See The 7 Best Caulking Guns on Ezvid Wiki ►►
Fact #1. A good caulking gun makes finishing the construction of a bathroom, kitchen, or any other space a pleasantly easy project. They help their users apply an even amount of material at a constant rate. This leaves behind a clean, functional space. This basic, affordable tool is an essential part of any professional builder's arsenal. It's also a good idea for the homeowner.
Fact #2. Most caulking guns operate using a pistol grip shape. They have a trigger-style handle that's squeezed by all four fingers at once. They allow for generous distribution of caulk with each squeeze. They're easy to control with your grip strength serving as the source dispensing power.
Fact #3. For the person with limited hand strength, these hand-operated caulking guns may not be the best choice. A powered version would be the best option. A contractor or remodeling professional who goes through dozens of tubes of caulk in a given work week might consider this as well. Caulking tools that use a power source other than your hand fall into one of two categories. They are electrically-operated, or pneumatically-powered.
Fact #4. Caulking tools are generally useless on their own. You can use them productively in one way only, and that is to distribute caulk from a tube. Coincidentally, the tube of caulk designed for use in a gun is worthless without its purpose-built counterpart. They're almost impossible to use by hand.
Fact #5. For most projects, a general purpose caulk made of acrylic-latex blend will serve admirably. This material resists water, is generally flexible, and is low-cost. Consider a quick-drying option for an area you cannot avoid using for a protracted period, such as a kitchen sink. Note that some acrylic-latex caulks respond well to paint. Others are best left unpainted, as painting may lead to cracks and flakes as it shrinks over time.
