Caulking Without a Gun?! Is this Caulking Tool Worth Your Money?

What happens here

Believing the first tip might have been too sharp, the presenter flips the tip around to use a different profile. He then attempts to apply the caulk along the baseboard once more. This second attempt proves even worse than the first, resulting in more missed spots and an uneven application. He emphasizes that unlike using a finger, this device lacks the tactile feedback (nerves in fingers) needed to feel irregularities and apply consistent pressure, which is crucial for a smooth bead.

Goal: After an unsatisfactory first attempt, the presenter switches to a different, less sharp tip and tries to apply caulk again, but encounters similar issues and notes the lack of tactile feedback.

and it's not acting as my finger so well so i got to use my finger right there um so i could try you know i'll try a different tip size so i'm going to flip it over try a little bit um that's too sharp we're going to try this size right here i can flip it over and now start to use it i'm not sure like really i mean your finger pad works extremely well and the reason why your finger pad works well is you have nerves in your fingers and you can feel um the ups and downs you can feel how much pressure you need to put on it you can feel uh ridges highs and lows and you have that human element where you can put more pressure or less pressure to get the basically the perfect beat and that's what's important this is a sharp device it's limited it's only going to put caulking on uh where the device wants to put it on and it's a matter of you got to keep consistent pressure squeezing and that's really key that's that's worse than the last one
