Adhesive Guns
Cordless Adhesive Guns and Dispensers
Adhesive guns push construction adhesive, sealant, and caulk at a steady rate without hand fatigue. Most guns in this collection are cordless: Milwaukee M12 and M18, DeWALT 20V MAX, Makita 18V LXT and 12V max CXT, and Bosch 18V. They take 10 oz cartridges, 20 oz sausage packs, 29 oz tubes, or quart tubes. DeWALT also offers 1:1 epoxy and 10:1 acrylic dispensers, and FastCap and Gorilla Glue add small-batch adhesives.
What to Look For
- Package size. 10 oz guns suit general work. Choose 20 oz sausage, 29 oz, or quart models for high volume jobs.
- Battery platform. Buy on the platform you already own. Tool-only versions like the Milwaukee 2441-20 and DeWALT DCE560B skip the battery.
- Two-part adhesives. The DeWALT DCE591D1 and DCE595D1 dispense two-part epoxy and acrylic anchoring adhesives.
- Conversion. Some guns accept barrel kits to switch between cartridge and sausage formats.

Adhesive Guns FAQ
Is an adhesive gun different from a caulk gun?
Many cordless models do both, which is why Milwaukee and Makita call theirs caulk and adhesive guns. Thick construction adhesive needs more force, so a powered gun with adjustable flow helps. Two-part epoxy needs a dedicated dispenser like the DeWALT DCE591D1.
Should I buy a kit or a bare tool?
If you already own batteries on the same platform, a bare tool costs less. Kits such as the Milwaukee 2441-21 and DeWALT DCE560D1 include a battery and charger for a first tool on that platform.
