caulk gun

Sealant dispensing tool

A caulk gun is a handheld tool that dispenses caulk or similar sealants from a tube.

The gun's trigger mechanism pushes a plunger against the tube, forcing material out in a controlled bead.

Used for sealing gaps around windows, bathtubs, and other joints: I need the caulk gun to seal around the new sink.
