Easy to caulk with as its strong and sturdy ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works *by J***. on August 21, 2025* It's not heavy duty, but it's works perfect. Very happy with this purchase. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked for me! *by M***N on November 22, 2016* I don't like ratchet style caulk guns for they are almost disposable to me compared to commercial style guns. This thing was CHEAP ($10) and paid for itself in applying four 29 oz tubes of Sikaflex SL to my expansion joints. I would not pay $20 for it though; this gun style can be a PITA if you're not an experienced caulker bc of the method used to cease flow when relocating or changing direction of the bead application.
