B&Q Cartridge Gun

Just bought one of these:

As you will see on the photo - there is a metal "needle" attached to the side of the gun.

I asked the B&Q man what it was for - he had no idea.

Does anyone here know?

Poking a hole in the business end of the cartridge of whatever gunk you're using ... I've never had a gun with the spike, seems more common in america, maybe their cartridges come with a foil seal rather than a hard plastic end that needs cutting off like ours tend to?

I suppose actual GripFill does only need a spike, rather than cutting the end off

does the B&Q gun also have the hole for cutting the tip off with?

I'm glad *you* said that, rather than me (though it did cross my mind as I wrote it).

Many thanks - the B&Q one does not have the cutting hole - but a good example of the spike being used.

Cheers

Gripfil needs a spike to open the fixed cartridge. Which is why I never use Gripfil.

For cleaning blocked nozzles ? One of the reviewers seems to suggest that is what it is for . " Also has a very handy attachment to clear blocked silicone tubes".
