Anyone have a battery operated caulk gun? I just replaced all my windows and really should have bought a dewalt caulk gun. The caulk I was using is a very high quality caulk which requires the high end caulk/adhesive guns. Manual caulking left the caulk looking terrible!
Live and learn.
They have a couple Milwaukee ones at work. I’ve gone through enough tubes of caulking to know that the manual ones ar tiresome. I’ll likely pick up a 20v Max one at some point. Assembled in USA has me leaning toward yellow rather than red as long as the M18 isn’t notably better (shouldn’t be; it’s getting old lol).
How about the makita one
What, this?
That’s i
Apparently we have it at work now too lol. Haven’t seen any of the guys use it yet.
I believe the Makita is still the strongest caulk gun around. Doesnt matter foe caulk but for a few strong compound glues it does 🙂
If you want a really nice manual caulk gun, I would buy this one
It works really well. It has 18:1 mechanical force and made it easy to squeeze out the really thick caulk I was using.
But I wouldn’t use it again on windows where you see the bead. I will likely get a powered one eventually if I end up doing windows again.
I don’t think a battery operated gun is good for home use. On which you will use these?
