Newborn Octogun 930-GTD Drip-Free Caulking Gun - Gator Trigger Grip | Fits 1/10 Gallon Cartridge |10:1 Thrust Ratio | Smooth Hex Rod Cradle with Built-in Smoother Tool | Scraper & Plug Included

This works really well. Durable and gets the job done. Easy to use and easy to replace caulk.

Caulking guns have been long overdue for better designs, and this one is. As a builder using such things for decades, this is the best basic one I've ever seen, at any price- and the price is very good for the quality. The way the plunger is designed keeps residual pressure off the contents unless the handle is under pressure, and that is what gives it the non-drip advantage. The built in tube puncture tool is notmal- but the built in tip cutting tool is uncommon and saves time and labor. Built nice, comfortable and the built-in nozzle plug will save a lot of partially used caulk tubes from loss. Excellent product, I think the one to chose.

This is really a well made caulking gun. I was very surprised with the quality and materials. It works really no drips. It's worth the money. My old caulk gun should be in a museum. My bad for waiting/ suffering so long.

While there are minor improvements that could enhance its usability further, it’s a reliable tool that gets the job done effectively.

No drip. So much better than budget chalk guns. So glad I spent a few extra dollars for something that works really well.

Best caulking gun EVER! To be fair, I saw this used and recommended on a you tube DIY video. I like the guy and his trim carpentry advice, so I took a chance and bought this caulking gun. It is AWESOME! No drip, that's a fact. Easy to use, comfortable hand grips and the BEST PART is that it only costs $12 bucks!! I have purchased other caulking guns in the past from the big box stores and they said they were dripless, yada, yada. They were total crap and I paid far more than I paid for this one. If you do a lot of caulking, adhesive work or any other "tube squeezing activities" you need this gun!

Operates well, easy to handle but is sturdy.

I usually can't use caulkers because I 1) have small hands and limited grip strength, and 2) don't have a clue about their specific use and how to use them. HOWEVER, this was easy after some research and learning. Even though I still used this one for the wrong application, I was still able to operate it with a peanut butter like adhesive. I strongly believe if I had used the right level of caulker, it would have been a breeze.I'm a 5'4" small-frame female with a narly grip for being able to fit into a youth size football or baseball glove. This caulking gun was comfortable, well-balanced and made the job possible for me to do myself. I definitely recommend, but be sure it's rated for the material you will be using.
