After years of never ever being able to load and use a caulk gun, I grabbed a friendly geezer at Bunnings and declared my frustration with caulk guns, but that I really needed to learn to use one faced with my renovation from Hell. He was brilliant and wisely co-erced me away from buying the usual cheap blue metal caulking guns, and instead I bought the Uni-Pro Professional Heavy Duty gun. Holy moley...what a difference! No more caulk squirting out the back end, getting stuck, swearing, it was simple and worked easily and smoothly. So happy...my Achilles heel of DIY has been conquered. So if you ever go to grab a cheap blue one, grab this one instead. I meet so many people who avoid caulk guns because of Bad experiences.
Afternoon! @ezzie
Glad you're all sorted now. 👍

I was thinking of you on Friday when I bought my blue gun. 😁
From Monarch - designed for the smaller cartridges - which I like.
Haven't tried it yet.
Above it are "dripless" ones. They work really well - the identifying feature (I think) is the lack of a 'parking brake' trigger that unless deactivated, maintains pressure = drips. Just a theory.
Ooh, yes I've seen the smaller tubes. I was tempted by the dripless guns, but baulked at the price...or should that be caulked!
The gun I have is very smooth, but must admit the 'after dribble' is like tending to a toddler with a snotty nose. I'll give the dripless a go next time
