I just bought that tool (no caulk, just the tool) at Lowes; it was $10. Good thing I didn’t open it, it’s going back tomorrow! Thank you Woot!
I worked in construction, particularly in house maintenance, for quite a few years through highschool and college.
I always found a good caulking gun and just a wet finger perfectly sufficient. Perhaps these can help for hard to reach places but it seems superfluous.
Plus, any caulk that leaves your caulking tool is just wasted caulk. Trust me-- you don’t want to try and reuse that.
Im certainly no expert though.
(edit: and if your caulking line sucks, try pushing the gun forward, not dragging it. And hold it at an angle to press the caulk in)
My wife says I have enough caulk as it is, and wont let me purchase this

I am not sure that I have an actual need to purchase this, but I am inspired by the write up. You can never have too much caulk, right???
DAG!! I bought this at Home Depot for I believe 9.99 for just one. It’s pretty straightforward and helps keep everything pretty clean. Make sure you use painters tape to get straight clean lines.
*** Make sure you take that tape off almost immediately after smoothing out the bead ***
This is a deal, buy one for yourself, and then give your friends one and some caulk and make their day. 
At Amazon, this is $9.61 just for 1 Kit. At Home Depot, it’s $9.97 just for one 4-piece Tool Kit – no caulk included. This is one of those items you throw into your tool box that becomes invaluable when you need it – yes, you can do a similar job with cut-up pieces of old credit cards, but these tools are well-designed and do the job better than something you put together in the last minute.
When I was remodeling my home, these would have been a great asset. But I could not find them locally – and the high shipping costs were ridiculous. This is a bargain. Buy several and give them away as one of those “because I was thinking of you”-kind of surprises that any homeowner will come to appreciate.
I’m pretty sure this is up just to allow for the write-up. Also,

The write up was very good. Right up until you ripped off Spinal Tap.
I have purchased multiple items similar to these kits and found these to probably be the worst. Mainly, the pieces are made of a harder plastic, so they dont “hug” the scraping area as nicely as I’d like, always leaving a little trace of caulk.
I purchased this one from the Depot and found it to be pretty awesome:

I just wanted to post a note for those who may be concerned about the size of the caulk being offered as part of today’s Woot. Even though this may be a relatively small caulk, that should not be cause for concern. Don’t worry - some people have caulk as small as 2.8 oz.
In fact, the tools included will more than make up for having diminutive caulk. Those with larger caulk will be envious as you demonstrate what you can do with your hands!
Besides, everyone knows it’s not the size of the caulk, it’s all in the application.
Finally, don’t worry if your fingers just aren’t up to the job. Many people find that they need mechanical assistance for their caulk. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.
And if you really need the biggest caulk out there, try http://www.amazon.com/Dewitt-Products-Cement-Cements-Adhesives/dp/B003B6DE7G
FYI, these appear to be acrylic caulks and not silicone. That means do not use them in the shower or you’ll be replacing it every year. Only use 100% silicone anywhere that’s going to see water.
Seriously?
the tools are $10 at Home Depot, I’d guess 2 tubes of this caulk would probably run close to $10 as well. I’m too lazy to get out to the store so I’m in for one so I can finish some caulking off around the house.
As they say on MXC, you put the caulk in the crack, and that’s home improvement.
Before we got married, my (now) wife and I lived in an old fixer-upper house. She used to love caulk. Now that we got married and moved into a new house, she has no interest in caulk.
When I told her about this woot!, she said she saw plenty of caulk at the old house. Not interested in it anymore. 
This caulk is acrylic, not silicone… it doesn’t last! Be careful.
I don’t appreciate the write up this time.

I smell caulk.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I can use this caulk. I need a big tube of black caulk for my black tub.
Any idea where I can find a huge tube of black caulk?
…black caulk anyone?
