Caulking guns are essential for sealing gaps around windows, doors, sinks, and bathtubs. However, very cheap models often fail to deliver a consistent bead of caulk, causing messy lines, drips, and uneven coverage.
This can lead to leaks, mold growth, or the need for repeated touch-ups.
A reliable caulking gun ensures smooth, controlled application. Look for models with a ratchet or dripless mechanism, comfortable grips, and durable construction.
Test the gun on a scrap surface before starting your project to get a feel for pressure and bead size. Avoiding cheap, low quality guns saves frustration, materials, and time, while delivering professional-looking results.
