Review : Great Tool!!

Ive been a builder for nearly 50 years and all I can say about this tool is I wish I had bought it sooner. This thing is great!!
I own many Makita and Dewalt batteries so I read the reviews for both Makita and Dewalt and the Dewalt seemed to have complaints re the caulk being fed too fast.......so I chose and purchased the Makita hoping for the best. My helper is Very picky when it comes to caulking jobs. We had been working on caulking the seams of an old Airstream trailers belly pan, a good test for the new gun, after getting the flow adjustment setting to where he wanted it he really never looked back, never went back to the old hand operated gun. I too have used the gun and wow, it makes caulking jobs so easy!!................(This is a glowing review and I am not in any way being compensated for this review or connected with Makita in any way).....take care!

Review : Love this tool

Love this tool. It works great. I own and operate a window business so I do a lot of caulking. So I bought this makita caulking gun. Wow all I had to do was press the trigger. I install 15-20 Windows per day most days (new construction). That's all four sides of the window nail flange that gets caulked. Now that it's winter and the caulking is a bit colder(keep it in the truck on the way to work) the tool failed from the force of trying to work the tool. The carbon fiber caulking tube holder is threaded and now it has failed and just jumps the threads as soon as a small amount of pressure is applied. I'm going to call makita tomorrow their website states a one year limited warranty.
I've only had the tool since November 1st 2016 and now I'm a few days past the return date of thirty days for Amazon.
I'm going to suggest the carbon fiber caulking tube holder and the carbon fiber mating washer be made of a stronger material.
The other reason give this tool only four stars is the carbon fiber plunger at the end of the push rod is not keeping the inevitable caulking squeeze out from reaching the rod and making a mess.
