The BeadBuddy is a simple device that fits on the end of your silicone or caulk tube, enabling you to achieve angles up to 45 degrees without having to compromise your stance or balance. We've tried the BeadBuddy with decorators caulk and silicone and found it to be a great little tool, especially where you would need to reach behind baths, the sides of architrave and those awkward spaces where normally you'd not be able to get your gun into position.

Because the device is only around 75mm in length, it is relatively easy to clean out once the sealant has cured; you simply drag it out and clean through.

So how does the BeadBuddy work? Well there's not much to it. If you look at the photos you'll see a little black tube with a yellow knuckle joint, this fixes between the tube and the nozzle with a screw thread.

The yellow knuckle allows you to move the nozzle into different angles quickly and easily and the joint is stiff enough to keep the angle, so there's little risk of the nozzle shifting while application of sealant is being performed.

A very useful tool for any tiler. More information can be found on the Bromley Adhesives website
