This caulking gun will stand up to constant use. It has no ratchet to strip out and the extra-long trigger handle gives you a 10 to 1 thrust.

This scraper is great for reaching difficult-to-reach areas like the smoke shelf and it's very strong for scraping tough stuff. European sweeps hang this over their shoulder. It's practically a badge of the profession there.
