Akfix Dispensing Foam Gun - Spray Foam Applicator for Caulking, Professional Insulation for Window and Door | Foam&Cleaner NOT Included | 1 Pack

It works

Good gun. Works well.

I already have several name brand foam guns but wanted to try this brand because it was more affordable. Having used spray guns, I think it is an ok design. It comes with plastic tips that you can attach. I don't love that. You can use without. I feel like it could have a better design. It came pressurized. I'm on my first can of spray foam with this gun and so far, no issues.

Muy buena cumplio con el objetivo

I bought this with the Akfix Spray Foam which I was intending to use as a wide foam application as shown in the product information. It wasn't clear if I needed to buy this gun in order to get the wide spray attachment. It turns out, it doesn't include a wide spray attachment. I already have a foam gun from another manufacturer.

I have a few of these spray foam guns I bought at the local big box Home D store at $60 per gun. If you know how the gun is designed to work, and know how to use it and take care of it properly, the guns should last a long time. This gun has performed just as well as the $60 guns. In some cases, even better. This gun comes with clear extensions to allow you to get the foam into tight spots with better control. Some reviews about this gun were written by people that are not in the trades... meaning, they do not work construction every day for a living. I do... I know what tools work and which tools are junk. This gun works great. Based on the price, I expected a plastic gun that would last a few weeks.... but I was surprised to find the gun made of a very sturdy metal. Flow control has been good. Some reviews make a big deal of cleaning the gun using some canned chemical.... I have used these guns nearly every day for years and I have NEVER cleaned one of my guns. First... NEVER remove the can until it's empty. Removing the can introduces air into the gun and the foam will expand and set up inside the gun... and then it's trash. Leave the can attached... simply dial the control knob to the closed position and toss the gun back in the tool box. When you use if next time, use a utility knife or wire brush to clean away the foam on the tip of the gun, open the control valve, and get spraying. Works every time. You will NEVER see any experienced user cleaning one of these guns.... This guns performed great and I will continue to use it daily on the job... Once I get some good looking dirt and foam build up on it, I will update this with pics.

If you have ever used spray foam you know there are two super frustrating aspects of using the cans. one, you can't control the size of bead and the straws are super flimsy. two, the "reusable" aspect is basically a coin flip, so you end up barely using most of what you paid for. with this gun you solve both problems. the long metal tip allows you to get into tight spaces and the valve lets you control you bead size. Also, you can seal it up when you are done and open it back up when you need. I just wouldn't reccommend leaving it for more than a month although I have done it up to 3 months and it has been fine. also, at the price point of half the price of the big box store name brand, it will save you tons of money in all the $10 cans you use two squirts out of.

This product arrived quickly and in minimal waste packaging. I usually buy my foam guns for about $40 per gun so this is a little cheaper but by no means does it feel or work cheaper. The guns i normally use come with a Teflon basket and this one, i was surprised to see that the basket on this gun was not plastic. the gun worked with eas and with no dripping or leakage. I use Pur Black foam in my guns and it worked perfectly fine in this one as well. The cleaning was just as easy as my normal guns, After finishing a can i hooked up the cleaner can and cleaning out the gun was just as easy. unless you want to frequently buy new guns you need to make sure you are cleaning the gun with something like Pur fill gun cleaner. If you take care of your gun and do proper cleanings your gun will last a very long time.
