SILIGUN™ Gen-3 Compact Caulking Gun - No Drip Caulk Gun - Patented Design - Lightweight ABS Frame - Works with All 10 oz Tubes

I got this today and used it several times already. I read the reviews and some were pretty critical about it. I have absolutely no complaints. I work on RV’s and today had to seal 3 small bathroom sinks. I was able to get all the way around the sink without hitting the feed rod on the cabinet, faucet and walls.It does a nice bead. I don’t cut my tips at an angle and I either push or run 90 degrees from what I am sealing. It wasn’t even a problem that the tube moves back as you use it.It doesn’t cause the caulk to dry out because the body of the tube stays sealed.I would definitely not use it to seal a roof or anything big like that but I don’t think it was designed for that.Also, I cut the tail end off the tube and it was even more easy to maneuver around small areas. it will not replace my big gun but it definitely has a place.Absolutely recommended.

The media could not be loaded. It is a great attempt and may work for a couple home projects with people who do not use it every day or in their normal job . . . . but anyone who really has to do some serious caulking will also come to the same conclusion. This is really only worth one place in your toolbox and that is the trash. I have bought a ton of products over the past ten years, and very rarely does a product trigger a written review from me. . . . this almost caused me a ton of money when I was doing roof work of an RV where it is very important to get it correct and not have additional leaks . . . and this one product almost didn't allow me to finish an important caulking project . . . if it wasn't for a screwdriver and the force of my fingers, the project wouldn't have gotten completed putting the RV at a greater risk for leaks and additional problems. SO TRUST ME, anyone who uses this more than one or two times and/or who needs this for a rapid, well caulking need in a brief period of time, will come to the same conclusion which is - NICE attempt, but does not perform like a normal caulking gun and for the most part fails miserably. As the video shows, when you need the caulk to come out of the gun and you don't get the results when the trigger is pressed, particularly when you need it to accomplish a project, you will realize this product only deserves one place in your garage or toolbox and that is in the trash. TRUST ME - DO NOT BUY!

I saw this and thought I would give it a try. It wasn't cheap, but after using it for a considerable amount of time, I will say it is worth the extra money. It takes conserderably less effort to dispense caulk than a conventional gun. I used it side by side with a conventional caulking gun because of neding a diferent color, and I didn't want to remove the tube I was using. It is way easrsier on you hands , requiring about 1/2 the pull effort. But, that is the one drawback on this gun - because it splits the plastic tube as you use it, I didn't want to hassel with trying to line up the split tube to the cutter if I swaped tubes.

For the job it works great easy to use does not take much space. My problem was getting the used cartridges out, I had to get my neighbor to help me.

Very comfortable. This compact caulking gun is a game changer! Its small size makes it incredibly easy to handle, especially in tight spaces where larger tools can’t reach. Comfortable grip, smooth trigger action, and precise application. Perfect for detailed work. Highly recommend for anyone needing control and convenience in tough spots!

The Siligun is what you get when someone comes up with a truly innovative but flawed and fundamentally unnecessary solution to a problem someone else already solved. It's neat but, as my headline says, don't throw away your other caulk guns.Disclaimer: I just tried it with half a tube I'd already run through my standard caulk gun. I'll update this review in the future if its performance changes.-= The Good =-It actually does what it says. The tube is drawn into the gun as you go. This means the overall assembly does indeed get more compact as you advance the tube.It's easy to load and doesn't take much pressure on the handle to advance the tube.-= The Bad =-There's quite a list.1. One of the neat things about a regular caulk gun is that you can cut the tip on the caulk tube at an angle. Then, if you need to reposition the angle on the tip, you can spin the caulk tube in the gun. With the Siligun, since it cuts into the tube, you can't rotate the caulk tube in the gun. The orientation the tube is in when you start is the way it'll be when you end.2. Versus a standard rod-press caulk gun, the Siligun doesn't advance the tube as much per squeeze of the trigger. So if you're trying to run a bead, you'll need to pump the trigger more frequently; meaning you'll need to be super smooth or else able to tool the caulk after application.3. Because the tube is pulled INTO the gun as you go, each pull of the trigger actually pulls the tip of the caulk tube AWAY from the work material! As such, you'll need to move the gun closer to the material as you pull the trigger to run a constant bead.4. While the whole thing does end up pretty compact once the caulk tube is fed into the Siligun a bit, its blockiness can actually cause problems getting it into certain spots. For example, I was using it to caulk a seam between a soffit panel and fascia board. Once the caulk tube was far enough into the Siligun, I needed to take care of the angle I held it at or it would hit the fascia board. After I finished the first tube, I switched back to my regular caulk gun with the next tube.5. As others have noted, there's no let-off on the pressure on the caulk tube. Yes, the Siligun stops *dispensing* caulk when you let off the trigger. But it doesn't let the pressure off the caulk tube, so you'll still get caulk coming out of the tip for a bit. With a regular caulk gun, pop the lever on the rod and the pressure is off the tube. My workaround was to release the clutch on the Siligun and partially press the tube out of the gun. This meant I then had to pump the handle a good couple times to get back to a working state.-= Summary =-I'm torn on whether to return this or not. There may be times when the compactness comes in handy. But for 99% of the situations I face, I don't see this replacing my standard manual caulk gun (or definitely, for larger jobs, my battery-powered gun).TLDR; More of a novelty than a useful tool.

Definitely a better mouse trap, small works as advertised. Easy to use and to put away.
