are they any good? would you use them to seal up window frames etc? what about using them to inject damp proofing cream?

most importantly do you just look like a tit using one? Laughing

ive seen this on ebay:

Never seen one of those before, but it looks cool Thumbright

I'd not get one as I only do a little siliconing, but for people doing lots it will be ideal.

If the silicone cream is in the correct type of tube then that should inject it no problem.

At that price it is a steal, if you already have 18 volt batteries you can sell the battery and charger on ebay and the silicone gun would be almost free!

i was thinking that id only maybe use the gun occasionally. I do fit a canny few pvc windows mind you.

however my 18 volt b&q trim saw is a little tired. (batterys dont last long) And i can buy a naked dewalt trim saw for £80 from the same guy. maybe itll be worth a blast.

They certainly can take the ache away if your using very thick specialist sealants or adhesives in small beads.
But for normal silicones I wouldn't bother.
