The Newborn 102D 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. There is a welded plate in the back for securing the cartridge in place. The hook on the back allows it to hang on a ladder, and a seal puncture tool and a spout cutter are built into the side of the gun for opening cartridges without a knife.
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.

Incredible performance
Great price, sturdy, and as soon as let off the handle it stops on a dime⦠but this, I threw my old one out after first use of this.

Easy to use
I needed this for a quick home repair project. It arrived quickly and as described. It is easy to load the new tube/cartridge into this tool and is very simple to operate. It seems fairly sturdily constructed and will hopefully last for a while. Based on my experience so far, I would repurchase.

Great product despite low price!
I purchased this to use with caulk for my windows. I had never used or purchased caulking materials but this one had good reviews and fit my needs. It is very well made and study. I was able to load my tube of caulk and caulk my windows easily.Included was a âCaulk-Buddyâ finishing tool and 2 caps. The finishing tool was greatly appreciated and does make the caulk job look very clean and professional. At times I would use a plastic knife or a dampened finger to press caulk into the gap (the window frame was separating from the drywall and was causing a lot of draft).Donât let the low price make you question if this is a quality product. As long as it works for your caulk type, go for it! No need to spend 3x for the same item.

Buy, buy, buy – donât spend more and waste money
I have owned cheap guns and expensive guns over the years. Most recently I loaned out my expensive gun to my dad. He lives a good distance away and I was in the need of a gun, so I looked to Amazon to buy something cheap to get me by.Honestly, I was surprised at the quality for $6. My $25 gun has a more comfortable grip, but really who cares? Unless itâs something that you do for a living, this gun works perfect for the DIY house.Donât bother spending the extra money. This thing is durable, comes with all the features you would expect from an expensive gun, and to my surprise came with a caulk tool and tube tips.You cannot go wrong for this price.
