Same as mine and works very well. I did see they are back on ebay a week or so ago and the price was £79.99 then....funny how quick it goes up when demand goes up. Imagine if fishing bait/tackle was like that!

worth every penny.
its totally seen off using two hands on the gardner gun handles trying to squeeze out 10mm baits in a cold garage and the paste is stiff.

I have had the dewalt gun for 3 years now and no looking back.
220 quid, I think they are a lot more now though.

I thought I'd get another one. Purchased from this same eBay place again last week. The new unit is slightly different battery wise, most definitely better. The main body of the gun is identical. But they now take a completely different battery. My older batteries which I have plenty of now, do not fit this newest unit.
But, the newer batteries they are now using are a ripoff Makita battery. So you can buy generic spare batteries from Amazon. Unlike the older versions. I purchased a generic battery yesterday, it's arriving today. Not sure if the same chargers will fit this battery, or I will have to purchase a charger. I will report back.
They have upgraded the plunger now too, which seems much better. We are using these guns all day everyday, the biggest PITA for me is the plunger coming undone when you take the tube off to clean. I ended up gluing them on. On this newer version of the gun the plunger attachment turns, but does not come off. Much better.
Our original gun which can be seen in these photos has been running daily, for 5 years now. The original battery is still going strong. It gets some serious abuse.
They literally are the best thing since sliced bread.
Pay zero attention to the sellers amounts left. He claims to have three guns left, but when you buy one the listing gets updated to three again. I'm guessing they have plenty of these newer type units. He used to take a much lower offer. He no longer will. Most he will knock off is a couple of quid.

You'll need a charger for the Makita type battery as it's different to the original

Might be worth a look on Ebay as you can buy converter plates, eg to convert a Dewalt to a Makita footprint, so you can use the batteries on different tools/chargers.

Yes I had to purchase a charger for the extra generic Makita battery I got from Amazon. It was only £12.The generic Makita battery that comes with the gun has an extra small circular charging port that accepts the same chargers as the older guns. The generic ones from Amazon & eBay do not have that or accept that charger that comes with the gun.
But on the massive plus side you can easily get spare batteries and a charger for the newer guns on the link in this thread now. You can pick up an 8ah that lasts 4 x as long as the smaller lithium batteries cheap. A battery with the charger is only twenty odd quid on eBay.
They have also geared the guns motor down. Much better now.

How do you rig one of these up for rolling bait been looking into getting one for a while but can't get my head around it.

Nothing to rig up with these ebay ones. You put the paste in it and they take the standard witches hat nozzels
Not sure about the Makita etc mastic guns, they might be different.
