About 1/2 way through a tube of SIKA the gun got hard to pump, so I backed out the plunger and slid it back in. It then pumped easy, problem solved… so I thought.

Picked up a couple of Dewalt flip bin Tstaks.

I’ve been eyeing those since they first came out last year waiting for a sale price on them. Are they vertically wall mountable?
