Newborn 101 Half Barrel Manual Caulk Gun Applicator

Product Description

The NEWBORN 101 is a manual half-barrel caulk and adhesive applicator designed for use with standard 1/10-gallon cartridges. Built for tradespeople who need a dependable, no-frills gun for everyday caulking and adhesive work, it delivers consistent bead control with a simple trigger mechanism. The half-barrel frame keeps the cartridge seated securely without a full cradle, making it easy to load and swap cartridges quickly on the job. It is well suited for plumbers, HVAC technicians, carpenters, and general contractors who use tube caulk or adhesive cartridges as part of routine installations and finish work.

The NEWBORN 101 is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where standard 1/10-gallon caulk or adhesive cartridges are used. Typical use cases include sealing around pipe penetrations, ductwork, window and door frames, and other joints that require a controlled bead of sealant or construction adhesive. The half-barrel design is a common choice for pros who prefer a lighter grip frame with open access to the cartridge barrel.
