Vent: I chose the cheap caulk gun over the nice one, now I have a new baseboard project

So last Saturday I'm staring at two caulk guns at the hardware store in Tulsa. One is $8, the other is $28 with this fancy drip release trigger. I told myself I'd only use it once for the bathroom, so I grabbed the cheap one. Big mistake. That thing would not stop dripping no matter what I did. I spent an hour wiping globs off the tub and my hands, then when I released the pressure it shot a bead straight across the baseboard. Now I got this thick crusty line I gotta scrape off and redo. Should've just paid the extra twenty bucks, or better yet used my finger and a wet rag like my dad always did. Has anyone else had a caulk gun decide to betray them mid-project, or is it just me and my bad luck? I'm honestly thinking about switching to those squeeze tubes next time, they seem easier to control.
