Good tool, though a bit pricey
I have been doing apartment maintenance for over a decade and have caulked hundreds of tub surrounds, vanity and kitchen counters, etc.. I have tried my finger, other caulking tools, a credit card (expired!), etc., and this is by far the best caulking tool I have found. The reason I gave it only four stars is the cost. Seems a bit pricey.
I have a few suggestions about the product as well as one (the last one) for using silicone caulk in general.
First, do not apply too much caulk when you run the initial bead. How much is too much? See my second suggestion.
Second, practice. Run a consistently sized bead of caulk, use the tool and then scrape away the caulk and toss it. Do it again. Yes, I know, you are "wasting" caulk. If you want a professional looking job, waste some caulk by practicing. You will find the appropriate bead size through practice. Obviously, the correct bead size will be determined by the edge you are using. The larger the edge the larger the bead size. Practice. Also, begin with a small hole in the caulk tube nozzle. Not enough caulk? Cut a slightly larger orifice. Remember, you can make the hole larger, however, you cannot make it smaller.
Third, keep the tool perpendicular to the surfaces. If you have seen the ad on TV, pay attention to how the demonstrator holds the tool.
Finally, fill a spray bottle (like a windex bottle) with isopropyl alcohol and lightly spray the bead and the business side of the tool. It will make the tool glide easily over the caulk. (You can use this trick with any caulking tool including your finger.)
Works very well
I am normally rather leery of products I see advertised on TV, especially tools like this. My wife surprised me with this set as a Christmas gift, and as I did need to do some caulking around some sinks in the bathroom, I decided to put it to the test.
I was rather impressed with the ease that I got the job done using this set. Both sinks took a total of only 20 minutes, including the time to open the package, prep the area, and clean up.
If there is a catch it is only that you have to be aware of the angle you are holding the tool, and to make sure you keep it square to the work surface. This only takes a small amount of practice, and once I got the hang of it, the project was done in only a few minutes.
Clean up of the tool was only a matter of wiping it off with an old rag.
I recommend this tool for anyone needing a simple way to get clean caulking lines.
Good
This product did not perform as well as demonstrated on TV--as is the case with most of these types of items.
Rather than making a continuous caulk line, you had to stop and clean the applicator frequently or else the caulk spilled out over the applicator. I used it on a large caulking project and while it made the job easier than doing it with your finger, it was not as good as I had hoped.
