3-in-1 Caulk Tool

It should have a rubber part on the bottom. Someone could have taken it. Spray your finger with window cleaner and use that to smooth the caulk you'll be fine.

Take it back. Useless without the rubber tip, which has three difderent radii.

Hello RG, You should be able to take it back and get your money back, and then buy one with that is complete. The rubber part rotates for 3 different contours, and it can be removed carefully to simplify cleaning the caulk off.

Take it back

It doesn’t actually rotate. You have to take it off, turn it and then put it back on.

In store or online

home depot should have it in the painting tools aisle. It's a great tool, it has helped speed up caulking the siding I've been installing on my house, and I used it to scrape the old caulk out around our bathtub and then smooth the new caulk in place.

Paint department near the putty knives and paint accoutrements.

In the paint department at your local Home Depot. You can also order it on HD website.

I get it in the same aisle as the caulk in the paint department.

or soak the tip in solvent, such as mineral spirits, acetone, or xylene. Careful with xylene, but works well.

Try soaking in warm water with some dishwashing soap. If that doesn’t work then I would suggest that you call customer service.

I guess it depends on the type of caulk you used... silicon caulk should be able to be peeled off. I wipe it off when done, but there's always a build up over time. I let it cure and then just peel it off. I think I remember the triangle smoother is removable, and you should be able to clean it and slip it back on.

Buy a new one. Theyre cheap and worth it.

Check with your local store.

It is like a black rubber glove over the end of the tool. The rubber part can be pulled off and replaced in a different position.

Remove it from the tool and put it back in the position desired. Yes, the numbers are hard to read but the tool does a great job for caulking.

Pull the rubber tip off the plastic end- its very flexible- and reattach on the end to the desired tip. Look closely at the three tips- you will note that they each have a different radius- one for small corners, medium corners, and large corners.

Just turn the rubber end to radius wanted

grip the triangle between your index finger and thumb, and then rotate the handle until you get the profile you want exposed. the triangle comes off for cleaning.

It doesn’t “rotate” per say, like on a pivot joint. You can remove the rubber by carefully peeling it off the handle and put back on the handle at the desired measurement. If I’m not mistaken, I believe the measurements are inside the rubber to keep the measurements from fading out.

You pull off the little rubber part and then put it back on however you want.

the smoothing part rotates, there are 3 different profiles. grip the triangle shaped disc between your index finger and thumb and twist the handle. It's fairly easy to remove the dried caulk from it as well.

Just turn the rubber end by hand to radius wanted

The tool itself doesn't rotate... there is a rubber tip you can pull off and re-seat on the end in 3 different positions that give you 3 different caulk patterns... tight to the seam, slightly out from seam and heavily out from seam... the other end with metal is just up or down motion... fixed position, and in my opinion breaks easily. I used it for 15 minutes before the plastic anchors holding it to the handle snapped while trying to clean up caulk lines...

Sure

No, do not buy.

Yes

I don't think so. The tool would probably scratch the glass. Bill

Yes

Yes

You do not need to wet the caulking bead head before use. Of course it is a good idea to clean it up after you are done using it.

No. I did wet my finger to clean up the extra caulk after using the tool. I had cut the tip of the caulk tube a little to large. Bill

I did not wet it and it worked great and it cleans up without any issues. Great tool at a great price.

Yep
