  • Nice caulking tool for a good price.
Style: Gun
Works great, slow and controlled release, no drip, easy load, handy tools. Mine didn’t come with a caulk plug as described but still giving it 5 stars as it works very well for a good price.

  • My absolute favorite caulking guns
Style: Gun
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is one of the best caulking guns on the market, at least in this price ballpark. It's well made with good features, but most importantly, it is very smooth operating. I have three of these, but recently bought the two I'm talking about in this review. I used one for normal white trim caulk and the other for clear silicone after installing new base for a Pergo Outlast+ laminate floor install. I was very impressed with the comfort and performance of these caulking guns. I've used a lot of caulking guns over the years but IMO, these are the best I've used. The fad today seems to be with powered caulking guns of which I own two from Milwaukee. However, for finish work they are not a good match. They're great for applying liquid nails for a subfloor install though. Don't be fooled thinking you can use them for every job. Trust me, I've tried. These manual caulking guns are so much nicer to use if you're not pumping out cartridge after cartridge of adhesive. ... show more

  • Great Caulk Gun with much appreciated extras ~ works great!!!
Style: Gun
Very nice caulk gun and esp appreciated the included caulking tools and caulk tube plug for $12.99. As the basic no frills no-drip gun was $9.99, so why not!! Gun works great, my 10.5oz caulk tube fit perfectly and caulk job was a breeze. No more self squeezing caulk tubes for this girl! I've graduated to the caulk gun... LOL!!! Highly Recommend! ... 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

  • If you hate caulking you will love this product
Style: Gun
Drip-Free Caulk Gun - No Mess, No Fuss! You will love to caulk again I recently had the pleasure of using the Drip-Free Caulk Gun during a home renovation project, and I must say, it completely revolutionized my caulking experience. This innovative tool promises a mess-free application, and it delivers on that promise with flying colors. Design and Build Quality: The design of the Drip-Free Caulk Gun is both practical and ergonomic. It fits comfortably in hand, allowing for precise control and reducing fatigue during extended use. The build quality is excellent, with durable materials that feel sturdy and capable of withstanding the rigors of frequent use. Drip-Free Mechanism: What sets this caulking gun apart is its ingenious drip-free mechanism. Traditional caulking guns often result in messy drips and wasted caulk, but this model eliminates those frustrations entirely. The built-in pressure relief mechanism prevents excess caulk from oozing out after releasing the trigger, ensuring a clean and professional finish every time. Ease of Use: Using the Drip-Free Caulk Gun is a breeze, even for beginners. The trigger mechanism operates smoothly, providing precise control over the flow of caulk. I appreciated the adjustable bead control feature, which allows for customization of the caulk bead size to suit various applications. Plus, the quick-release lever makes loading and unloading cartridges effortless. Versatility: This caulking gun is compatible with standard caulk cartridges, making it suitable for a wide range of caulking projects around the home. Whether caulking seams, gaps, or joints in bathrooms, kitchens, or windows, this tool proves versatile and reliable. Clean-Up and Maintenance: Cleanup is a breeze with the Drip-Free Caulk Gun. The smooth surfaces and clever design make it easy to wipe down and maintain after use. The drip-free mechanism minimizes mess, further simplifying the cleanup process and saving both time and frustration. However, I would highly recommend keeping a wet towel or tissues to wipe your finger on before removing excess caulk. This would make the application look more professional. Value for Money: While the Drip-Free Caulk Gun may be priced slightly higher than traditional caulking guns, its superior performance and mess-free application more than justify the investment. The time and effort saved from avoiding messy cleanup and wasted caulk alone make it worth every penny. In conclusion, the Drip-Free Caulk Gun is a game-changer for anyone tackling caulking projects around the home. Its innovative drip-free mechanism, ergonomic design, and ease of use make caulking a hassle-free and satisfying experience. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a homeowner looking to tackle simple repairs, this caulking gun is an indispensable tool that will make your projects cleaner, easier, and more professional-looking. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Great Caulk
Style: Gun
No extra drip.
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2026 by Brett

  • well designed, well built
Style: Gun
After using one variant or another of a basic steel caulking gun for 50 years, I was skeptical of one that tried too hard to do too many things, but I was won over by the Newborn Octogun. It's truly non-drip! Stop pulling the trigger and the caulk stops flowing NOW! The description didn't say anything about the paint or coating being easier to keep clean than other guns, but I found that caulk doesn't want to stick as well to the gun, making clean up that much easier and faster. The handle is comfortable, and I tried an older tube of caulk that had some resistance due to hardening caulk in the nozzle. The Newborn gun trigger took a LOT LESS force to push the calk out than my older, ratchet type. My older smooth rod type gun wouldn't push any out, no matter how hard I squeezed. The attached tools, especially the caulk tube cap/plug are handy as well. I'm glad I chose this one. ... show more

  • Great value!
Style: Gun
I did a lot of researching and decided on this caulk gun. After using it to caulk the bathtub I can say I'm satisfied with the purchase. The handle was comfortable, I was able to cut the tip of the caulk without issue, the puncture tool did its job, and it was drip-free as advertised. This is my first caulk gun, so I can't really compare it to others, but I don't think I'll need to look for another one for a while. ... show more
