Pros & Cons
Pros
It costs twice as much as a generic budget caulk gun, but will last 20 times as long. I use it for anything from fine latex caulking to dispensing concreteepoxy. This makes caulking almost (not quite) fun!
Caulk tube insertion and removal is also a breeze. The tube rotates which is more useful then it sounds as sometimes you are sealing some tight spots and it is easier to just rotate tube to get a little extra clearance.

Highlights
Quality
This thing screams quality as do many japanese products these days
A professional quality tool that does all it is supposed to including stopping the flow when the trigger is released
Price
Easily spreads thick adhesive and price was reasonable
Though the cost may seem a little high for a caulk gun its definitely worth it
Packaging/appearance
The longer length is very nice and finally dont have to struggle smashing tubes into the gun like with most caulk guns
Lacks ability to cut off the caulk spout
I also dont like the fact that the part that the caulk goes into turns
Competitiveness
Its just such a joy to use over the basic model
This one or the same brand but higher models

Im no caulk gun connoisseur but this thing runs circles around the medium duty caulk gun from the big box store i was using and wasnt really doing a great job of pushing anymore

It surprised me but a life spent using cheap five dollar caulk guns made me think they were all shoddy and liable to bend easy

It is on the heavier side but it will take dropping and some degree of abuse before failing
