Tim, I just spend 20 minutes in my garage trying to figure out how the hell to open this damn thing. Cutting the tip I could figure out, but how the hell to break the seal? I almost ripped the whole plastic nozzle off to get at the seal. Glad I took 2 minutes to run inside to my PC. Thanks for the tip, you just saved me tons of heartache and frustration. Keep 'em coming.

@davegreenberg002 Thanks! You're exactly the reason I make the videos!

Very helpful. I would have just sliced the tip straight across, but cutting it at an angle makes a lot more sense! Thank you!! :)

@kuulei06 You're welcome! Glad it helped!

No, no, no that little hole in the caulk gun is for cutting the ends off cigars!

Is liquid nail caulk?

AAAAhhhhahahaha I knew about the needle to break the seal, but never noticed the razor to cut the tip. Brilliant!

Thank you for sharing! You could have kept this knowledge to yourself, watched others struggle, and used this your advantage. You didn't. Very inspirational:) I didn't know about cutting tool. Thanks again.

That's a really excellent caulk gun design. I must try and get one like that the next time I buy one. It would be an improvement on the ones I have.

@brownspider64 I thought he said that too! maybe he sends that to us at a later date, although looking at him I doubt he would do much for me. I checked a lot of the guns sold in the UK, none of them have any of those features or I would have used them. As for liquid nails, no real builder or joiner uses that stuff in preference to a correct and secure fixing.

Thanks, I will have to look at the budget caulk gun I have, I think yours is the deluxe model.

That is simply badass:) Great tip!
