Silligun vs old school

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter performs a side-by-side comparison of both caulk guns in a tight, angled scenario, specifically caulking a vertical gap alongside a door frame. The "Silly Gun" proves to be awkward and less effective due to its compact design hindering reach and leverage. In contrast, the traditional caulk gun, with its longer reach and rotatable caulk tube, allows for a much smoother and more controlled application in the same difficult spot, making the task significantly easier.

Goal: Evaluate the practical performance of both caulk guns in a challenging application.

Tools and materials

  • Normal Caulk Gun — Successfully caulking in the same tight, angled space
  • Silly Gun — Attempting to caulk in a tight, angled space
  • Caulk Tube — The caulk material being applied during the comparison

just hit the trigger squeeze. Here's a demonstration of where I thought that the silly gun would really shine and it it kind of doesn't. I could caulk this not horrible but now look at the other caulk gun. Now, you just take a normal caulk gun, rotate your tube to what angle you want and this longer reach is actually helping me out in this scenario right here. So, just rotate the tube wherever you want and go ahead and just zip it right down there. Now, one cool thing
