Another use for this is applying windshield urethane. This stuff is like pushing thick mud through a pencil hole. Good luck doing that with a manual gun. Tried it once. Took two men 45+ minutes to lay down 20' of urethane going 6" at a time because our hands were so sore. Borrowee this gun from a friend, took 5 minutes to do the same job. Well work it. Prices are all over the place on these. All the way from $50(Home Depot) to $120 online. Do some shopping around. Sometimes Home Depot offers a free tool if you buy two batteries. So, you can get two 6 amp batteries plus this tool for around $100. Well worth it if you need extra batteries for other tools.

Great video on this guy! I have one NIB for future use, but never have I seen this in use. Great tips throughout!

Excellent review, no others had mentioned the lack of drip

Let me give you a tip! Cut the tip straight without 45 degrees or any angle and you will get perfect caulk and you can change direction without stopping or making mess.

Definitely want to pick one up now, I do trim work daily, but of course keep a standard gun nearby for closets and ladder work. Awesome review!

Thanks for the review. Definitely gonna perfect for my job.

Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day

LOL..I was watching this video to remind myself how to use it. I couldn't pull the plunger back out once I put the caulk tube in. Sure enough it exploded, just like the guy said it did to him!! Ugh. but thankfully I had some mineral spirits and it cleaned it up pretty good. First time I ever knew these tubes could explode since I have only used it once. Thanks for the heads up

This was a great video. Thanks for showcasing this. It will help me speed up my job.

Thanks I'm off to buy one now!

Definitely is going to get one. Hate the wasted and leftover caulk

Thanks, great job! On my "Soap Box" moment first: Very well done video review. Dialog preparation before recording is evident here. (I'm guessing that you had a few retakes to keep the continuity flowing) Lighting and audio very good. And thank you for NOT HAND HOLDING THE RECORDING DEVICE AND WAVING ALL OVER THE PLACE! Far too many You Tube DIYers put content on the site that have no clue how to produce a video. If a video DIY begins with the "waving the camera device all over", I just stop it and move on. OK, now to the review. You made great points on the pros/cons. I have a tool chest full of Ryobi 18v cordless tools. I consider them to be home owner DIY functional but at the lower end quality of the top cordless tool brands available, thus less expensive. I am looking very closely at upgrading to all Milwaukie or DeWalt. But, you point out in the video very succinctly, that this Ryobi tool is affordably priced. I found it at home Depot for $49.00. I have a project on right now that needs to get finished quickly, so it is off to Home Depot to get this tool and wait on dropping $400 to $500 on upgrades for awhile!

Damn, It's so cheap ! 90€ back here in Europe (France) Nice review, thanks !

Good video thank you

Nice review. A+

Good video 👍

i had one and the gears stripped out on it, its the only ryobi tool i have ever regretted/hated

I've had this guy for a while now, went to use it this morning and as soon as i put a battery in the motor starts running 🤷‍♂️ it doesn't feed the rail though until i squeeze thr trigger. I was going to return it until I saw the revised model has a plastic snout instead of metal 😢

This tool used to be blue. It was the P310 but when it became green it is now P310G. This tools been around for awhile.

Excellent review 👍

Think this would be good for resealing transmissions? Seems even the slowest setting is decently quick to go around turns and such

Thx🤘🏻

Lol same thing happened to me. I punctured the seal on my caulk and it still seeped through the back all over the plunger and push rod. Other than that, for $40 it’s a winner to me. I’ve since purchased the Milwaukee m12 and even the rigid, both are higher quality and all, but I find myself still using the Ryobi.

Just so you know, both links in the description go to HD… Thanks for the vid.

Mine is currently not usable because a caulk tube exploded in the rear and caulk got on the track and when it was pulled back to remove the tube the call entered the inside of the green part at the back and it completely stuck not..I cannot get the track to move.

Thank you for the review, have you had any follow issues with it exploding from the back? I need to purchase one but I'm seeing the same reviews. Also, do you recommend Ryobi saws? I am looking to get power tools and would like a brand where I can use the batteries interchangeably. Thanks!

Bought one great tool. But always have a problem with the chaulk coming out from the back of the tube. Is there anyway to avoid this

Just bend the puncture wire inward slightly and it will stay in place.

Small magnet for the seal puncture tool?

I just have to say.. when people see you pull this thing out on a job, they all laugh. As in- "That's something only a homeowner would use on a weekend diy project" BUT! I do a ton of baseboard trim, chair railing, windows and doors, etc etc etc... Once they see it used properly, they all change their filthy attitude and ask to borrow it... 🤣. It's not for everything, and it takes some getting used to, but it will absolutely make your life easier. I love it, and yes I am a professional contractor. Would be cool if they paid me for this... But I 100% honestly love it. Like I said, it's a bit unwieldy and not for everything, but once you get the hang of how to use it, you will cut 2/3 out of the normal time..

I'm sold. I hate the manual ones.

Sadly, I have not had success with this tool First one glued up completely with spill age at the plunger end. Still, I bought a second one…..same problem

I've looked at those in the store, and I'm sure they would be great for high production, out in the open work, but man that thing is bulky-just not going to fit in a lot of places that I normally need a caulk gun for. I think I'd be reaching for my manual gun the vast majority of times. It's one of those Ryobi tools I'm on the fence about.

Hey - but I can't quite believe there's no large-tube size to go on there. 28-32 OZ vs 9-10.5 OZ. For my usual Loctite PL, that's $3.50 vs $7.80 a tube so you can see the savings.

Sure, everything’s fantastic, it doesn’t work for Lock Tight Ultimate construction adhesive although I have the $74.95 caulk gun from Home Depot. It’s slow for Plastic Roofing Cement. Maybe I’ll go buy the Bosch caulk gun.

I have this and am not overly impressed. Two issues: it does tend to explode the back of tubes because the barrel doesn't hold tubes straight! As soon as there's any pressure it rides the back of the tube upwards. Second: it takes too long to wind up after trigger pull, it's not responsive enough, making you have a big blob at the beginning of your bead. It's compounded by the fact that the lowest setting still puts out a lot of material.

Black Friday baby.

I can’t pull the plunger back. What am I missing?

Is the tube holder metal..

How do take empty caulk out

It's not operator error! This thing has ruptured several tubes because of the way it pushes up the back of the tube and puts load on the housing. Bad pusher design.

Unfortunately even the slowest setting is too fast

As usual with mid-range gadgets, the engineers behind them never try the gadgets themselves. The on off button and the speed knob on the side do not coincide with the reversal when you release the shutter button. Completely idiotic not to have the speed in the trigger so you can accelerate to catch up with the gap in the reversal. If you have a low speed set and run short strings, it takes a frustratingly long time.

$40!!! Cheapest in UK is £70! (about $100). Ffs.

I don't like it I can qualk faster than that it's pointless to me I can qualk 2500 sqaure foot house in a day by myself but maybe good for people that don't really like qualking that just have a few things to qualk around the house but it would actually slow me down painting brand new homes I do high definition qualking and move fast anyways
