Very good gun to apply silicone smoothly and equally. Built strong, it is easy to use.

Very happy with the purchase. Was tired of having to squeeze the regular caulking guns to the point where my hand would hurt. This one I can use all day and not be sore,

The Newborn caulk gun is solidly built, but is not a no-drip caulk gun, plus no instructions given. Instructions are necessary for inexperienced users like me. After I stopped applying pressure on the trigger, the silicone caulk kept dripping for about 4-5 inches of caulking.

This is very well designed and built caulking gun. Feels solid when you pick it up. Nice features too.

I LIKED THE HOLE PUNCH PRONG BUT THIS MY FIRST TIME USING ONE AND i FOUND IT CHALLENGING AND REQUIRING MORE STRENGTH THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD. I HAVE A LOT MORE RESPECT NOW FOR MY LATE HUSBAND AND HIS ABILITY WITH THESE THINGS.

I looked like an expert after using this tool. The first caulking gun I tried was probably twenty years old and I made such a mess. I wondered if I could do a better job if I had a better tool. I tried this caulking gun and instantly looked like a pro. I highly recommend this product.

I own a small contracting company and go through roughly 25 calking guns a year. Everyone claims their guns are heavy duty but seldom live up to it.These guns are amazing! Heavy duty and then some. I handed them out to the guys for a little on site testing today and every one of them threw out there old guns and were raving about them. They don’t get out much)The action is so smooth and requires very little pressure.The ladder hook is actually big enough to hook over a rung.The poker is long enough not to damage the caulking tip for fine application.The cutter doesn’t make a clean cut but I’ve never seen one that did, still cuts tho.

So I'd like to start by saying this gun is built to last I am a painter who has been caulking new trim and woodwork for 29 years a good caulk gun is essential I used to get the home Depot brand but they have changed so much they're not the same. I also would like to say I ordered the same caulk gun a couple months back and received a red one I think it's supposed to be the newborn brand but it is inferior to this gun I should have sent it back immediately but I thought I'd give it a chance. After using it for a while I decided let me try again they probably sent me the wrong gun and they did they sent the one that is in the picture like they should have the first time and let me say this is an amazing gun. If you want a dripless gun look elsewhere to me dripless guns are garbage I have so much caulking to do in the brand new homes that letting go of the handle I need to be able to keep moving even before squeezing it again it is just second nature to press the button to stop the caulk from flowing I do not even realize I am pressing the button to stop the car it is just a habit I was trained on these kind of guns and they are the best they also spin and pivot for caulking door casings that is great with this gun I can call a complete door casing in under 2 minutes I do not like dripless guns I want the flow to continue while I am letting go of the handle and squeezing again also this is 18 to 1 thrust ratio. If you do not know what that means most other guns like home Depot are 10 to 1 or 12 to 1 which means you have to squeeze the handle harder to get the caulking to flow this kind of gun is even good for heavier materials like liquid nail or others but if you're just using your basic painters acrylic caulk you gently squeeze it and it comes out great always with a small tip hole cut. Now I really wish the first one I ordered was the proper one then I would have two my girlfriend also works with me and she could have one they are a little expensive but man are they worth it from now on this will be the only caught gun I ever purchase durable it looks nice I love the colors not that that matters but it's nice to have a good looking tool especially when it performs like no other can and I have used so many different types of caulk guns over the years I purchased maybe seven different types from Amazon and this is the only one for me from now on my girlfriend loves it also. If I have anything negative to say about this gun is I do not like the poker that is on the side of the gun because that is the way you hold the gun and sometimes it pokes your hand it would been nice to have the poker on the side of the handle tucked in. But that is a minor minor issue if I needed to I could rip it off I wish I would have been using this gun a lot sooner because I love it so much I could be there spokesperson to demonstrate this is an amazing caulk gun if you are a professional cocker and I mean professional and know what you're doing and want a gun that has continuous Flow and only stops when you press the button don't look any further I tried looking at reviews of this gun and other guns nobody has a review that let you know if a gun has continuous Flow until you press the button I'm here to let you know this is not dripless it will continuously flow until you press the button and that is the way a great caulk gun should be five stars all day I would purchase again but hopefully this will last a long long time.

Definitivamente no es una calafateadora de bajo presupuesto. La relación fuerza-presión es más que suficiente para una operación suave no importando lo duro del cartucho. No es cara así que vale mucho la pena pagar la diferencia.

I bought this gun to replace an old cheaper caulking gun that just didn't have enough power for some of the caulking I was using. My hand was getting pinched and hurt every time I used it and I could never put a nice smooth bead on anything. Then I decided to try this one based on reviews...no turning back. This was so easy to use, even with thicker than normal caulking, and I am able to put a nice smooth bead around doors, windows, bathtub, etc with very little effort. The only downside, if you would call it that, is that if you are using a previously opened tube of caulking that happens to be plugged up at the nozzle end due to drying, this gun is so powerful that with very little force, the caulking will take the path of least resistance...that being the back (wide) end of the caulking tube and makes quite a mess for cleanup when it squirts out. But that is no fault of the gun, just the tube or user. Would buy again in an instant if lost, and shouldn't have waited so long to buy quality...you do get what you pay for. I'm sure this last a lifetime for me.

I finally wised up and started searching for a good caulking gun after crippling myself trying to dispense anchoring epoxy using a cheap hex rod gun. I had no idea there were different advantage ratios. This gun has enough mechanical advantage to make dispensing cold urethane caulk easy, but not so much that it can't be used with more fluid silicone and latex products--it's not ideal for them because it drips so readily, but it works ok. I would prefer it if it was a dripless model. The description makes it quite clear that it's not dripless, so it's not really a valid criticism.The tip cutter is the best I've used; the action is extremely smooth; the barrel turns easily but doesn't accidentally slip. The only thing I think they ought to improve is the releasing lever. I try to press it every time I finish a run to make sure the caulking doesn't drip, but it takes some maneuvering to get the lever under my thumb. If you have very large hands, you might find the ergonomics perfect.
