caulking gun
Tube-squeezing tool
A caulking gun is a handheld tool that dispenses caulk or sealant from a tube.
The trigger mechanism pushes a plunger forward, forcing material out in a controlled bead.
Used for sealing gaps around windows, bathtubs, and joints: I need the caulking gun to fix that draft around the door frame.
