Beyond the wall of identical-looking do-it-yourselfer caulking guns at your local home improvement store are some guns designed with professional painters in mind.
These tools deliver up to 650 lbs pushing force to dispense the highest viscosity adhesives and sealants.
A battery (cordless gun) or compressed air (pneumatic gun) provides the power to force the caulk from the gun. Some guns have a variable speed control to manage sealant flow.
For example, a gun that’s too heavy will wear you out. Cage-type guns are lighter than cradle-type ones.
A gun whose grip is too big or small will be hard to control. As you close your hand to grasp something, your grip is weak at the beginning, strong in the middle, and weak again at the end.
Caulking guns can be simple manual machines or may run on electric or battery power. Depending on what you’re willing to spend and what type of projects your business does, you will want to explore your options before deciding on a caulking gun.
Finally, a gun so insubstantial that it breaks when you drop it will make you get in the truck and go to the store to replace it.
Most guns in the over-$1.99 category have some feature that releases the pressure on the cartridge when you come to the end of the bead, so that caulk doesn’t drip from the nozzle. Some require you to click on a button; others release the pressure when you release the trigger suddenly but leave it on when you release it slowly.
If you do a lot of caulking, as on new construction, consider a power-assisted caulking gun. They’re also helpful if you frequently use stiff urethane caulks.
Find a power caulking gun to make your job easier. When you’ve got a lot of caulking to do, a standard manual caulk gun will tire your hand quickly.
Milwaukee makes cordless caulking guns in 2.4-V and 12-V sizes.
The lightest guns are the air-powered ones.
