I finally gave up on the $30 caulk gun from the big box store

A guy at a Habitat ReStore in St. Paul told me to try a $12 dripless model after I complained about wasting $30 on an expensive one that kept dripping. He showed me how the rod on his gun worked smoother and didn't leave a stringy mess on the tube. Now I save a lot of time and frustration on bathroom trim projects. Has anyone else found a cheap tool that works better than the pricey version?

Honestly my buddy bought a super expensive torque wrench online and hated it. Then he found a cheap old Craftsman one at a garage sale for ten bucks that works perfectly every time. He still brings it up whenever we talk tools.

Is there just something about old Craftsman tools that hit different? They don't make em like they used to lol.
