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.
