Does anyone have the caulk gun? How is it? Can it be used to apply caulk around recessed ceiling lights or does it not work vertically?
I have the Ridgid and Ryobi caulk guns - both are awkward to use. It basically advances a plunger pressing into the caulk when you pull the trigger (there's a dial that you can adjust the force of the pressure with) - when you release the trigger the plunger eases up a big making it a bit awkward when you press the trigger again because it has to take the slack back in to apply pressure. If you have the pressure set too high and the opening to your caulk container is too small it can blow out the wall or rear of the container. I could see this being useful for large-scale thick caulking applications but not so great for finer caulking (I have better control and maneuverability using a traditional caulk gun).
Perhaps with regular practice it gets easier to use but I maybe pull them out once or twice a year. A few use case examples I did were sealing a large crack in the stucco exterior which worked well and sealing the base of the toilet to the tile floor in the bathroom which this was difficult to use.

I think a lot depends on your level of skill with a traditional caulk gun. If it's high, you may not find the pros outweigh the cons. However, for me, I like to use the Ryobi caulk gun. It is especially useful when doing a long run like baseboard, bathtubs or an exterior wall. It enables me to get a consistent line that needs very little tooling which is hard for me with a regular caulk gun likely due to the fact that I have little experience with them.
I've not done this before but interested. So are you 100% sure you can return just the tool?
Yes, it's a common thing discussed here. It's added to the receipt with each piece separate, in this instance it would probably be a 2 pack of batteries and whatever tool, aka 2 pieces. Instead of showing full price for the batteries and free for the "tool" it discounts each, so the batteries would show something like $55 (that's what post above says, idk) and the tool would then be $44. So you could return one or the other for that discounted price, to just keep the other.
I've used this "hack" a couple times to get tools I didn't have for a better price and just returned the batteries.

Had one, used it so much it finally burnt out (great tool). It will work vertically just as well as a manual caulk gun, i.e. it's subject to gravity but it will push caulk out just fine.
Though I'm not sure you'll love it for that purpose, unless you have so many lights to caulk that you're willing to compromise on control.
This thing really shines when you have a mile of caulking to do, and a perfect bead is not your priority. For example in my 7,000 warehouse shop, we caulked every window and wall seam in a day.
When I first bought it I used it to recaulk my shower surround... Bad idea. I learned to have better control but it doesn't compare to an experienced hand with a regular ol' cheapo HDX caulk gun for proper control.
For your purpose, I don't think you'll be happy with it. Again unless you have a hundred lights to do and are willing to master the tool.

It's okay… it works vertically.
Mmm I think mine broke though. Had it for half a year. Although I think that might've been my fault… I may have forgotten to break the foil seal on one tube. I got mine at direct tool outlet though
