The biggest benefit I see is consistency, especially for interior caulking that will be exposed. That’s the hardest part to get right is caulking between two surfaces for a long distance and not getting a little hump every time you release and pull the trigger.
I just wanted to say in observation, that although the gentleman was recommending the Dewalt for his reasons, the Milwaukee in the brief amount of time used did not have the excess caulk leak out after releasing the trigger. Additionally the Milwaukee #2 setting was slow but compared to the Dewalt seemed to be more controlled. The fact that it was less weight shows less hand/arm fatigue which is a plus. For the Dewalt someone mentioned the 6 setting blew the top off of the caulk- for the price of the gun that would upset me quite alot if that occurred. The one positive is ergonomically the DeWalt will have less hand grip fatigue-which maybe huge to some. Just my thoughts/observation.
Thanks for the comment. I had that tube of caulk in the oven to warm up since it had been in my cold vehicle prior to deciding to make the video so it was extra soft. To all, I've had this caulk gun for about a year now and whenever I need to caulk something small, I always reach for the manual gun. This tool is really only useful for big repetitive jobs.
I bought the DeWalt because I already had the batteries. I had to recaulk the AC on my camper. started out on 6, and it blew the whole top end out of my caulk tube. Finally brought it down to about one and a half, and it did the job nicely going quickly through about six tubes. I like it, but agree with you, if it's just a small job, use the hand one. Good video as always.
It also has enough power, if the tip is clogged, to press through and have all of the caulk push backwards towards the plunger making a huge mess. Thanks for watching.
Mostly I just use the hand powered one but when I have to apply multiple tubes or if the temperatures are cold and it's harder to move I use the battery powered DeWalt. It's handy. Thanks for watching!
True. I give the DeWalt a pass through because I had the caulk in a 170°F oven before I did this video. It was softer than normal which contributed to the mess. I do not have problems with that happening in other circumstances.
Always feel like these are a waste of money since the manual caulk gun is arguably the best still. If you have a manual No drip caulk gun with a high/low force like the Husky caulk gun, then you can go crazy fast and if you’re good, it’ll come out nice and flat as it should be If you’re old then maybe these electric caulk guns are for you… maybe… there’s a 60+ yr old that I work that is arguably more built than me in my 20s 🥹😂…. That and High force on the husky caulk gun make the trigger feel light as a feather Edit: I’m mostly referring to the 10oz version
I've had it for 2 years now and barely use it. It is steady though when I do need it for larger projects. Thanks! By the way, I know what you mean about the 60-year olds. They are tough, tough, tough to be doing construction at that age and have learned all the tricks. Take care!

Just got the Dewalt one today. It is a good investment. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the tools.
Thanks for watching!
I am considering an electric caulk gun because my hands tire easily in old age

I use the Milwaukee M18 on Auto glass urethane every day, it's 950 force push
Yes, I painting the exterior and now my hand hurts from the regular caulking gun.
The waukee didnt make a mess
