I've just completed installing a steel roof on our house and am preparing to paint. I have a decent compressor with plenty of hose that I can move around as needed with my tractor/FEL. There are a few areas with a lot of flaking paint to be cleaned up, but I believe I should clean out the old caulk and get a good caulking job and then remove the bad paint before I try to wash the house.
I have some Ryobi 18V cordless tools that have performed OK, and looking at their website they manufacture a 18V cordless caulking gun that will work with my batteries. Home Depot has handled these in the past, and had them on sale a time or two for around $20, but they don't carry them any longer. Millwaukee's version is more than $200.
There are pneumatic's available with several in the 20-30 dollar range and a couple that are several hundred.
Have any of you guys had experience with any of these? I've got a problem with the nerves in my right arm and repetitive motions aggravate it, so I'm looking for something to take the sting out of 2-3 cases of caulking tubes...
