Of course, I use the Festool of caulking guns, none better than these:

I like these:http://fwd4.me/pqkDamned good guns. Open, for the style
of caulk we use in the USA.


We are finally allowed toobs of caulk G The IMF and World Bank said
so.


Alrighty, then.


I prefer a T-bar over a hook (very minor point, really)
The key with the gun you're showing is that they're die-cast handles
and the barrel rotates. Features I like about the Cox. I'm sure I'd be
happy with that one too.


Yeah, the cast-handled jobbers are much more powerful and you can be
more deft in your application if you've a mind to.


Having done a lot of countertops in the last 25+ years, you get to do
a lot of caulking.


I've gotten a lot more practice as a handyman than I did before. And I
have new tools for finishing it.

http://fwd4.me/pqg*These are PERFECT for tub-to-tile junctions.


Never seen those before, but look as handy as a pocket-on-a-shirt.


Teeny slit in the corner makes for a poifect bead.


http://fwd4.me/pqh*These are better for the cabinet-to wall joints.


Those I have used. Not a fan, but they did get me out of trouble
before.


I especially like them for getting deep into corners.


And a damp rag to swipe the walls afterward creates the perfection
we're all after.


Sounds like we should have a caulk-off. G


I believe that's illegal in the USA. But carry on, if you like.
