manufacturers have in their caulk tubes. That alone makes the gun worth the price. No more looking around for something long enough to break the seal. And no more wiping the tool off before the caulk gets hard. So nice to have.

So if it sounds like I'm thrilled with this caulk gun, you'd be right. I'm sure there are some negatives, but after always using the cheap guns, using this was just so nice. I won't go back to using the cheapest gun I can get my hands on.

Loving this silicone gun. Makes the average user look professional with its precision control and drip free system. Great value, why is this product not in Australia?
