Questions & Answers

Does this gun have any properties that make Are you just using it because it's easy to remember?

My job as a professional painter requires me to use that caulk gun all the time since it has less drips than any other I have Dripping doesn't occur 100% of the time. You will need to consider the caulk type and branded you are using. The Sherwin Williams 1050QD is my favorite color Drying caulk is quick drying. There is more thickness to it than most caulks, so it may take some time to get If you want to keep your hands clean, keep a bucket filled with water and a sponge or rag in it. When placing the caulk, immediately to hand trowel it with your index finger dipped in It works very well as long as you keep your finger wet and clean. In terms of the gun, it is Not a drip to be found. A caulk gun is the only caulk gun I would use. Please accept my thanks for your assistance.

There's no way to get rid of drips The video was uploaded to the In a nutshell This is not a dripless system
3/5

You may be better off looking somewhere else if dripless is very important to you. When I returned and tried the yellow CH200 paint gun that my house painters had been using, it truly was With the ETS2000 composite gun, it feels nice in the hand, the barrel rotates smoothly, caulk will not stick to it so it stays clean, and if anything is ever oozed out the back end, it easily peels off so that's another this gun dribbles, which is not what I value the most. A video showing this with the very common Alex Plus caulk can be viewed here. Its length is also longer than others, all of which include the CH200 gun. The handle portion of the gun is also longer than some others. It is more difficult to maneuver in tight spaces because of this. I had to use a putty knife to loosen the nozzle cleaning rod from its mounting because it is also very tightly clicked in.

I am grateful to another reviewer for pointing me in the right direction
5/5

The Dripless ETS 2000 caulk gun is so easy to use, I wish I could use an emoji 2 thumbs up to indicate how much I recommend it. I couldn't use our old metal caulk gun due to arthritis. Those with weak or arthritic hands should know this caulk gun requires so little pressure to squeeze that it actually felt like I wasn't pressing the trigger at all. A bonus is the ability to cut the tip off of the caulk tube with the built-in slicer. The caulk gun, even without the sharpener, is worth it without it. I've only used two tubes, so I don't know how long it will remain sharp.

A decent caulking gun, but it's not perfect
3/5

While well made, this caulking gun is still far from perfect. The mechanism releases pressure from the cartridge when the trigger is released, so that the tube doesn't continue to be pressured and pressed. The problem is that this makes it difficult to apply enough pressure to thicker caulks as well. When the rod is under high pressure, it simply doesn't move. It does not matter how thin the caulk, it drips. It hangs nicely off the wall and is easy to load. The puncture rod is just long enough for some caulk tubes, but not quite long enough for some professional caulks with long nozzles. I am still looking for a good.

The money is well spent
5/5

In a nutshell As a professional and a tradesperson, let me first start off by saying I do not have any experience. As a DIYer, I take pride in my work. There is actually quite a bit of capacity in the caulk gun. It is slightly bigger than the There is a home depot gun for $00 that fits the same size standard caulk tubes (10). It weighs approximately 1 ounce. A full 360 degrees of rotation without stopping is achieved by the barrel (yellow part). Though this could be handy, I didn't need to turn the yellow tube because the caulk tube I used spun inside the barrel without any issues. Where you put your hand is covered with some rubber on the back of the handle. Located on the left of the picture is a tube nozzle cutter. On the right, there is a long metal rod used to punch out the tube coming out of the fresh-cut It folds down and locks into place (I don't know what you call it in the real world). It's simply a matter of pulling the handle or thick metal rod from the back to load it. In order to carry out this task, you'll need to use more force than you would with a cheapo one. I think five pounds of force would be enough. You cannot release it with a lever like on a cheapo model. The tension remains on the rod with the friction washer, yet you can push it back somewhat forcefully by pushing it against the rubber washer. prevents the tube from continuously squirting out contents as the rod slips backward when you release the trigger. It also eases the pressure inside the tube, which allows the tube to slip backwards when you release the trigger. Honestly, I feel this rubber washer could be one of those wear items that finally fails after a certain amount of time. I believe 5 or 10 years would be about right for me. The only way to know is through time. That rubber washer does not push the rod forward, but rather a metal lever that looks like one of those As a result, even if the rubber wears, this should not affect the intended purpose as when you release the trigger, the pressure on the trigger is When you squeeze the tube, there is a good deal of force applied to it, and when you release the trigger, the pressure is released on the tube and the lid stops dispensing, so it drips. A lesser amount. You could potentially lose material if you have it hanging out because gravity is at work. As I observed the gun in action, this is how I perceived the situation to be. It's interesting to note that, when you lightly squeeze the trigger and release it, you can actually see some caulk actually suck back onto the nozzle as It is my opinion that this is a tool worth spending the money on. Despite not using a towel, I caulked the base board on my stairwell (both sides) without leaving any stains After smoothing out the caulk in the crease, the only cleanup I had to do was to wash my finger. I said the gun is 10 in the video, then 6 then 4 in the video. Please see the video (yes, I moved the gun up to 10, then 6 then 4). The Cheapo Guns Run 2 is up and running as of this posting. Home Depot offers 77 templates for you to choose from).

You might want to choose It is a bad series to buy
3/5

We bought two of them, and the pivot type of the trigger assembly has broken on both of them. In order to fix the problem, you will need to reassemble and use a stronger pin or #10 machine screw. The roofer must have an issue with this series due to the fact that I bought others from my I thought they were bananas, so I thought they were bananas. These are fine. Ironically, both of them have the same pattern number. These ones work, but they are a darker yellow rather than the light colored yellow I purchased.

I have never seen a caulking gun like this one! I love using this tool! You can buy these the way you would at your local home store and they are so much better! I admired its ease of use, lightness, and good leverage to squeeze out caulk easily
5/5

Yet best of all, it did not drip or run. Once you have released the handle, you can turn it on! After each pass, you do not have to pop the release! A caulking gun like this one makes the job easier and faster, improving the quality of your beads in the process. The result is that you will not have to clean up drips or strings of goo that lesser caulking guns will leave behind on your The only thing I wish I bought years ago is this!.

The price was extremely reasonable
5/5

"Dripless" is the actual term used here. would have given this a lower rating if I hadn't taken the time to read others' suggestions and to take a tube of caulk to learn how to use it. It's so much better than my "hardware store" gun, which I had used for a long time, but I only use it occasionally for small home repairs. After a few failed attempts and a few feet of caulk, I finally caught the curve and finished the watertight caulk line without letting go of the trigger early or having the caulk continue to flow. Basically, you just need to get your trigger pressure down and make sure you have a quick release at the end of your project. Once you get the hang of it, this tool is a definite bargain, and should function for any diy and home repair projects you might encounter.
