Buying Guide: Dripless Caulking and Epoxy Guns

Caulking Guns
Dripless caulking guns come in composite models such as the ETS1100, ETS2000, ETS3000 and ETS5000, and in metal models such as the C150, CH200, CR200, HR300 and SH200. The C150 is an entry level metal gun with a 10 Ounce Capacity. The CH200 and CR200 include a ladder hook, nozzle cutter and clean-out poker.

Drip-Free Mechanism
The trademarked drip-free mechanism is the key feature across the caulking guns. It stops the flow of caulk when you release the trigger, which helps keep sealant from continuing to flow from the tip between uses. Some models also use a ratchet rod or hex rod drive, so check the model name before you buy.

Epoxy Gun
The DC600 is a dual component epoxy gun with a 26:1 thrust ratio for thick materials. It holds both 1:1 mix ratio and 2:1 mix ratio epoxy tubes, and it has variable mix ratio plates and adjustment screws to modify the trigger thrust gap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Dripless make?
Dripless offers caulking guns in composite and metal versions, including ratchet rod and hex rod models, along with a dual component epoxy gun. The caulking guns feature a drip-free mechanism that stops caulk flow when you release the trigger.

How do I choose the right gun?
Start with the tube or cartridge you plan to use. For the C150, check the 10 Ounce Capacity against your product. For epoxy, check whether your tubes are 1:1 or 2:1 mix ratio, since the DC600 holds both. Measure your tubes or match the model to the size on your old gun before ordering.

Does the drip-free feature help between uses?
Yes. The mechanism stops the flow of caulk when you release the trigger, so sealant is less likely to keep flowing from the tube tip and make a mess when you set the gun down. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and maintenance.
