Dripless ETS6000 Industrial Grade Composite Barrel Sausage Caulking Gun, 10-20 oz. Sausage Pack Capacity, 18:1 Ratio
The Dripless ETS6000 Industrial Grade Sausage caulking gun has a 2-1/8"-diameter composite rotating barrel that can accommodate 10 oz. or 20 oz. sausage packs and has an 18:1 thrust ratio for use with silicone, latex, drywall, sub-floor adhesives, and polyurethanes. The gun has both drip and non-drip settings. On the non-drip setting, the rod retracts after each pull of the trigger, removing pressure from the tube to help prevent dripping. The revolving frame allows the barrel to rotate for maintaining the same bead orientation when caulking around corners. The composite barrel and neoprene plunger are lightweight and provide corrosion resistance. A seal puncture tool and a spout cutter are built into the side of the gun for opening cartridges without a knife. The caulking gun includes six #8 disposable plastic cone nozzles.
Caulking guns, also called caulk or cartridge guns, dispense a controlled flow of products such as caulk, sealants, and adhesives from a tube or cartridge. A manual caulking gun consists of a frame which holds the tube, a trigger, and a rod which moves forward when the trigger is depressed, dispensing the product. Manual caulking guns have a thrust ratio; the higher the thrust ratio, the easier it is to dispense the caulk, sealant, or adhesive. Air-powered or pneumatic caulking guns also have a frame and a trigger, but are used with an air pressure regulator that pushes the product from the tube using air pressure instead of a rod.
