rebecca rentz: Bought this after reading a review about it on Pinterest. Side note, I've never caulked anything a day in my life lol. Needless to say, after watching a few videos I've recaulked my bathroom and kitchen. I have even resealed my windows outside. So this has been very easy to use. Very sturdy. Handles caulk, sealant, silicones, hybrids with ease. My hand never gets tired.

Dan K.: It's not fancy - just your basic caulking gun - but it seems well-built and it did the job for me. I haven't had it for long and have only used it for a couple of projects so far, so I cannot speak of it's long-term durability, but it works just fine so far.

G. Carver: I am very happy that I chose this caulk gun. I have 3 others that use the smooth rods, ranging from dirt cheap round rods to an expensive dual cam square rod. All three failed to dispense the thick tile adhesive on my recent remodeling project. The cams wear out quickly and just slip on the rod.
The sheet metal is thicker on this one and won't bend at the nose, allowing the tube to pop out like the cheap ones. The handles are comfortable enough to use without padding or gloves. Best of all, the ratchet works smoothly and does not slip. I looked for a similar product in several hardware and home improvement stores, but the ratchet style was hard to find and the better ones were much too expensive. This one is a deal!
