Albion 380-5P Special Deluxe Caulk Gun - Heavy-Duty 10 oz Manual Cartridge Applicator

The Albion 380-5P Special Deluxe Caulk Gun is a heavy-duty 1/10-gallon (10 oz) manual cartridge applicator engineered for long service life and precise bead control. Its 5/16″ square drive rod (rotatable to spread wear) and double gripping plates deliver consistent push force, while the zinc-chromate plated half-barrel carriage resists corrosion and abuse on the job. A concealed puncture wire keeps hands clean at start-up, and a recoil hook enables a simple drip-reduction technique at bead end. Compatible with common construction sealants and adhesives, the 380-5P is a maintainable tool with replaceable wear parts that keeps crews productive across glazing, façade, roofing, and general construction tasks.
