Newborn, #255 Smooth Rod Revolving Frame Caulk Gun – 29 oz, 18:1 Thrust

The Newborn 255 Smooth Rod Revolving Frame Caulk Gun is a professional-grade manual dispensing tool designed for 29 oz (1/4 gal) cartridges. It features a smooth pressure rod that delivers consistent material flow with less hand effort and quieter operation than ratchet-style rods, paired with a revolving steel frame that helps maintain bead orientation around corners.

Durable construction includes a zinc alloy handle and trigger, precision sintered friction plate, and convenient built-in tools for opening and preparing cartridges.

Extra Durable Components

Q: Is this caulk gun better for heavy adhesive work than a standard 10 oz gun?

A: Yes. With its 18:1 thrust ratio and smooth rod design, this caulk gun is suited for thicker, high-viscosity materials that are often more difficult to dispense with smaller, lower-thrust guns.

Q: How does the revolving frame help during application?

A: The revolving frame lets the barrel rotate as you work, which helps maintain bead orientation when caulking around corners or continuous runs without twisting your wrist.

Q: Does this caulk gun include built-in tools to open and prepare cartridges?

A: Yes. It includes a built-in seal puncture tool and a patented spout cutter, so you can prepare cartridges without separate tools.
