Overview
Albion makes this B12 as a manual smooth rod caulking gun for the listed cartridge size. A carriage cradles the cartridge while the thrust ratio drives the rod.
The carriage holds cartridges securely for precise and consistent dispensing, and the manual drive needs no power source. It is sized for one cartridge volume, which is the main limit for anyone working with larger sausage packs.
Who it's for
Tradespeople and maintenance crews who work with cartridges and want a simple manual tool. Those who dispense from larger sausage packs need a different gun.
Pros and cons
- Metal half barrel carriage
- 12:1 thrust ratio
- Takes 10 oz and 300 ml cartridges
- Light enough for all day use
- Cartridges only, no sausage packs
- Warranty not listed
- Manual effort on thick material
Performance notes
The thrust ratio turns hand pressure into a stronger push on the rod, and the smooth rod movement helps the bead stay even. Support along the cartridge length stops it shifting as the rod advances.
