Ratchet Rod:
- A ratchet rod is not a widely recognized term for a specific tool. However, a ratchet is a mechanical device that allows continuous linear or rotary motion in one direction while preventing motion in the opposite direction. If you are referring to a tool with a ratcheting mechanism used for a specific purpose, additional context would be needed.
Caulk Gun:
- A caulk gun is a handheld tool used in construction and home improvement for applying caulking or sealant. It typically consists of a frame, a trigger, and a rod. The caulking cartridge is loaded into the gun, and when the trigger is squeezed, the rod advances, pushing the caulking material out through the nozzle for precise application.
