I bought this to use on a large project redoing seals on my motor home. Had several hundred feet of caulk to run from ladders. One of the great things is when you release the trigger, it backs off the plunger a little. This takes pressure off, and keeps it from dripping all over the place. You do have to get used to it taking a couple beats before caulk flows again. The only negative, and why I didn’t give it 5 starts is even at the slowest setting, I wish it was a little slower.
I am glad I had it for the project. Not sure how much it will get used from now on, but if I ever have to either run a lot of caulk, or do it in an awkward spot, I’ll grab it.

Loved it. I can’t really compare this caulk gun to any other battery caulk gun because it is the first I have ever used.
I had put down 10 tubes of caulk and after using a regular/non battery my forearm felt like it was going to explode and my wrist felt like I had carpel tunnel syndrome.
I bought the Ryobi because I already had several of their tools and batteries so it just made since to go with the same brand. It took me a minute to get the speed adjustment dialed in but after I figured that out I was rolling. This thing was sooooo easy to use. You can really roll through a job with it. I used it on a roof for four days only used one 4ah battery a day. It is easy to load and unload. The only thing it didn’t have was something to cut off caulk tube tip. It did have the little pin thing to puncture so the caulk would come out.
This item is worth every penny.

I bought this gem to do all the caulking on some new siding I was DIYing. The caulk I used was really hard to squeeze out of my old faithful hand squeeze gun. This Ryobi did the job much faster and easier than I expected. Great choice, especially if you already have Ryobi batteries. I’d definitely recommend for those big caulking jobs that you need to knock off the honey do list.

We’ve been doing outside paint prep as well as gluing up ceiling tiles. My wife has been doing a lot of caulking and gluing, but it’s hard on her hands. Especially the gluing because the glue is thicker and harder to squeeze. This tool makes it a breeze and uses batteries I already had in the shop. A keeper.

I could never use the usual version of a caulk gun….this one is a game changer! I caulked my bathtub, around toilet and moulding in bathroom and about to tackle grouting the driveway cracks! Ladies: take back the handyman prices and no-shows and DIY. You will be amazed at what you can do.

I just used mine when replacing all my baseboards and trim, and installing board and batten. It is a time saver and no hand cramping from hours of caulking. Run some practice strips at different speeds each time the caulk is replaced to get a feel for the flow for that particular cartridge. I used a near lowest setting and a small hole in the cartridge for most of the finer work and it comes out smooth, continuous, straight, and with little clean up. Turn it up for faster application for adhesive use. I wish I had one of these years ago.

Including a little background on this: A project using Construction adhesive. Having broken my wrist a year ago I found it took 2 hands and about all the strength I had to squeeze a bead out of the cartridge. Ender the RYOBI ~ Using the highest setting of #6 I have full control of the bead placement. Since my purchase I have run through 19 cartridges of Pro-Construction adhesive without an issue. I was concerned with the slow flow of the construction adhesive at the highest setting. However, I put in a cartridge of the cheapest caulk on the market and “By-Golly” on the highest setting I hit the trigger, and it was nearly a squirt gun. I lowered it to the lowest setting and found I had a highly controllable consistent bead. This is a boat project, and next step is to re-install 18 portlights sealing both inner and outer — then moving to sealing a bead at the toe-rail which will equal 240 linear feet. My hand and wrist strength would never have been able to handle this. For me, this purchase would have been worth it at triple the price.

I do a lot of DIY at home, and find that using some types of construction adhesive and even some types of calking in the average manual caulking gun requires almost weightlifter strength to pull the trigger. This unit solves that problem. Plenty of power for tough jobs, saves the fingers and hands and, once you get the hang of it, much easier to achieve a nice constant bead. Well worth it.
