There is no such thing as an unnecessary power tool

Recommended Posts

I came to that conclusion 15 minutes ago after using an electric caulking gun. Yep. Electric.

I had a guy install a new garage door a few weeks ago - almond color, steel, very nice. New opener - Genie Excelerator - opens the door in 5 seconds. The installer suggested I get a little almond-colored caulk for the weather-stripping. I realized I already had several inches of almond-colored cock, but once again, not being a smart-ass saved me a punch in the mouth.

Anyway, he said Ryobi has an electric caulking gun. I laughed at his lack of manliness. Well, I didn't really laugh out loud - like I said, trying to avoid that punch-in-the-mouth thing. He said it sounds crazy, but it leaves no bead in the line, and keeps your hand from cramping after all that pumping. Um, yeah - I think this guy has a dirtier mind than I do.

So normally, I avoid Home Depot-sponsored, chinese-made, plastic copies of real tools, but Makita doesn't have one, and heck, it was only like $80 for the tool, charger and battery, so I figured what the hey. Wow, is that thing nice. But it really blows through caulk like - well, insert your favorite fellatio metaphor here. I used an entire tube and only got half the job done, so I guess it's back to Home Depot for more of the stuff.

For those of you that are inevitably add something about battery-powered marital aids, I just want you to know that I already looked, and there are no such devices conforming to the Ryobi One Plus form factor. However, they claim they are expanding the line, so you may be able to convince them that 18V gives a lot of possibilities.

"Ooh...Ooh...Ooh! Argh...Argh...Argh!" Sorry, but there are no power tools that can compare to Binford!:P

And if one is good Four is much better. I have four drills, four circular saws. I have 2 jig saws, 2 routers, 2 scroll saws, 2 chain saws. They all have different features that I like, and I have them set up for different jobs, to make things go faster and easier.
More power, more power, ARGHHHHH!!!
