Cartridges And Has A 10:1 Thrust Ratio For Use With Low Viscosity Materials Such As Latex. The Smooth Pressure Rod Requires Less Force And Is Quieter Than A Ratchet- Style Pressure Rod. The Rod Retracts After Each Pull Of The Trigger, Removing Pressure From The Tube To Help Prevent Dripping. The Handle And Trigger Are Padded For Comfort. There Is A Welded Plate In The Back For Securing The Cartridge In Place. A Seal Puncture Tool And A Spout Cutter Are Built Into The Side Of Gun For Opening Cartridges Without A Knife, And The Hook On The Back Allows It To Hang On A Ladder. Caulking Guns, Also Called Caulk Or Cartridge Guns, Dispense A Controlled Flow Of Products Such As Caulk, Sealants, And Adhesives From A Tube Or Cartridge. A Manual Caulking Gun Consists Of A Frame Which Holds The Tube, A Trigger, And A Rod Which Moves Forward When The Trigger Is Depressed, Dispensing The Product. Manual Caulking Guns Have A Thrust Ratio; The Higher The Thrust Ratio, The Easier It Is To Dispense The Caulk, Sealant, Or Adhesive. Air-Powered Or Pneumatic Caulking Guns Also Have A Frame And A Trigger, But Are Used With An Air Pressure Regulator That Pushes The Product From The Tube Using Air Pressure Instead Of A Rod. Newborn Brothers Company, Inc. Manufactures Sealant And Adhesive Dispensers And Accessories. The Company Was Founded In 1974 And Is Headquartered In Jessup, Md. The Newborn Brothers Gator trigger drip-free hex rod caulk gun features the patent pending, anti-drip gator trigger with a thermoplastic comfort grip ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue.

  • Excellent Quality!
Style: Gun
Buy it! This caulk tool is amazing! It has great control & does NOT leak! All the extra ‘perks’ on it are so helpful and work great! (Esp the tip cutting part! It’s sharp & a smooth cut!) It has a great weight and feel & the trigger control is so easy and natural! For the price … this was a great deal and great quality! Throwing my old ones away! ... show more

  • Great caulking gun
Style: Gun
I usually can't use caulkers because I 1) have small hands and limited grip strength, and 2) don't have a clue about their specific use and how to use them. HOWEVER, this was easy after some research and learning. Even though I still used this one for the wrong application, I was still able to operate it with a peanut butter like adhesive. I strongly believe if I had used the right level of caulker, it would have been a breeze. I'm a 5'4" small-frame female with a narly grip for being able to fit into a youth size football or baseball glove. This caulking gun was comfortable, well-balanced and made the job possible for me to do myself. I definitely recommend, but be sure it's rated for the material you will be using. ... show more

  • TOTALLY WORTH IT - ACTUALLY drip free, lightweight, sturdy, smooth & consistent trigger
Style: Gun
The media could not be loaded. After using a regular caulking gun for years, I was skeptical this product would be notably better but IT IS. Standard caulking guns require me to release the pressure on the caulk tube even after I release the trigger to avoid the release of caulk. When I release the trigger on the Newborn Octogun, the caulk flow actually stops, hence the no-drip. I can't tell you how many times I would forget to release the pressure on the tube only to look back and see a pile of wasted caulk that I would then have to clean up. • I used on: Trim, windows, bathroom tile, toilet seals (Used both 100% silicone and regular caulk) • Product as described: Yes • Quality: High • Packaging: Ok. • Responses to other reviews: There is no learning curve for this product BUT there is a learning curve for caulking. It is better to watch videos on caulking vs. reading an instruction manual • Me: DIYer @ age 40. PROS: ✔ Drip Free: IT ACTUALLY WORKS - See comment above. ✔ Trigger - Smooth and consistent. ✔ Lightweight, sturdy and comfortable handle ✔ Built in tools - There is a spout cutter and a seal puncture tool. CONS: • NONE!!! TIPS: 🔹 First time: If it is your first time caulking - watch a lot of videos on proper way to do it. It sounds silly for something conceptually so simple but it is an art form. 🔹 Cleaning: Wipe it down after each use - don’t wait until there are multiple layers built up. 🔹 Caulk tube cut: Watch videos on how to cut tube. Sand the tube at the cut. Seems silly but will dramatically improve your caulking. 🔹 Material Compatibility: Ensure the caulk or sealant used is appropriate for the gun's 10:1 thrust ratio, as thicker materials may require more effort ... show more

  • Great Caulking Gun, But Rivets Could Use Improvement
Style: Gun
The Newborn Octogun 930-GTD Drip-Free Caulking Gun is a solid and reliable tool for any caulking job. The Gator Trigger Grip provides excellent comfort and control, and the 10:1 thrust ratio makes it easy to apply caulk smoothly. The inclusion of a scraper and plug is a nice bonus, adding extra value. The smooth hex rod cradle with the built-in smoother tool helps with precision and cleanup. However, after using it for a while, I noticed that the rivets in the mechanism tend to wear out or wallow after some heavy usage. This is a bit of a drawback, as it affects the overall durability. While it still functions, the long-term wear could be a concern for frequent users. Overall, it’s a great tool for the price no issues with sticking handles or size in tight corners, just keep an eye on the rivets for extended use. ... show more

  • Not only a great buy- this is a great tool!
Style: Gun
Caulking guns have been long overdue for better designs, and this one is. As a builder using such things for decades, this is the best basic one I've ever seen, at any price- and the price is very good for the quality. The way the plunger is designed keeps residual pressure off the contents unless the handle is under pressure, and that is what gives it the non-drip advantage. The built in tube puncture tool is notmal- but the built in tip cutting tool is uncommon and saves time and labor. Built nice, comfortable and the built-in nozzle plug will save a lot of partially used caulk tubes from loss. Excellent product, I think the one to chose. ... show more

  • Best chalk gun I have owned!
Style: Gun
I have owned 4 chalk guns in the past and I bought this one to address chalk drips for my baseboard replacement DIY job. This one performed well as advertised. Very minimum drip/waste if not at all. Will be throwing away my old chalk guns soon. Happy as a camper!

This is really a well made caulking gun. I was very surprised with the quality and materials. It works really no drips. It's worth the money. My old caulk gun should be in a museum. My bad for waiting/ suffering so long.
