I have a big caulk job coming up this spring
and was looking for a good electric/battery gun.
Anyone using one they really like or dislike.
thanks

Electric - no, but there're a couple of good pneumatic ones around.
*at g.lalondes urging.. we bought an air-powered caulk gun ...made in england.. don't know the brand...can't see how i ever did without it.... certainly won't go back to the old squeeze with our quart tubes....
*Somebody shot out my back truck window last week. I do live in Texas you know. The Lone Gunman State. We just kinda shrug that sort of thing off around here. Hey, nobody got hurt. Anyway, the guy who put the new glass in used an air powered (I say air powered because I can't spell pneumatic and the spell checker here is worse than I am) caulk gun and it worked GREAT. Gotta get one for the next time we do some serious caulking.Maybe some Lexan glass too.Ed. Williams
*Pricey, but it's Milwaukee. No I haven't used one.http://www.northwestpowertools.com/tool_manufacturers/milwaukee/655020.htm
*Stanley makes one for about $100No one around here carries the thing, so I don't have a part number in front of me. I saw one in a trade show being used, and I fell in love with it. It uses "C" batteries.James
*Boy I get enough of that crap on my hands without battery or pneumatic assist.I'd rather spend my money on more paper towels :-)
*i've used an inexpensive one (caulkmaster, i believe) for a few hundred tubes of deck caulking on wooden boats. we fine tuned it by adding an inline regulator. a great tool that can cut down seriously on waste, i'd guess 30%. (we fill a seam, then come back and knife it off flush.) some of our caulk material runs over ten bucks a tube. i believe tool crib/amazon has them.
