Ryobi 18V One+ Cordless Caulk and Adhesive Gun Review

The P310G 18-Volt ONE+ Power Caulk and Adhesive Gun will save your forearms during any caulking project, it's definitely worth the price tag!

Another use for this is applying windshield urethane. This stuff is like pushing thick mud through a pencil hole. Good luck doing that with a manual gun. Tried it once. Took two men 45+ minutes to lay down 20' of urethane going 6" at a time because our hands were so sore. Borrowee this gun from a friend, took 5 minutes to do the same job. Well work it. Prices are all over the place on these. All the way from $50(Home Depot) to $120 online. Do some shopping around. Sometimes Home Depot offers a free tool if you buy two batteries. So, you can get two 6 amp batteries plus this tool for around $100. Well worth it if you need extra batteries for other tools.

Excellent review, no others had mentioned the lack of drip

Let me give you a tip! Cut the tip straight without 45 degrees or any angle and you will get perfect caulk and you can change direction without stopping or making mess.

LOL..I was watching this video to remind myself how to use it. I couldn't pull the plunger back out once I put the caulk tube in. Sure enough it exploded, just like the guy said it did to him!! Ugh. but thankfully I had some mineral spirits and it cleaned it up pretty good. First time I ever knew these tubes could explode since I have only used it once. Thanks for the heads up

Definitely want to pick one up now, I do trim work daily, but of course keep a standard gun nearby for closets and ladder work. Awesome review!

Great video on this guy! I have one NIB for future use, but never have I seen this in use. Great tips throughout!

This was a great video. Thanks for showcasing this. It will help me speed up my job.

Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day

Thanks, great job! On my "Soap Box" moment first: Very well done video review. Dialog preparation before recording is evident here. (I'm guessing that you had a few retakes to keep the continuity flowing) Lighting and audio very good. And thank you for NOT HAND HOLDING THE RECORDING DEVICE AND WAVING ALL OVER THE PLACE! Far too many You Tube DIYers put content on the site that have no clue how to produce a video. If a video DIY begins with the "waving the camera device all over", I just stop it and move on. OK, now to the review. You made great points on the pros/cons. I have a tool chest full of Ryobi 18v cordless tools. I consider them to be home owner DIY functional but at the lower end quality of the top cordless tool brands available, thus less expensive. I am looking very closely at upgrading to all Milwaukie or DeWalt. But, you point out in the video very succinctly, that this Ryobi tool is affordably priced. I found it at home Depot for $49.00. I have a project on right now that needs to get finished quickly, so it is off to Home Depot to get this tool and wait on dropping $400 to $500 on upgrades for awhile!

I just have to say.. when people see you pull this thing out on a job, they all laugh. As in-
"That's something only a homeowner would use on a weekend diy project"

BUT! I do a ton of baseboard trim, chair railing, windows and doors, etc etc etc...

Once they see it used properly, they all change their filthy attitude and ask to borrow it... 🤣.
It's not for everything, and it takes some getting used to, but it will absolutely make your life easier. I love it, and yes I am a professional contractor. Would be cool if they paid me for this... But I 100% honestly love it.

Like I said, it's a bit unwieldy and not for everything, but once you get the hang of how to use it, you will cut 2/3 out of the normal time..

[pythonprofreak]

Definitely is going to get one. Hate the wasted and leftover caulk

[treebossmike]

Lol same thing happened to me. I punctured the seal on my caulk and it still seeped through the back all over the plunger and push rod. Other than that, for $40 it’s a winner to me. I’ve since purchased the Milwaukee m12 and even the rigid, both are higher quality and all, but I find myself still using the Ryobi.

This tool used to be blue. It was the P310 but when it became green it is now P310G. This tools been around for awhile.

[DavidLee-cwci]

I have this and am not overly impressed. Two issues: it does tend to explode the back of tubes because the barrel doesn't hold tubes straight! As soon as there's any pressure it rides the back of the tube upwards. Second: it takes too long to wind up after trigger pull, it's not responsive enough, making you have a big blob at the beginning of your bead. It's compounded by the fact that the lowest setting still puts out a lot of material.

[mikejacksonmusic]

Thanks for the review. Definitely gonna perfect for my job.

[maximedefooz]

Damn, It's so cheap ! 90€ back here in Europe (France)

Nice review, thanks !

[Burn]

I've had this guy for a while now, went to use it this morning and as soon as i put a battery in the motor starts running 🤷‍♂️ it doesn't feed the rail though until i squeeze thr trigger. I was going to return it until I saw the revised model has a plastic snout instead of metal 😢

[twagner]

Sure, everything’s fantastic, it doesn’t work for Lock Tight Ultimate construction adhesive although I have the $74.95 caulk gun from Home Depot. It’s slow for Plastic Roofing Cement. Maybe I’ll go buy the Bosch caulk gun.

[QueenAnnesLace]

Thank you for the review, have you had any follow issues with it exploding from the back? I need to purchase one but I'm seeing the same reviews. Also, do you recommend Ryobi saws? I am looking to get power tools and would like a brand where I can use the batteries interchangeably. Thanks!

[TheMerquis]

i had one and the gears stripped out on it, its the only ryobi tool i have ever regretted/hated
