SILIGUN Caulking Gun (20 Pcs)- Anti Drip Extreme-Duty Caulking Gun - Patented New and Innovative Design - Lightweight ABS Frame - for the Smallest to the Largest Jobs

The Siligun is what you get when someone comes up with a truly innovative but flawed and fundamentally unnecessary solution to a problem someone else already solved. It's neat but, as my headline says, don't throw away your other caulk guns.Disclaimer: I just tried it with half a tube I'd already run through my standard caulk gun. I'll update this review in the future if its performance changes.-= The Good =-It actually does what it says. The tube is drawn into the gun as you go. This means the overall assembly does indeed get more compact as you advance the tube.It's easy to load and doesn't take much pressure on the handle to advance the tube.-= The Bad =-There's quite a list.1. One of the neat things about a regular caulk gun is that you can cut the tip on the caulk tube at an angle. Then, if you need to reposition the angle on the tip, you can spin the caulk tube in the gun. With the Siligun, since it cuts into the tube, you can't rotate the caulk tube in the gun. The orientation the tube is in when you start is the way it'll be when you end.2. Versus a standard rod-press caulk gun, the Siligun doesn't advance the tube as much per squeeze of the trigger. So if you're trying to run a bead, you'll need to pump the trigger more frequently; meaning you'll need to be super smooth or else able to tool the caulk after application.3. Because the tube is pulled INTO the gun as you go, each pull of the trigger actually pulls the tip of the caulk tube AWAY from the work material! As such, you'll need to move the gun closer to the material as you pull the trigger to run a constant bead.4. While the whole thing does end up pretty compact once the caulk tube is fed into the Siligun a bit, its blockiness can actually cause problems getting it into certain spots. For example, I was using it to caulk a seam between a soffit panel and fascia board. Once the caulk tube was far enough into the Siligun, I needed to take care of the angle I held it at or it would hit the fascia board. After I finished the first tube, I switched back to my regular caulk gun with the next tube.5. As others have noted, there's no let-off on the pressure on the caulk tube. Yes, the Siligun stops *dispensing* caulk when you let off the trigger. But it doesn't let the pressure off the caulk tube, so you'll still get caulk coming out of the tip for a bit. With a regular caulk gun, pop the lever on the rod and the pressure is off the tube. My workaround was to release the clutch on the Siligun and partially press the tube out of the gun. This meant I then had to pump the handle a good couple times to get back to a working state.-= Summary =-I'm torn on whether to return this or not. There may be times when the compactness comes in handy. But for 99% of the situations I face, I don't see this replacing my standard manual caulk gun (or definitely, for larger jobs, my battery-powered gun).TLDR; More of a novelty than a useful tool.

No complaints so far after using it for over a week. Would have been 5 stars, but I'd like to see the frame made out of metal and not plastic.A quick note to anyone considering this: you can't rotate or adjust the tube once it's been started because the siligun has a cutter in the back that splits it. Also, if you squeeze too hard and it comes out the back of the tube it can get on the cutter mechanism. Easy enough to clean, but worth being aware of.

I love this mini silicone cartridge gun. It's so practical and so compact. The only drawback i immediately saw was that it doesn't let the cartridge rotate. On regular silicone cartridge guns, you can rotate the cartridge so that your hand is below the cartridge and the angle on the nozzle is facing up, then you can flip it around and have both the nozzle and you hand facing down. You can't do that with this little guy. But, overall, it's a great addition to my tools.

In summery, I love it! But it is not built to last unless you really take care of it. You can feel how any wrong move could break it rendering it useless. Not all tubes will work on it either! The Star deducted is for what’s said above and its price tag.

This is a great little invention. However, I like to rotate my caulk to the best position so that I leave a good impression with my customer. Not having the ability to maneuver my caulk puts me at a big disadvantage. I need to be able to caulk where it is needed and I can't do that with this gun.

Clutch handle came off during first use. Tube was pia to get out. Does not have tip cutter. First use so maybe it will get better more I use it.

Works very well. Easy to use. Only con Is it only uses 85-90% of the tube...

I have not had a chance to actually use yet, but I can tell this is going to be a great addition to get into those close quarters

コーキングの長さしか無いのでその長さなら行けます。使い続ければ短くなるので狭い所での使い勝手はよくなります。少しレバーが固いので慣れが必要です。

狭い場所でもいい感じです。

When I saw videos for this product I wondered why it hadn't been invented before.The main attraction is that you pump what you need and don't suffer with having back pressure in the gun / cylinder forcing sealant out, even when you have applied what you need. Its wasteful but inevitable if you are an amateur DIYer and not a professional decorator / plumber etc.So the pump-what-you-need feature is great in itself.I did find that after a few pumps, the trigger mechanism was not strong enough to pull the caulk cylinder (actually cuts through the caulk cylinder it as it pulls) and needed pushing through manually - with some force - unlike a regular caulking gun that will push and push the contents until the cylinder is spent.In summary, a great idea but more thought is needed on how the device can be modified to apply more pressure in cutting the cylinder ( or a sharper blade perhaps).

Not had long works OK for now ( less than 1 week) but to.e will tell

コンパクトでスマートで こんなコーキングガンが欲しかったです。 一回付けたコーキングは なくなるまで使い切るようにしないと なかなか外すのに苦労します。先端は斜めカットせずに 直角にカットしないと使いにくいです。それらをおさえておけば 使い易いですね。 着けたコーキング はずしやすく改良されれば 星5ですけどねぇ コーキングのカートリッジの周りのビニールを 全部剥いで セットするのをお勧めします。
