Ingco Caulking Gun 1.0mm HCG0909, 230mm with Cutting Function

Our review

This is a manual caulking gun from Ingco, built around a 1.0mm thick barrel that measures 230mm long with a 55mm diameter. The cutting function is the detail worth noting: it lets you trim the nozzle tip on the tube itself rather than hunting for a separate cutter, which matters when you are sealing a window frame, filling a gap along a skirting board, or running a bead of silicone around a basin. It suits occasional users and small contractors who want one tool for sealant, adhesive and filler tubes, and who would rather not pay for a heavier professional frame. Before buying, check that your cartridges match the 55mm diameter and that the 230mm length gives you the reach you need; also confirm the tube style you use is compatible with the rod and plunger. Compared with basic guns, the metal thickness suggests it will hold up better under steady pressure, though it is not a powered or bulk-loading model. If you regularly run large volumes of sealant, a sausage or bulk gun may serve you better. Available on Sokonia.
