Caulk gun upgrade that paid for itself in one bathroom

Dropped $18 on a dripless caulk gun after fighting with a $6 one for years, and it cut my bathroom reseal job from 2 hours to 45 minutes without a single mess, anyone else swear by the pricey ones or am I just bad at caulking?

The $6 gun left smears every time I squeezed. I bought the dripless model last spring after redoing my kitchen backsplash and hating every second of it. Now I only buy the good ones, they hold up way longer and the rod release actually works. Total game changer for corners and tight spots. You aren't bad at caulking, the cheap tools just fight you the whole way.
