KARIGAR SILICON GUN
The "Karigar Silicon Gun" (also known as the Karigar Caulking Gun or Silicone Applicator Gun) is a manual, heavy-duty tool from the Indian brand Karigar Tools, designed specifically for dispensing silicone sealants, adhesives, and caulks from standard 300–310 ml cartridges. It's a popular budget spare in construction, plumbing, and DIY repairs, offering smooth, drip-free application for sealing gaps in bathrooms, kitchens, windows, and tiles. Made from reinforced nylon or aluminum alloy, this ergonomic gun features a 12:1 or 18:1 thrust ratio for effortless extrusion, even with thick silicones. It's ideal for professionals and homeowners in India, where Karigar is widely available for affordable maintenance.
This model emphasizes anti-drip technology (via a pressure release valve) to prevent mess and waste, making it a reliable spare for tiling, waterproofing, and general sealing tasks.
