DEWALT 20V MAX Caulking Gun, Cordless, 10oz, Variable Speed Trigger, Interchangeable Canister Trays, Bare Tool Only (DCE560B)

I've always liked, and used Dewalt tools for decades now. I recently purchased a newer 20v drill, but still have a working 14.4v too. I ain't getting any younger, and my list of stuff to get done never seems to get any shorter.I was using the old fashioned type caulking gun, and noticed my forearms, and hands just don't have the strength they used to have, and found myself struggling to get through what should have been a short project. So I thought: "I wonder if they make a powered caulking gun?"Enter the DEWALT 20V MAX Caulking Gun, Cordless, 10oz, Variable Speed Trigger, Interchangeable Canister Trays, Bare Tool Only (DCE560B)I picked it up June 22, 2024, and wanted to wait until I had a chance to use it before posting a review.First, I don't care if your a pro, or a seasoned DIY'er, your going to need to put in a little bit of practice before you dive into a project.This one comes with variable six speeds, and I haven't yet found a reason to go past two. The material I'm working with flows PDQ. Perhaps with a thicker material, I'd use a setting higher than two.Second, I found that on setting one, if I flick the trigger, and let the material flow, I get a great bead going, then wait for it to slow a bit, "trigger flick", wait for it to slow, and on like that til the job is done.If I squeeze the trigger all the way down, and run a bead, when I release the trigger, the anti-drip kicks in and draws the plunger back. You'll see what I mean once you get a chance to use this cool caulking gun,At any rate you'll pry this great DeWalt tool from my cold dead hands before I part with it. I've redone all the exterior window sills, as well as some gaps in the eves, and all the exterior wood trim around the windows and doors.No sore hands or forearms, I get a ton of work done, and the results look great!Thanks DeWalt!

Effortless precision, no cord hassle! Perfect for tight spaces and long projects. Lightweight, durable, and delivers smooth, professional results. Highly recommend for DIYers and pros alike!

Easy to use and does an excellent job.

I got this gun to help with two relatively large household projects. I had to recaulk an entire shower that I was waterproofing/sealing, and a kitchen countertop where the caulking in the joints had failed. Both involved long runs of silicone that I had done relatively badly before.This gun worked great. A couple of pointers - first, make sure you ensure that the caulk is loaded in the tip just before you get started, otherwise it will be an unwelcome surprise at exactly when you pull it back to check why nothing is coming out, and second, do not assume the advertised pull back of the piston will be enough to stop ejecting material. Definitely hit the top button that releases pressure. I created a gigantic mess on my first try because I believed the hype that the gun was dripless. To be sure, the piston does move back when you release the trigger, but it doesn't relieve enough pressure to stop caulk from coming out in copious quantities.That being said, the gun has been very effective. I have some issues with trigger finger and forearm pain from repetitive stress, and this gun allowed me to get the caulk where I needed it without having to unnecessarily stop. It is obviously a bit heavier than a manual caulking gun, but it isn't really unwieldy. Just use both hands, and handle carefully.

It's been awhile since I've been excited about a tool. After applying a large quantity of roofing sealant with a hand caulking gun, I told myself I'd look for a cordless gun to make it easier on myself. Although there are less expensive and highly reviewed cordless guns out there, I'm already invested in Dewalts 20V Max batteries and therefore was limited to one of their guns at a price point $50 more expensive (gun only). But after using the gun on a small project, I wish I had bought one sooner. It's a dream to install caulking now.Positives about the gun:- Relatively lightweight even with the battery and a full tube- Speed setting allows for perfect control of the caulk- The tool isn't metal, but seems well made even in plastic. I don't expect a caulking gun to be heavy duty, unlike say, a miter saw.- The reverse attribution at the end of a dispense is a nice touch and neededNegatives- It would be nice if it was possible to swap to a larger tube size. I believe another reviewer said this is possible because the larger gun tube holder will fit this gun, even if Dewalt says it isn't the case. Regardless, I personally use standard size tubes so not a deal breaker.- I think the price point of the gun is a bit high, especially since this is a bare bones tool purchase without a battery. But I understand, why they do this, so folks that have not invested in Dewalt will have to purchase the tool with a battery. For those of us who have invested, I feel like we are penalized, having to pay higher prices for a tool without the battery.All in all, I am happy with the gun and look forward to using it. I think it's a good addition to my Dewalt tool line.Update:Now that I've used the tool, I have a couple more things to add in my review.The caulking tube metal puncture rod at first, would not stay secure. Then, it just broke off at the metal rivet. Total design flaw that should be corrected.The plastic sleeve that holds the tube, IS SHATTERPROOF, unlike one reviewer mentioned.All in all I am still happy with the purchase of this gun. There's a slight learning curve to the process compared to using a manual caulking gun, but you'll figure it out quickly and easily.

This is absolutely the best!!Im a Milwaukee fan but didn’t want a m12So i went with the DeWaltBearable speed and the ability to take a different size tube!Much less waste also because of its super smooth Flow!
