The sausage caulking tool is an essential home improvement tool to have. It’s great for sealing up unexpected cracks and fissures. Whether for professional use or for an at-home project, it will, without a doubt, come in handy.

Certain sausage caulking tools have different capabilities than others, so here’s what we recommend for you.

What You Should Look For in a Sausage Caulking Tool

The thrust ratio is important to consider. If you’re looking to dispense thicker material, the tool should have a higher ratio. It should also be able to dispense your caulk precisely, without creating a big mess. Sausage packs can come in varying sizes, so a tool that can handle different sized sausage packs is a versatile one.
