Foam Gun, Preciva Professional Foaming Guns, Needn't Cleaner PU Foams Expanding Applicator Tools, Heavy Duty Dispensing Insulation Foam-Sprayer for Caulking, Insulation

I've always hated using expanding foam, due mostly to only ever using the disposable single use tins. I found the procedure to be hard work, given the lack of control and wasteful since it's pretty impossible to clean the disposable tins out in order to use them again in the future. I bought this gun to fill a few holes around drain pipes at home and so far, I'm very impressed. The applicator gun arrived quickly and well packaged in a Preciva branded box. Inside the box, there was the gun, an instruction book and four plastic nozzles with a tiny hole at the end. On first impressions, I wasn't sure about the nozzles given the size of the hole. The gun seems very well made. It is made of a combination of plastic and metal parts. It feels very sturdy and rigid, with all of the interfacing parts feeling very secure. The handle is plastic with a silicone over mould. The plastic of the handle is rigid and doesn't seem to flex. It is hollow - the bottom end is open, but that doesn't compromise the rigidity of the tool. If anything, it makes it pleasantly light and well-balanced. The socket for the foam can is also very sturdy and I found it hard to over tighten the can here. With hand pressure, the tin was well seated. On to using the gun (after shaking the foam can well), there is a knurled screw at the back of the gun which allows you to limit the action of the trigger. It goes from fully closed, where the trigger is locked closed right through to a full range on the trigger. Fully open may be useful if you are filling a chasm, but for normal jobs, I found I only needed to open the screw a small amount to get good control. I started of without the plastic nozzles and, although it worked well, I quickly gave the nozzles a try, to get right in between the drain pip and brick. Although I was concerned about the small hole, It all worked very well - the plastic nozzle stayed attached and it further improved control of application. So, all holes filled, I moved on to cleaning the gun. Again, this was something I was unsure about before. Removing the can of foam did result in some overflow at the connection point. Nothing too great and it was easy to manage. The foam cleaner I bought had a spray nozzle, which I used to clear the foam from the attachment point first. The foam just melts away with the foam cleaner, so that was quickly clean. After that, the foam cleaner can fits to the same attachment point as the foam can used and you just spray out the excess foam and a bit of the cleaner until the last remnants of foam have gone. You can see in my photo that the foam that initially came out of the gun when I was cleaning it was quickly dispersed by the cleaner and all parts of the gun (including the plastic nozzle) were thoroughly cleaned. All in all, this was a very pleasing experience. I've bought a couple of tools from the Preciva brand in the past and this tool did not disappoint. It is well manufactured and there aren't any annoying niggles (like bad moulding or loose parts). I like that there is an instruction book to guide through the first steps. It clearly is a manual translated from Chinese, but the outcome is understandable and clear enough to follow. You probably won't read it beyond first use anyway - if at all! For the money, this tool is excellent value. While the handles may be metal on the more expensive models, I found that to be the only significant difference here and I actually found it more comfortable using a plastic/silicone handle outside on a cold winters morning anyway! I would definitely recommend this and wouldn't bother with the disposable cans. On second use, you'll have made up the cost of the gun, four uses will cover the cost of the large foam cans and cleaner as well. The fact the big can will now outlast those four uses makes this a bit of a no-brainer! I also don't think I'd go to the extreme of buying an expensive version of this gun. At the end of the day it is an applicator gun and I think Preciva have priced this at the right level for what it is.

The gun itself was excellent, finally giving me the precise control over spray foam that I’d always wanted. Application was smooth and accurate. That said, a word of warning: make sure you order the cleaner that screws directly onto the gun. When I purchased mine, the suggested cleaner during check out was a manual spray type, which I tried with very limited success. It quickly became clear that only the screw-on cleaner is effective. I’d also read that leaving a foam can attached to the gun should maintain a pressurised seal for a few weeks. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case with mine. After just a few days, the gun was completely clogged with hardened foam. I attempted to dismantle the gun for cleaning, but in the process a ball bearing spring was damaged, leaving the gun unusable. In the end, I had to discard it and order a replacement. Verdict: Great tool when paired with the right cleaner, and don’t rely on the “leave the can attached” advice as it can cost you the gun.

Good product. I used it to fill in some small holes in ceiling of a flat roof. Only negative is the tubes could have been longer. But good product overall and a must for every DIYer

Bought these as I had a lot of foam sealing work to do. No problems at all, great seal on the gun cans and easy to clean. (Make sure you buy the appropriate cans with the screw on adaptor for a gun and a tin of cleaner, note the solvent cleaner only works while the foam is wet, once cured it won’t work). The flow rate adjuster works great and gives you a lot of control that you won’t get using a regular tin and straw. Cans screw on easily and come off with minimal mess, you will have some foam on removal so have a can of cleaner at the ready. Highly recommend, sturdy metal construction and will save you time and money as the tins can be reused unlike the non gin equivalents.

Ok info flash if you are ever going to use spray foam straight from Can don’t. buy one of these guns they make your life while using this stuff turn from a living hell to a cake walk. Why oh god did I not buy one sooner. Ok this gun it’s self is mainly metal, the hand plastic grip. Over all it feels good quality we will see how it hold up over time. But for £15 it made a job that would have taken 45 mins with can of spray foam in to a 10 minute hassle free job

First time buying a foam gun and I won't go back to crapy single use cans, I have no experience with other guns so as my first its a good one so far, build quality is good nice choice of nozzles and using a screw in cleaner I've now used it several times and still going good value for the money to me.

Works well

Used once, didn’t even get through half a can of foam until it stopped working. When I tried to remove the can the foam gun exploded everywhere. I highly recommend to not purchase this foam gun

Top qualité,bce nettoie parfaitement bien 👍

Works great. Very easy to use. Make sure you purchased the cleaner to clean this out after use.

Absolument merveilleux. Le fait de pouvoir régler la pression change totalement la donne. Fini de gâcher la moitié de la bombe pour rien. Les petits embouts permettent même une grande précision, donc reboucher de petites fissures devient possible. Deux choses à noter cependant. 1 - si c'est la première fois que vous utilisez un pistolet, prenez soin à prendre des bombes compatibles. Si vous voyez une canule attachée à la bombe, c'est souvent qu'elle n'est pas faite pour être utilisée avec un pistolet. 2 - si vous n'en avez pas déjà chez vous, prévoyez d'acheter de l'acétone pour le nettoyage du pistolet. Ou de l'alcool à brûler à 90°. Et nettoyez bien le pistolet après utilisation, pendant que la mousse est fraîche. Et si vous êtes riche, ben prenez une bombe de nettoyant spécial pistolet.

Impeccable, le réglage peut se faire donc c’est pratique Je l’ai nettoyée avec de l’acétone dans une seringue que j’ai injecté dans le trou Nettoyage, parfait, et pourtant je n’avais pas acheté la bombe de nettoyage adaptée, j’avais oublié! Impeccable

Ottima pistola, ormai la uso da mesi ed è perfetta. E molto facile regolare la quantità di schiuma sia con la valvola a manuale ma anche il trigger e precisissimo. Una volta pulita con lo spray apposito e pronta per il riutilizzo.
