Product Description
Product Description
The Newborn 188 Super Ratchet Rod Cradle caulking gun has a steel half-barrel frame that fits 1/10-gal. cartridges and has a 6:1 thrust ratio for use with medium viscosity materials such as silicone. The ratchet-style pressure rod has teeth that hold the rod in place after each pull of the trigger. For thinner materials, this helps minimize drips. There is a welded plate in the back for securing the cartridge in place. The hook on the back allows it to hang on a ladder, and a seal puncture tool and a spout cutter are built into the side of the gun for opening cartridges without a knife.
Caulking guns, also called caulk or cartridge guns, dispense a controlled flow of products such as caulk, sealants, and adhesives from a tube or cartridge. A manual caulking gun consists of a frame which holds the tube, a trigger, and a rod which moves forward when the trigger is depressed, dispensing the product. Manual caulking guns have a thrust ratio; the higher the thrust ratio, the easier it is to dispense the caulk, sealant, or adhesive. Air-powered or pneumatic caulking guns also have a frame and a trigger, but are used with an air pressure regulator that pushes the product from the tube using air pressure instead of a rod.
Newborn Brothers Company, Inc. manufactures sealant and adhesive dispensers and accessories. The company was founded in 1974 and is headquartered in Jessup, MD.

The sheet metal is thicker on this one and won't bend at the nose, allowing the tube to pop out like the cheap ones. The handles are comfortable enough to use without padding or gloves. Best of all, the ratchet works smoothly and does not slip. I looked for a similar product in several hardware and home improvement stores, but the ratchet style was hard to find and the better ones were much too expensive. This one is a deal!
It is solid metal, extremely well put together, and worked beautifully.
It does do what it needs to do, so if you rarely use this tool it should be fine. I wouldn't recommend it though. Choose a gun with this same shape, but also with a button on the back.
