Newborn 930-GTD Drip-Free Smooth Hex Rod Cradle Caulking Gun with Gator Trigger Comfort Grip, 1/10 Gallon Cartridge, 10:1 Thrust Ratio

Description

The Newborn 930-GTD Drip-Free Smooth Hex Rod Cradle
caulking gun has a steel half-barrel frame that fits 1/10-gal. cartridges and
has a 10:1 thrust ratio for use with low viscosity materials such as latex.
The smooth pressure rod requires less force and is quieter than a ratchet-
style pressure rod. The rod retracts after each pull of the trigger, removing
pressure from the tube to help prevent dripping. The handle and trigger are
padded for comfort. There is a welded plate in the back for securing the
cartridge in place. A seal puncture tool and a spout cutter are built into the
side of gun for opening cartridges without a knife, and the hook on the back
allows it to hang on a ladder. Caulking guns, also called caulk or cartridge
guns, dispense a controlled flow of products such as caulk, sealants, and
adhesives from a tube or cartridge. A manual caulking gun consists of a frame
which holds the tube, a trigger, and a rod which moves forward when the
trigger is depressed, dispensing the product. Manual caulking guns have a
thrust ratio; the higher the thrust ratio, the easier it is to dispense the
caulk, sealant, or adhesive. Air-powered or pneumatic caulking guns also have
a frame and a trigger, but are used with an air pressure regulator that pushes
the product from the tube using air pressure instead of a rod. Newborn
Brothers Company, Inc. manufactures sealant and adhesive dispensers and
accessories. The company was founded in 1974 and is headquartered in Jessup,
MD. The Newborn Brothers Gator trigger drip-free hex rod caulk gun
features the patent pending, anti-drip gator trigger with a thermoplastic
comfort grip ergonomically designed to reduce hand fatigue. Other features
include an all-steel construction for increased durability, a professional
strength hex rod, and a ladder hook for added safety.
