What is the Best Caulking Gun? A Painter's Favorite Caulking Gun for 2023!

What happens here

The presenter emphasizes the ETS 2000's dripless functionality, stating that it's crucial for clean work, especially with contemporary caulks that tend to contain air bubbles. These air bubbles can cause a 'pop' effect, leading to caulk splattering even with a dripless gun. He advises using high-quality caulking, such as Tower caulk (urethane elastomeric caulk), which he uses for exteriors, as it is less prone to air bubbles and 'pops', maintaining the dripless gun's effectiveness.

Goal: The presenter highlights the ETS 2000's dripless design, explaining its importance for preventing messy drips, especially with modern caulks prone to air bubbles, and recommends high-quality caulk to minimize 'pops'.

knife on it it is once again an industrial heavy duty plastic it is a dripless caulking gun you definitely want to have a dripless caulking gun especially with today's caulking that has air bubbles in it uh caulking is very notorious for having air bubbles and if it does have a significant amount of air bubbles or a big air bubble even a dripless caulking gun will still drip caulking until the air bubble comes out and that's as a professional painter we call it a pop because when you're squeezing the trigger and the air bubble comes out it goes pop and caulking splatters everywhere sometimes in your face it's very annoying once that air bubble comes out your dripless caulking gun will be dripless once again always buy high quality caulking i use tower caulking urethane elastomeric caulking for doing all my exteriors great caulking and very rarely does it have air bubbles or pops in it so that's the gun itself it is a 12-1 ratio gun that's another thing i really like about the gun 12 to 1 ratio means squeezing the trigger is a lot easier on this gun than it is a affordable or cheaper gun like this so if you're caulking all day long having a 12 to 1 ratio gun
