We had a chance to test out the new Milwaukee M18 Caulk Guns recently and the most impressive feature was certainly the control this gun provided. Not only does the trigger offer very sensitive variable speed control but it also has a dial gauge to really fine tune the flow rates. If you have ever used cordless caulk guns in the past this is normally the biggest complaint, they are just sloppy. Also the Anti-Drip feature cuts off flow right when the trigger is released so you don’t get that last glop of material. With a claim of 200 tubes per charge this is the perfect tool for heavy caulk and adhesives. Read the full Milwaukee Press Release below and check out this video from our Friends at Chales & Hudson.
MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Electric Tool continues to expand the fastest growing 18V platform in the industry with the introduction of the new M18™ Cordless Caulk and Adhesive Gun. Capable of delivering up to 950 lbs. of force for the highest viscosity materials, this powerful applicator supplies unmatched pushing force for the toughest applications, even in cold temperatures. The variable speed trigger and six-setting maximum speed dial optimize the tool’s 0-21 IPM (inches per minute) flow rate for best-in-class control.
“The combination of incredible power and optimized speed settings will provide users with the ideal solution for dispensing a wide range of sealants and adhesives,” says David Lincoln, Associate Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool Corporation. “The M18™ Caulk Gun also gives users the ability to accomplish these projects with less fatigue as dispensing constantly with manual tools can be very cumbersome.”
In addition, a Milwaukee® exclusive Anti-Drip mechanism instantly stops excess material from oozing upon the release of the trigger, and a rotating collar design allows for maximize bead control around turns. Milwaukee® built all metal gears provide unparalleled power, while Constant Flow Technology eliminates motor oscillation, resulting in steady material dispensing and even beads at all viscosity levels. With unsurpassed run-time, the new tool will dispense up to 200 tubes of 10oz construction on just one Compact RED LITHIUM™ battery charge.
The M18™ Cordless Caulk and Adhesive Gun will be sold in kits with the options of 10oz, Sausage, and Quart style material containers. With an interchangeable Quick-Change carriage design, carriage accessories will be sold separately to allow the user to quickly change the tool to accommodate different material styles.
The M18™ Cordless Platform continues to be the fastest growing LITHIUM-ION system with over 30 tools to date. Milwaukee® is committed to the ongoing development of this platform and will continue to provide innovative solutions that offer industry leading reliability, performance and ergonomics.
