Shee-it.  I've been collecting tools for 40+ years, and I have a lot of tools from my dad's collection.  To make room for the hydraulic crimper that I bought for this project, I sent a bunch of tools to Goodwill.  Every time I buy a tile saw, I say "I am never, ever, laying tile again, and this time I mean it." 

How many caulk guns do you have? Lol

Ha tile saws. I said the same thing and now I have 3 tile saws.

Speaking of caulk guns, I bought a battery powered caulk gun and i highly recommend them. Perfect constant bead and can caulk so much faster. Its one of those things you didn’t know you needed until you use one. 

Interesting, I always thought they were a gimmick.  Which brand do you have?  Is it heavy/awkward due to the battery pack?

I've never seen an adapter for batteries, never even thought about it. I use rigid as well but that's good to know in case I should end up with a Ryobi battery powered something.

Yup, I have that same one.  Great for reducing hand fatigue on big projects.  I should get rid of it because I'm never doing big projects again, and this time I mean it!
