M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 10 oz. Caulk and Adhesive Gun (Tool-Only)

Milwaukee's M18 caulking gun gets the job done without your hand getting tired from constantly pulling the trigger on a manual caulking gun. The gun provides 950 lbs of force with a variable speed trigger and six different speed settings to help fine tune your flow rate. The collar on the gun rotates which helps to give you great control around turns. The carriage can also be changed between the 10 oz, quart, or 20 oz sausage barrels. The tool has an anti-drip function which instantly stops material from continuing to be pushed out. The tool weighs in at 4.9 lbs. I have to start with the reason why I took a star off and it's because there is no onboard cutter to cut the tube you are working with and no onboard poker to puncture the tube. I don't really see this as an issue if you are working a only a few tubes, but when you going to run through a ton of tubes, it becomes pretty inconvenient. I recently went through about fifteen 10 oz tubes of adhesive and I had my old manual caulking gun on hand to cut and pop the tubes before dispensing in my M18 caulking gun. The weight of the gun plus tube plus battery can be on the bit heavier side but I'm used to working with heavier hand tools so it is not much of bother for me, but I can see it being on the heavier side for many. Being that the gun is motorized, I do get a nice and consistent bead every time. Once you dial in the speed setting to what you need, you get the same consist bead as if you were using a manual gun but without all the trigger pulling. I read some review that talked about how long the gun takes to dispense, but my experience has been that once it gets going, no matter how many times I triggered and stopped, it was only a matter of seconds before it would come out again. It does a great job for what it was designed to do, but for the price I feel like Milwaukee can include the cutter and poker.

Excellent tool, very strong, easy to use and confortable

If you have a lot of caulking to do, this is the tool to get! No longer do my arms cramp up applying caulk. I slapped on an M18 CP 2.0 battery, cut the tip and broke the seal of the caulking tube, and I was ready to go. This Milwaukee caulking gun is very easy to use! Just adjust the dial to the speed you want to output, use the variable speed trigger to further adjust the output, and finally, adjust the speed at which you move the caulking gun and you get perfect, consistent beads every time. Adhesive caulk tubes are hard to dispense by hand, but a cinch with this tool. I had a caulk tube of concrete repair and when I went to use the brand new tube, it was already somewhat dried up. Since I could not return the tube, nor did I want to lose what content was not dried up, I applied the trigger on this caulk gun until the caulk tube ruptured. I was then able to scoop up the concrete repair and apply it. Of the many, many tubes I've dispensed using this caulk gun, there has been no cleanup needed. I was shocked – unlike other manual caulk guns I've used, there was usually a mess on the inside push rod to clean up, but not with this one. I like how I can interchange the barrel to a sausage style when needed. Best of all, the anti-drip works flawlessly!

Pretty tacti-cool tool... great for thick expoxy/ adhesives.... not really cool for small jobs though... would recommend.. -joel

Very easy to use and came already setup for use. Has some weight but still very manageable. The adjustable speed gives you perfect control over laying down perfect beads. Ive ran 18 tubes of caulk through already and my battery still has 4 bars. This thing is fantastic on battery life.

Its a good gun. Easy to adjust flow. Its good for adhesive but its it heavy for fine Caulking.

This tool will amaze you. The selectable speed makes it versatile for any type of application. Heavy to some, but worth the effort!, compared to a manual gun.

This caulk gun is great for large projects. Caulking new siding or baseboards is a breeze. Basically anything with long runs. However, it doesn't completely replace a manual caulk gun. Small jobs or short runs are quicker with a manual gun. This one definitely does the job, I just found it more efficient to use the manual one.

we don't use it every day, but there are days it will get hours of use. If you have squeezed a caulk gun all day, you will greatly appreciate the benefit of squeezing a trigger instead. adjustable speed, changeable barrels for large tubes and sausages make it versatile.
