Newborn 360-DT, 365-DT, and 720AL-DT Overview
The professional caulking gun market just changed. Newborn has officially launched three new dual-thrust caulking guns — the 360-DT, 365-DT, and 720AL-DT — and they're redefining what contractors should expect from their dispensing tools. Whether you're sealing windows, running commercial firestopping, or applying structural adhesives, there's a dual-thrust gun built for your job.
What Is a Dual-Thrust Caulk Gun?
A dual-thrust caulk gun features two selectable thrust ratios in a single frame, giving you the ability to switch between low and high force extrusion without changing tools. Traditional caulk guns are locked into a single thrust ratio — typically 12:1 — which means you're either under-powered on thick materials or applying too much force on thin ones.
With Newborn's Dual-Thrust technology, you get both. A simple button switches between ratios, giving you precision and power on demand.
The 3 New Newborn Dual-Thrust Caulk Guns
1. Newborn 360-DT — The All-in-One Standard 10 oz. Cartridge Gun
Best for: Contractors who want one tool that handles everything.
The Newborn 360-DT is the ultimate everyday caulking gun for standard cartridges. It features a 12:1 and 26:1 dual thrust ratio switch, letting you select the right force for virtually any sealant or adhesive.
What sets the 360-DT apart from every other gun in its class is its fully integrated toolkit — no more digging through your toolbox mid-job. Built right into the frame you get:
-
Integrated scraper
-
Spatula
-
Spout cutter
-
Seal puncture poker
-
Caulk plug
Add in a 360° revolving barrel, drip-free mechanism, thumb release, ladder hook, and comfort trigger, and the 360-DT becomes the last standard cartridge gun you'll ever need to buy.
Key specs: Dual thrust 12:1 / 26:1 | Standard 10 oz. cartridge | 360° revolving barrel | Full integrated toolkit | Drip-free
2. Newborn 365-DT — The 29 oz Industrial Dual-Thrust Powerhouse
Best for: Large-scale projects, commercial contractors, high-viscosity materials.
If you're working with 29 oz quart cartridges, the Newborn 365-DT is the industrial upgrade your toolbox has been waiting for. This gun features a 12:1 and 26:1 dual thrust ratio, giving it enough mechanical advantage to push through the thickest subfloor adhesives, structural caulks, and commercial sealants without breaking a sweat.
Why carry an outdated single-ratio quart gun when the 365-DT offers the power of two professional tools at the same price point? It's designed specifically for high-volume work where stopping to switch guns isn't an option.
Standout features:
Dual thrust 12:1 / 26:1 for maximum versatility across material types
Pro-grade drip-free technology that stops flow instantly on trigger release — critical with large, expensive cartridges
Full integrated contractor toolkit including scraper, spatula, spout cutter, seal puncture poker, and caulk plug
360° revolving barrel for continuous beads around corners and in tight spaces
High-leverage ergonomic comfort grip to reduce hand fatigue during long days
Whether you're doing commercial firestopping, residential subflooring, or industrial sealing, the 365-DT handles any 29 oz material with precision and ease.
Key specs: Dual thrust 12:1 / 26:1 | 29 oz / quart cartridge | 360° revolving barrel | Full integrated toolkit | Drip-free
3. Newborn 720AL-DT — The 20 oz Industrial Dual-Thrust Sausage Gun
Best for: High-volume commercial and industrial applications using sausage packs.
Sausage pack users, this one's for you. The Newborn 720AL-DT is one of the most advanced 20 oz sausage gun on the market, and it's built from the ground up for the demands of industrial job sites.
The 720AL-DT features heavy-duty aluminum construction — a lightweight yet incredibly durable aluminum barrel with premium aluminum end caps — making it the tool you reach for every day without worrying about wear. Combined with dual thrust ratios of 12:1 and 26:1, it handles everything from thin sealants to thick structural urethanes in a single gun.
Standout features:
Dual thrust 12:1 / 26:1 — switch between speed and power instantly
Heavy-duty aluminum barrel and end caps for long-lasting durability on industrial sites
Self-puncture cones included — no separate tools needed to open sausage packs
Advanced drip-free technology for a clean finish and zero wasted material
360° revolving barrel for continuous, precise beads at any angle
Ergonomic comfort grip engineered to reduce fatigue during high-volume application
If you're currently using an outdated single-ratio sausage gun, the 720AL-DT replaces it entirely — with more power, more durability, and more convenience, for the same price.

Why Dual-Thrust? The Case for Upgrading
For years, contractors have had to choose between guns: one for light sealants, another for heavy adhesives. Or they've accepted the limitations of a single-ratio gun and dealt with the consequences — slow application, hand fatigue, or material waste.
Newborn's Dual-Thrust technology eliminates that compromise. Here's what you get in every model:
Versatility across materials. Toggle to 12:1 for rapid, smooth application of standard latex sealants. Switch to 26:1 for the high force needed to extrude thick urethanes, epoxies, or subfloor adhesives. One gun, any material.
Less fatigue, more output. The high ratio does the mechanical work for you on tough materials, reducing the hand force required and letting you work longer without strain.
A cleaner job site. Every Dual-Thrust gun includes Newborn's drip-free technology, which cuts material flow the instant you release the trigger. No drips, no wasted product, no mess on your work surface.
Built-in tools. The 360-DT and 365-DT come with a full integrated toolkit so you can cut, poke, scrape, and plug without hunting for separate tools.
