Tube Extrusion Tool - Efficient RTV and Silicone Dispenser That maximizes The use of All Material in The Tube and Prevents Material Waste(Black)

I bought the original Valco 'squeezer' decades ago. Yes, it worked great, but I wasn't thrilled about the design.I just got this model and it's a HUGE improvement, since it stays together!Great!

No waste better control no mess

I like the fact that it was made of heavy enough material that you not bend it squeezing a tube of sealant.

MY HANDS WERE GETTING TIRED AND HURTING FROM SQUEEZING TUBES OF DAP, SO I BOUGHT THIS TO HELP ME AND I SWEAR, IT JUST DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE TRIED IT EVERY WAY I CAN THINK OF AND IT WAS JUST A REALLY BAD PURCHASE ON MY PART. IF THE COMPANY WOULD TAKE IT BACK NOW AND GIVE MY MONEY BACK. I WOULD DO IT!

I make bird houses on the side, I use a sealant for the roof of the bird house to make it water tight . I found this and makes the job a hole lot faster and easier than by hand.

As described in earlier reviews, it flew apart while unpacking. A minor irritant as it fits back together almost effortlessly. As delivered it is a good labor-saving tool with some minor problems. When using to lay a bead of stiff caulk the calk tube tends to ride out of the jaws and allow some caulk to seep back into the bottom of the tube. It's easy to squeeze the caulk back into the main part of the tube and applying a strip of 120 grit sticky back sandpaper to the bottom jaw stops the tube slippage and seeping allowing for a much easier application of stiff caulk/sealer. It is overpriced for what it is, unfortunately there's no readily available alternative cheaper or without more faults. Glad I bought it.

The tool does help to squeeze a DAP caulk tube. However, there is a tendency for the tube to slip and as it extrudes, the spent section is not flatten as much as expected so there could be a maybe 10% of caulk left that one could still pressed you with a straight edge.Still, it does help squeeze a full tube in a more control manner that without it. There are many vendors for this same tool at various price points. I don't think they any significant differences in the tool.

Amazing control of silicone RTV. I'm a former auto tech and I love it. I let an old coworker use it and he loves it as well. That became a gift and I had to order a second one!
