Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dripless Inc. ETS3000 Ergo-Tech Industrial Caulk Gun
Customer Review: Best caulk gun I've used
Summary: 5 Stars
I use a lot of caulk in my job and have used all the various caulking guns that are out there. Every time I'd encounter a new, or even slightly modified style of gun I'd have to buy it. I was continually searching for a better gun because all the guns I've used sucked. I really had given up hope for ever finding a decent caulk gun. Then I came across this Ergo-Tech thing from Dripless Inc. Finally! A caulk gun that is almost a joy to use. (I say almost because, let's face it, there ain't much joy to be had in laying down a bead of caulk.)
I mainly use two types of sealants with this gun: Vulkem 116 and GE Contractors Silicone. This gun works great with both even though they are at opposite ends of the viscosity spectrum. Vulkem is very thick and can be tough to squeeze out especially on cold days. This gun's 18:1 work ratio and rubberized soft grip make it a breeze to expel even chilled Vulkem. On the other hand silicone can be too viscous and it's always eager to drip from the tube no matter what you do. But the Ergo-Tech's dripless feature really does work! You can lay down a line of silicone, release the trigger, and that's it. It stops! I was and still am impressed.
Other features that make this a great a caulk gun are the convenient ladder hook, it's light weight, and it's ability to disengage the dripless feature (because many jobs are easier and faster with the dripless thing turned off.) I know some people may shy away from a gun that has it's main body made of plastic. But let me tell you this is not cheap, thin, flimsy breakable plastic. This is rugged, thick, industrial type polymer material. Strong yet lightweight.
So far the only complaint I have about this product is the switch used to toggle between no-drip & drip modes doesn't snap into position firm enough. It tends to easily get bumped into the middle position between the two settings. Not really a big deal and it's something I can tolerate considering all the other pluses this item has going for it.
I can't comment on the clean out rod (poker) or the tip cutter because I don't use them. I have a separate poker rod in my toolbelt specifically for breaking the seal on new tubes of caulk and as for cutting the tip of a new tube, well, everyone knows you have to use a razor-knife to get a cleanly cut tip in the shape you need it.
