WORKPRO Caulking Gun, Adjustable Hand Caulk gun, Less-dripping Regulating, Sealant Silicone Gun with Comfort Grip, 9:1 & 18:1 Thrust Ratio, Smooth Round Rod for 10oz Caulk tubes

This caulking gun is awesome. Having used really cheap caulking guns for decades, I decided to splurge on a higher-end one for a recent DIY project. I had never heard the term “thrust ratio” until I read the product description for this caulking gun and had no clue what it meant. After consulting dozens of DIY articles and YouTube videos, the short answer is: a higher thrust ratio pushes thicker material (e.g., some construction adhesives and heavy-duty sealants) more easily and gives you much better control when using thinner material (e.g., everyday caulk).I needed to use both PVC adhesive and regular sealant for my project. Since I didn’t know how thick the adhesive would be, I ordered this caulking gun to cover all my bases. It turned out that the adhesive was no thicker than typical sealant, but using the higher thrust ratio was a game-changer. Yes, I needed to squeeze the trigger more often when using the higher thrust ratio, but the results were amazing — my caulk lines were smoother, straighter, more uniform and far neater than any caulking job I’ve ever done. Between the higher thrust ratio and the non-drip features of this caulking gun, I ended up with a great result, virtually no wasted product and nearly caulk-free hands!If you’re conscientious about taking care of your tools, a caulking gun should last indefinitely, so the price of this one (I paid $21.99, but it’s currently $18.69 for Black Friday) seems very reasonable for a high-quality, lifelong tool.5 stars.

I am only an occasional user, and some of the reviews had me a little skeptical. I have had a chance to use the gun for a few projects and find it works well. Being able to adjust the amount of push with each stroke makes even using the same material for large and small cracks a breeze. The no-drip feature stops excessive after release expulsion. Yes, it can still drip, but the amount of control is awesome. Some have also complained that the caulk tube turns too easily in the gun, but I found this a real plus for filling curves and corners. A little pricey, but what a pleasure to use. Thumbs up for the thought that went into the design.

I’ve had a lot of bad Caulking guns in the past — some even left my hands blue after using them. This one is solid and well built.

It worked great, until I used a mastic based caulk tube. The tolerance on the shaft was too tight, and now it don't work with any gunk on it.

Great control when applying caulk. Easy release, and easy way to pull the spring all the way back

Great gun with no dropping perfect for your jobs

It is a good tool, solid and precise.

This caulk gun is pretty bad--- for what you pay for it. I first used it with Lexel (...By Sashco 🥷🏻), which, if you've never worked with, be grateful. It's very thick, but this bad boy laid it down smoothly, and far better than my own caulking skill. The no drip feature works.But, the real test was using it during a masonry repair last week where I was using Redhead T7 anchor adhesive. This stuff is a real acid test for any caulk gun. Thick doesn't begin to describe it. It's more like a solid with epoxy in it to make it "flow". Not gonna lie, if you have never hit the gym, or used PED to break a personal record and possibly get the attention of a woman who future you will majorly regret, don't bother with using a regular caulk gun to apply epoxy anchoring adhesives-you'll hurt your hand and waste 20 or 30 bucks.BUT, if you have this caulk gun, go for it. This thing was able to push the somewhere between peanut butter and ice cream like consistency substance with no problem.So, yeah. I love this thing, and have zero regrets of buying it. Owning it, I know there's no type of single tube adhesive/caulk/etc it can't handle.
