Newborn 932-XSP Bulk/Sausage High-Thrust Smooth Rod Bulk Caulking Gun, 32 oz. Bulk/10-30 oz. Sausage Packs, 26:1 Thrust Ratio
The Newborn 932-XSP High-Thrust Smooth Rod steel caulking gun fits 32 oz. bulk caulk or a 10 oz., 20 oz., or 30 oz. sausage pack, and has a 26:1 thrust ratio for use with very high viscosity materials such as urethanes. The smooth pressure rod requires less force and is quieter than a ratchet-style pressure rod. There are large threads at the base of the barrel for quick barrel changes and fine threads at the tip of the barrel for easier cleaning. The hammered finish handle and trigger are rubber-coated for comfort. The caulking gun includes one ring cap for attaching nozzles and three 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.
