This appears to be a well designed product, complete with flow control, however, it would be much more useful in a quart sized model to facilitate subfloor & drywall applications where the movement of larger amounts of material are necessitated.

The Ridgid Air Powered Caulk Gun is a must have especially if you want to impress your home improvement friends. I can honestly say I can't think of a negative thing to say about the product. On the positive side not only is there zero hand fatigue you can extrude long runs of caulk around door, windows, etc. in a controlled manner. It makes very smooth tool free joints and performs flawlessly.

I wanted to caulk the openings between the foundation of our house and the frame of the house to keep scorpions and other pests out. They like to get into these openings and eventually into your house. This meant doing several hundred feet of caulking and I was not looking forward to doing that with my manual caulk gun. I saw this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. It works great! It's easy to use and, with a little practice, you can run a nice controlled flow of caulk. It's very easy to set up the variable flow rate so that it dispenses the amount of caulk that you need. I look forward to using it on smaller caulking jobs around the house.

At first I was hesitant to buy a pneumatic caulk gun; didn't think my residential use of it would justify it. But the price being so right, I tried it.

Wow, how'd I get along without it? If you have a compressor or air tank, this tool lets you concentrate on perfecting the bead. I went through 5 tubes of caulk the first couple of hours I used it.

It was designed quite well, heavy plastic body makes cleanup a breeze. If I HAD to find something wrong, I'd say I'm a little surprised they didn't include a fold-out puncture pin. But with the time this baby saves me, I'm glad to carry a piece of wire!!

VERY pleased--I might be ready for winter weather for a change this year.
