This work good you just need to get the feeling of it. When you stop it back off just a small amount With my arthritis it works. Keep my hand from hurting
Demetrius Becker (verified owner) –
Works great just a little heavy. Also when you left off, the automatic let off is a bit much, takes a few seconds to catch back up when you are ready to start again.

Easy to use. After hand surgery it became difficult to squeeze manual caulking guns. Trigger makes it easy. The reason for a 4 star rating is that it takes a long time to prime. Every time you take your finger off the trigger you then have to wait for it to charge before continuing. Very frustrating you have yourself bent over or on your knees sliding it back and forth waiting for caulk. It maybe a problem because I am just doing thin lines prior to painting, it still a hassle. Feed control allows you to move as fast or slow as you need.

Does what its supposed to do, Drawbacks are the trigger is very heavy, and after using it for a bit tends to fatigue your trigger finger. Also if you let off the trigger the release of pressure from your tube in the gun will jump and kickback allot at times. Even though it does have a wide range of speeds, i found allot of the times to do some nice small clean beads that the gun pushes to fast even on setting #1.

Works great! Using it for heavy thick window sealant.Great lifetime warranty.Only request is that they make a conversion kit or model for the large tubes.

This was purchased as a gift for my boyfriend he is a roofer and he loves it. Makes it easy for him to do repairs.

This caulk gun pumps out caulk fast as long as it is a thin caulk. With thicker caulk, you have to switch to a different caulk gun as it just stops. Larger batteries do not improve it. Stop and go caulking is also not an option as it retracts the plunger each time you release the trigger. Each time you pull the trigger, it takes a few seconds to start again.

Worked as described, a little better than expected.
Kaden Bode (verified owner) –
This drill is so easy to use and even though it’s small (which I like) it’s powerful. The battery charge lasts a long time then the second battery comes in handy. One reason I purchased is because Ridgid gives a lifetime warranty on both the drill and batteries.
Stanley Tremblay (verified owner) –
Great, just as expected
Bradford Koepp (verified owner) –
Makes caulking a breeze! No dripping at all when you let off the trigger. Consistent bead through the entire tube of caulk. Super easy to load the gun, untwist the tube holder1 rotation, drop tube in, twist tube holder back on. No awkward angles or jamming the tube in. Wish it had a quick start feature, on slowest speed it takes a while for material to start flowing, once it does, it’s consistent.
Aubree Schroeder (verified owner) –
need a slower setting and a cutter to cut the tip
Myriam Hilpert (verified owner) –
Perfect for using without outside outlet.
Cydney Raynor (verified owner) –
It gives a even bead as it comes out of the tube.
Tobin Dach (verified owner) –
Worked fine, but could not gt it slow enough for a small bead. Forced me to move too fast to control the bead. Will be fine with a larger tip size.
Adan Ratke (verified owner) –
Have not had a chance to use it. Seems well built.
Nina Connelly (verified owner) –
Makes for quick work when caulking anything around the house. And may hands are not hurting afterwards.
