Review on πŸ”« Newborn 102D Drip-Free Smooth Hex Rod Cradle Caulking Gun - 1/10 Gallon Cartridge - High 10:1 Thrust Ratio by Jared Winebrenner

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No instructions

This is a robust caulking gun with a number of handy built-in features. Too bad they don't include instructions on how we can do this. There is no release button (it is not needed), there is a hole in the handle that says "tip cutter” and there is also a tool for piercing the seal. It took me a few minutes to realize that the push rod could be retracted when the trigger was released. If the trigger is released while lime is being applied, the plunger rod will automatically retract slightly to prevent lime splattering. When using the seal piercing tool, you need to pierce the limestone pipe seal several times because the piercing tool is very thin and will make a small hole. More holes allow more lime to flow out faster. The tip cutter works by inserting the tip of the hose into the hole to the correct depth and angle and then pulling the trigger. The trigger has a hidden tip cutter that cuts off the end of the tip. The manufacturer has included a calcium tube cap holder with two caps. The cap holder has a seam spacer on one end. The cap holder attaches to the inside of the caulking gun for safe storage. This item came with instructions
