Battery guns can be called one of the most convenient to use. They do not need the use of physical force, in addition, they do not need a complicated setting. Before you start using the gun, the user can independently set the required indicator of the power supply of the sealant, as well as using the nozzles included in the kit, select the desired diameter of the application.

As for the battery products, they, despite a number of advantages, are not so often in demand, but this can be justified by their inflated price.

The first thing you need to pay attention to, apart from the design of the gun, is the type of material feed, but the manufacturer can play an equally important role. Modern technologies are rapidly developing, every year on sale you can see newer models and firms. Some look quite tempting and promise product quality much higher than that of competitors. But if we talk about high-quality repairs, it is better to give preference to proven firms that will not fail. The modern construction market presents to the consumer a large number of firms, distinguished by their quality, materials and features.

Among all manufacturers, the following can be considered the best:

• Igun;
• Skil;
• Makita;
• Bosch.

The products of these manufacturers have proven themselves and are in demand among both professional builders and beginners.

You will learn more about the Metabo battery pistol by watching the following video.

A cordless pistol is a professional-level tool that makes it possible to ease the work and, moreover, to hold it in a very short period.

There are two subtypes among this type of pistols.

• The first works only with the mixture in solid bottles.
• The second option allows you to work with a "loose" type sealant. It costs much more than the previous version, but the price may vary based on what adjustments it has and how easy the mechanism is to use.

Of course, such a product does not belong to the budget, for example, the pneumatic version will cost the buyer several times cheaper.

Against other designs, the accumulator gun possesses such positive qualities:

• ease - its weight ranges from 1.3 to 2.5 kg; the lower the weight, the more expensive the cost;
• operability of the gun can reach 1.5 hours, which makes it possible to create continuous seams;
• it is possible to use special cartridges, their switching occurs very quickly;
• in the process of work there are no stains, which is not the case with ordinary pistols.

A battery pistol can be an ideal option, especially for those who are engaged in construction on a professional level, because everything is present in it - light work, different nozzles. In addition, for more serious work, you can purchase a 600 ml closed type model. If we consider the disadvantages, we should note the very high cost of this tool. If the work will be carried out only once, it makes no sense to purchase this option, it is preferable to use a simpler device.

Despite the fact that the structure of the gun is very simple, the process of using sealants and other mixtures is very delicate. He makes demands even on the smallest details.

Manufacturers advise to carry out the work, following a few simple steps.

• At first it is worthwhile to install a rod for feeding material or to cut off a container acquired in a store to the required thickness. In this work, you can use the nozzle that is suitable for a particular job. They are 7 and 11 mm in diameter, but other parameters can support professional-grade models.
• It should be placed in the landing compartment tube.After that, the working tool needs to be warmed so that the mixture inside becomes more pliable to work.
• Now you can start work. For a start it is worth practicing in drawing on unnecessary details in order to assess the force with which the substance goes. If the indicator is not satisfied, then it can be changed on the battery pistol, while the subsequent supply will have a smooth character and will begin to cover the entire working area.
• After the work is finished, it will be necessary to remove all the excess texture from the working surfaces, since after solidification this will be difficult to do. The gun itself must be freed from the tube and cleaned with a solvent.
