Review on Bosch GCG18V 20N 18V Caulk Adhesive by Dave Russell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Only used for gluing

I had a lot of sealants on the horizon and decided to treat myself. This tool has many advantages, but the auto-retract/auto-retract is too aggressive at low speeds. For example, let me describe an attempt to seal with a speed set to 2. It was easy to get long, steady globs of sealant, but every time I let go of the trigger, it took 20 seconds for the sealant to start flowing again. After a few hours I went back to my manual caulking gun. I would also add that this gun can use sausage packs, so it's a lot longer than a regular caulking gun (like other sausage guns). I wish I had more projects where I needed to apply lots of glue quickly and accuracy wasn't critical (so I could safely use a higher speed) - this gun will shine.

Pros
  • hand tool
Cons
  • I'll write later
