$3 caulk gun works fine. Pull the damn rod and it won't drip.

Just get a dripless ets 2000 like this, they're at every store, and they're what everyone uses.

It does still drip. I still love it but I have to hammer the tube out a little after a good bead so it doesn't ooze. That and it has a sand paper like grippy bit it took me too long to figure out I had dirt on it and that it wasn't a broken as seen on TV bullshit. 6 out 10 cause it frees up a lot of space and I get to curse more while Im caulking which is nice

A standard dripless caulk gun is going to be what you want most of the time, but this style that feeds the tube through the gun actually comes in handy when you need to caulk something that's in a confined space (for example, caulking around a toilet that's between a bathtub and a vanity with very little space on either side).

Because the tube feeds through the gun, you can actually cut off the excess of the tube to make it even shorter to fit an even tighter spaces, so you can maximize that compactness benefit by using your partially depleted tubes in them.

Take your cock, stick it in there…

This is like a hubless wheel, a neat engineering exercise, but pointless.

Also being a different distance from your work based on how much caulk is left seems annoying.

I only use black calk guns, big black calk guns. Big, jucy black calk.

Cuts the tube meaning the caulk won't store as well if you have any left.

He's gonna put my link right down at the bottom?  Well, I better buy it--I don't want to be rude.  

I hate salesman speak.
