CORDLESS CAULKING with the RYOBI PCL901 One+ 18V Caulking Tool Review

[@drright2410]

Bought this caulk gun and through trial and error I cut the tip of the caulk tube a tiny bit smaller than I usually do than when I use a manual gun. What I have found is with a smaller tip the speed control dial gives you better range for flow control. With a big cut tip, no matter what speed, the bead will all be the same size.

[@LazerIsnthere]

Thank you just got it gonna try it out!

[@winkletown8828]

For anyone wondering, yes it can handle the almighty PL 8x 😎 Ryobi did a great job on this one.

[@atxtu7351]

I just get it today for $59.79 without tax, its better than RIDGID one I return, i may have to use standard one for molding, and trim, this Ryobi is floating too much maybe i need more practice, but for $60 is still pretty good to me. Thank for the video.

[@akibarika]

I've just purchased today and it works fine for me :) great review

[@jonnylewis8304]

If you back the trigger off half way before it completely turns off, it will slow down the output because there is still force in the gun. And then feather the trigger as you need more caulk output. This allows for a smaller continuous stream.

[@miriamreyes4855]

Thanks for the review, just purchased it for home use and I think it’s going to do just fine 😊

[@robertsneed3]

That's not a bad caulker. Way to go Ryobi 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@eosjoe565]

Especially for $60

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Not bad at all. Thanks for watching.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

@EOSJOE I think that price might change to $79 when it's actually released. I don't believe that $59 is correct.

[@eosjoe565]

@@Shoptoolreviews Still not a bad deal compared to the other battery caulkers on the market. Perhaps they will have it with one of their free battery deals.

This one is a bit smoother and more responsive. Thanks for watching.

I won about Ryobi tools. For the home user they are great. The service center is only a mile away from my house (Empire Tool Houston, Tx).

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

I have the M12. It's awesome for laying out tube after tube of PL and other adhesives. I also use it for polyurethane sealants for siding & windows. You get a way more consistent bead when you don't have to think about pumping it by hand. Not to mention your hand isn't sore from 100s of feet and multiple tube I still use a manual gun for tubs and baseboard though.

[@lorddyson6487]

I fit plantation shutters and do alot of caulking everyday, is it abit of a gimmick or do u think its worthit?

[@legros731]

Not my experience with pneumatic was building aluminum window and was using it all the time what a hand saver and way faster especially the one using the aluminum foil sausage like tube No drip and you can easily adjust the flow with the trigger and air valve With a correctly sized nozzle and air pressure you can achieve super small beads but way faster than with a manual gun

[@ReefMimic]

I have a ridgid battery cocker. The 2 batteries lasted less than a month . That was years ago. I should’ve made an effort to do a warranty claim

[@keearun]

How does this compare to the older Ryobi caulking gun. Home Depot still sell both models.

[@barackuse]

Awesome video, well done. Thanks for posting!

[@txvet7738]

Milwaukee needs an M12 palm impact driver like that old Rigid 12V palm impact driver! Oh yeah and great video of this new Ryobi 18V caulking gun...lol!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Absolutely agree. I've bugged Milwaukee and DeWalt to make one of these. Thanks for watching.

[@txvet7738]

@@Shoptoolreviews Please keep on bugging them, I will too!

[@deathyt1357]

Where you get tbat ridgid right Angle

[@reaperinfinite8427]

The amount of material is based on your movement speed. For example: speed 6 at a fast past moment will produce the same bead as if you had it set on 1 going at a much slower body motion. Over all I have one and it is spot on. I easily ran perfect beads consistently to my comfort speed.

[@costavong6018]

can you ask Ryobi they sell 20oz accessories for sausage?

[@AndysEastCoastAdventures]

Seems a good tool considering the dewalt version is 3-4 times the price!

[@dh66]

The trigger has two positions built in, pull all the way back to do your bead, and if you want no pull back, release trigger until the motor stops. Release trigger completely and it will pull back

[@PacificDiscovery111]

Bought it and, on my first job it did not work well. I could not get continuous dispensing, the motor would stop within two-three seconds and not push the caulking out, very disappointing. I recall using another one in the past and it worked well. I think, it may be a malfunctioning item, too bad the store is 110km away to return it.

[@patrikdahlin3985]

Great video, thumbs up!!!!

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

Mine kept shutting off while using OSI Max sealant while installing an entry door. The bead was spotty at best on door brickmold. Couldn't use a hand caulk gun with OSI.

[@ncironhorse8367]

Cut the tip smaller to dispense less material

[@kc0lif]

good product helps out big jobs.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Yes, it's great for the big jobs. Thanks for watching.

[@theperfectpaintertoolreview]

Looks to be exactly the same as the old gun, with a new shell. U only get runout with dap caulk when it's first opened. Dap is the worst caulk on the market, coming from a painter with 18 yrs experience and dap is made in Baltimore where I live. Any Sherwin Williams brand caulk is top of the line, I use max flex. No runout at all. Just my 2 cents

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Agree completely. At the same time, it's probably the most popular since it's sold at the big box stores. So, we have to show it. We love the SW line as well, and our Florida Paints stores has a great line as well. Thanks for watching and sharing.

[@theperfectpaintertoolreview]

@@Shoptoolreviews I understand and agree 100%

[@ProblemChild-xk7ix]

You opened the tube too wide to get a small bead.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Yes, you are correct for a really fine line. However, my point here is that it really won't flow that slow. The finer the tip you cut, it just increases the velocity of the material (caulk) coming out. It won't go low/slow enough to provide a really tight line. Thanks for watching.

[@frogmanpipes9561]

​@@Shoptoolreviews it would still have been a better idea. To cut the tip. Narrower. Like real world use. How does it push it out cut narrow

[@2468jjose]

You cut the tip too big. That is why it is pushing lots of caulk.

[@BK-gc1jm]

Does it have a pull back feature?

[@avidanhendler698]

this tool have no noise it is so quiet??

[@RN-SM-SSBN04]

Ryobi need to add the attachments so you can put a sausage tube on. other brands have this option and im hoping ryobi follow suit soon. would be awesome im guess the standard tube will fit and they also provide a longer rack to so we can do 600ml sausages

[@jakegorman7121]

Would have like to seen something like blackjack done

[@andyprairiedog]

Anyone try this item out when they cut a smaller opening?

[@Shoptoolreviews]

it depends on which product that you're trying to dispense. Thanks for watching.

[@hanyoukimura]

A moment of silence for the old P310G, the last (I think) blue Ryobi that was still in production (just with green plastic). It looked pretty out of place with it's soft curves vs the more blocky and angular newer tools.

[@안희창-l5t]

I bought this nail gun as we were planning to renew all the fencing in our back garden. As this involved 19 double slatted fence panels, 10 of which needed to be cut down in size, we knew there would be a need for a great kzbin.infoUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt deal of re-stapling the wooden slats to the wooden framework. Each alteration required the re-stapling of 62 wooden slats with double staples. Prior to starting the work we ordered sufficient additional staples as per the instructions with the gun.The gun performed fantastically throughout the entire project with no jams of misfires. The adjustable power was excellent allowing the staples to be fired into the 8mm slats to the correct depth. For the price paid this was a bargain and it proved itself to be so reliable and versatile making an arduous task much quicker and professional. I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will be used on many other projects in the future.

Roybi doesnt seem to write a lot on how it compares to the old model that still is the only model sold in some countries. They cost the same where I live and both are available. Old one seems to have a metal tube holder where this new one seems like plastic. Could you say something about which one to get?

[@kjbdvn4795]

[@theperfectpaintertoolreview]

I don't recommend these for detail finish work like baseboard or trim, crown molding, etc. This is for anything thick like liquid nails or oil based caulks. I don't even use my battery powered caulk gun cuz it puts out more caulk and takes longer to use. I'm much faster and cleaner with a standard caulk gun

[@Shoptoolreviews]

That's pretty much what we were saying in the video without saying it. There are some that like to run big nasty beads, so they'll use these. I like to have nice and tight trim, and also keep the caulking bead tight and tidy. We agree with you. Thanks for watching and sharing.

[@theperfectpaintertoolreview]

@@Shoptoolreviews yea I agree, I wanted to like and use the Ryobi caulk gun everyday when I bought it but I just can't. Time is money and I'm a perfectionist so it just don't work for me. I'm sure some ppl use them everyday tho

[@MikeyDiff]

Would making a smaller tip in diameter reduce the flow?

[@africanhistory]

cant imagine why you would need a battery power caulking gun, just squeeze it with your hand like toothpaste.

[@jpenn466]

What kinda ridgid still is that

[@fabientresaminifabien8126]

You made your hole a little too big on your tube!

[@supergirl2997]

What a waste of money.

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Why is that?

[@wally7856]

Try Urethane windshield adhesive or urethane concrete caulking with a manual gun. Doesn't matter how strong you are, you won't get more then a 6" bead out before your hands give up, that's what these guns are for, thick products that need 100lbs of force to get it out of the tube. For painters caulk or something thin, the the standard orange hand operated gun can't be beat.
