I don't have a brand and have never used one.

How many tubes in THIS case, 12?

What are some needs for one of these powered caulk guns? Building cars
and airplanes? Certainly not for home use. Say, caulking a new window
or door, might take a tube and a half.

I can't see the need for me.

You need a machine for 12 tubes of caulk! I used to go through that
twice week sometimes, Does anybody even use a screwdriver or handsaw
anymore. I still have handdrills, saws and even the unheard of
screwdrivers. A quality caulk gun will be working 30 years from now.

Floor joists when laying subfloor comes to mind. Not exactly typical home

Oren, there are folks on here that do quite a bit more than
handyman their own home. You pump a case or two of NP1 or other
good urethane caulk a day, even with a high leverage gun, and you
may be looking for some power also. The real reason to consider
one is the quality of bead - you can focus all your efforts on
looks and installation. Until you have run one, it is difficult
to explain.

Oh, I appreciate the tool or being able to buy one, if I needed it.

My worst problem with a regular DIY caulk gun was the caulk was cold.
We put it the Sun to warm it up.

I have wrist problems, and a thumb I broke when I was 16. I have arthritis.
I have carpal tunnel syndrome, and sometimes when I grab something hard, it
feels like I just grabbed a chunk of cholla cactus. So, I would like a
battery operated one to run a case or two of caulking to fix after a less
than stellar job by the dip**** builder of the house I bought.

Why does a guy who has a hand crank drill need an electric one? Why does a
guy who has a hammer need a nailgun? Other than they want one, they can do
more work with it in the same amount of time, and in a lot of cases, do
better consistent work. And not work as hard, or get repetitive motion
injuries.

I think it will be okay. My Mom's dead, so I don't have to clear it with
her, either. Thanky DanG for the rational response.

If I went through all my tools and got rid of things that were just
convenience, I'd get rid of half the stuff.

I bought an air operated one from McMaster _ Carr a few months ago. I
don't recall the brand (it is at the shop so I can't look) and it works very
well. For $50, I should have bought it a lot sooner as it saves time,
saves on the wrist for doing a lot of caulk. We used it for some rather
heavy stuff that was difficult to pump in a hand gun. If you have a small
compressor, go for it.

epinions.com sux big time. Sounds like the reviews were written by English

That is why I come to newsgroups. There are still those who ask like my
poor dead Daddy, "Why do you HAVE to do that?", but there are always a
couple of BTDT posts that stand out as the roses among the weeds.

I WANT ONE before I go through a case of caulk. If anyone doesn't agree,
cope! They're adults.

My FIL got a new pancake cheap at the pawn shop recently. Should do quite
nicely. Put receptacles on the roof for Christmas lights, which will reach
the compressor easily. It's cool here, and any caulk will be thick. Should
be done in time for my snack and nap.

It's better to demonstrate that one has done minimal research. At the

able to post something intelligent such as "my price range is..." "I
see models have feature X, this one has Y, I'm a left handed
psychopath missing three fingers and a foot, is that important?"

Here's some news: peoples needs differ and what might be ideal for
one person might not be for others. Being told that a particular
model costing ten thousand dollars is great could be avoided by simply
learning the field and posting some requirements.

The term you are searching for is 'requirements definition'. That is
something end users are seldom capable of creating without being led by
the hand. Last time I visited my father, he and his business associate
were discussing and complaining about one of the doctor's wives that
could not make up her mind as to what she needed/wanted in the house
design they were doing for her. I started laughing, and they stared at
me until I explained that it was almost exactly the same situation I
faced on a regular basis in the computer and software world. The
customer wants SOMETHING, but they are rather fuzzy on exactly WHAT they
want....
