Dripless ETS2000 Ergo Composite Caulk Gun | Dripless Caulking Gun for 10 oz Cartridges or Tubes | Lightweight Body | 12:1 Thrust Ratio | Pro Painter Preferred | 2 Pack

Que es una herramienta perfecta

First one took the abuse of me being a RV tech real well for almost 3 years..till it broke from many drops from roof of a camper..very happy with this product..

Great

This caulk gun is so easy and lightweight. I work as a professional painter; exterior and interior, brand new homes and repaints. As long as you cut the tube at a nice 45 degree angle (I usually cut an "X" on the back of the caulk tube, where it gets pushed, for air to circulate)The gun is easy to maneuver and there's no need to worry about pushing a button to make the caulk stop flowing. No need to rotate your arms at awkward angles. The best thing is that it gets better with use. I originally bought this gun last year on March with almost daily use and still works so it's durable!Now for the cons. The gun, being new, doesn't hold the caulk tube in place if you were to hang the gun on a ladder or the side of your pants. I've had a couple of occasions when I had my caulk gun on my ladder being around 20ft and slower the weight of the caulk tube opens the pulley and the tubes went down to the ground. But like I said it as it gets used the tube stays in place, it should do it anyways.The tip cutter isn't great don't use it. Seriously just don't, you'll just end up with a really bad cut and will need to make the cut bigger which will make a bigger mess. Bigger hole = more caulk. Unless your filling a big gap go for it.Honestly that's it. Won't hesitate to rebuy. Still my favorite caulk gun, nothing's perfect and it works!Will upload pictures to compare usage (new one has light usage already)

The media could not be loaded. Let me first start off be saying that I am not a professional nor am in the trades. I am a DIY guy. This caulk gun is actually quite impressive. It is slightly larger than the standard cheapo 3.00 home depot guns. It fits the same size standard caulk tubes (10.1 oz).The barrel (yellow part) turns a full 360 with no stops. This could be handy to turn the tube but the caulk tube I used spun inside the barrel without needing to turn the yellow. The back of the handle where your palm goes has some rubber coating. On the left side there is a tube nozzle cutter and on the right side there is metal rod used to punch out the tube down inside the fresh cut nozzle. This punch (don’t know the real term for it) folds down and locks in place. To load it you simply pull the handle / thick metal rod stick out the back. This requires more force than that of the cheapo ones. Maybe five pounds of force. There is no lever to release like the cheapo ones. There is a rubber friction washer that allows tension to remain on the rod but you can push it back with some force. This allows the rod to slip backwards when you release the trigger easing the pressure inside the tube and keeping all the contents from continually squirting out the nozzle. This rubber washer I feel could potentially be a wear item that gives way after a certain amount of time. That could be 5 years or even 10 in my case. Only time will tell. The motion that pushes the rod forward is not that rubber washer but a metal lever similar to the cheapo ones. So even if the rubber wears it should not affect the intended purpose of this item as when you release the trigger, pressure will be released.When you squeeze there is good amount of force applied to the tube and when you release the trigger the pressure is released on the tube and therefor it stops dispensing which makes it drip-less. Obviously if you have some material hanging out it might drop off do to gravity. When using the gun in action this situation I would see happening. If you lightly squeeze the trigger and release you can actually see some of the caulk actually suck back onto the nozzle the pressure is released.In my opinion this tool is money well spent. I caulked the base board on my stairwell (both sides) without a towel and there was absolutely nothing on the carpet. The only cleanup was the tip of my finger from smoothing the caulk out in the crease.See the video (yes, I mistakenly say the comparison gun is 10, then 6 then 4. As of this post the cheapo guns run 2.77 at Home Depot)

Very good gun no Drips with silicone

This thing is so good and 1000% worth the money. It is just so accurate and doesn’t have that annoying excess push that mini caulking guns have, even expensive ones. For example, I was so used to depressing the caulk gun, then instantly grabbing the plunger to release pressure just from habit due to many caulking guns continuing to exert pressure on the tube even after you release so that you have a lot of spillage. This talking gun has none of that and it’s just absolutely amazing! PRO TIP* - use painters tape to tape the actual tube to the front part of the caulking gun. That prevents the tube from spinning and the way this gun is designed, the whole front half is spin, so you can set the exact angle that way.Just please don’t think all caulking guns are the same like I used to, I just wish I would’ve known about this earlier as it would’ve saved so much mess in time. It’s really that big of a deal even if you cock just a little around the house or have a business or you do a day and a day out this is the one us pros use for a reason!

This is the last calling gun you will buy. Done construction 20 years and by far the best I've seen. Highly recommend this!
