The product does what it promises, it is well constructed with hard durable plastics and seems to be worth its money. In a review by a user, it was mentioned that it cannot be used because of a plastic round at the edge of the rod, which was cut by the user to the "right size". This is incorrect. The round plastic is NOT used for traditional cartridges with a hard casing and must be completely removed. This accessory is only needed for the so-called "sausages" wrapped in soft packaging. If you watch a video on YouTube titled "Richelieu Hardware - Caulking Gun with 600 ml Avon Tube", you will understand exactly when and how to use the round plastic, how to remove it, and how to screw on the plain metal wheel with the two screws. Therefore, the product has no manufacturing defect.

Look at the video from this company, this gun is exactly how it is in front.
Look at the front of the barrel, it has a metal stem (photo 1) that pushes the base of the silicone cartridge. In front of the metal, I had a plastic piece that had the screw embedded, so I couldn't unscrew it. This plastic piece had a diameter almost the same as the diameter of the aluminum tube, so when the cartridge was inserted, the stem had the same diameter as the entire cartridge, so HOW could it push the base? Because I had never had such a gun before (I had an old cast one), I put them side by side and that's how I realized the mistake. I cut the plastic (photo 2) to the diameter it should be, that is, the same as the old one (photo 3), and now it can be inserted to push the base of the cartridge (photo 4) and start dispensing the silicone (photo 5).
If I found a way to remove this plastic, the axis would remain exposed, so every time I pulled the trigger, the pressure would be in the center of the base of the silicone like a skewer, and not uniform, so the job wouldn't be done correctly.
With a diameter almost the same as the aluminum tube, even a click larger than the cartridge itself, then HOW would it push the base?
Until I found the trick, I thought about throwing it away twice (I couldn't return it because it was scratched), but in the end, I found a solution.

  Very good quality construction. Advantage that it is a closed tube from all sides and the pressure on the silicone is applied uniformly. Disadvantage that the pressure rod is smooth (without ridges) and slips during pressure. However, it can be corrected by rubbing it a little with sandpaper.

  Sturdy construction. The metal tube around definitely increases the durability of the gun. I have had it for over 3 years and it is indeed robust. For amateur use that I use it very good and economical.
