Best ever in a long sad line of previously owned toy glue guns.One of the best features of this model, is the very positive glue stick advancing mechanism. When the installed glue stick is consumed to the point that it no longer advances, simply insert a fresh stick and keep on gluing without interruption.No messing around trying to bond new stick to old, or trying to hold the work piece, pull the trigger, and keep pressure on the new stick using only two hands.The gun holds its temp well with minimum standby dribble, but when the trigger is pulled, this baby delivers some very hot product, which definitely helps ensure a firm bond. The first test of this was to hold a slightly bowed piece of 3/4" plastic lumber flat against a flatter fir board in order to resurface the plastic lumber through a thickness sander, (to prepare a small sign). The approx 2" dia spot of hot glue not only held the plastic lumber flat against the fir board during the sanding, but tore away some splinters of wood from the fir board during removal. This even after applying denatured alcohol which normally acts as a pretty good release agent for hot glue bond.One of my pet peeves of previous glue guns is the instability of most while on standby. It seems that it was always too easy to somehow tip many of these toy guns over, off the table, under the workbench, etc. This model has addressed standby probably as well as I've seen done. The removable stand under the grip, and the flip down stand under the nozzle, make the standby mode almost "bomb proof" while pretty well staying out of the way while actually gluing. Also this gun while not at all "heavy", is somewhat heavier than most, which also seems to make the standby mode more secure.One con however is the rubber overlay on the palm side of the pistol grip. It is supposed to be held in place by numerous little nubbins fitting into slots in the plastic grip. The nubbins on my model neither seem to fit nor grip, but certainly not a deal breaker. With or without the rubber overlay, for the price, the best glue gun I've encountered.

This is not an industrial-quality glue gun. For light occasional use it's a good tool. It does require industrial quality glue with 1/2 inch diameter and high melt temperature. Great for heavy duty jobs. It's going to be useless for crafting. Low temperature glues will just run through it and smaller diameters will not feed right.

I specifically chose this particular glue gun because the product photo showed that interchangeable nozzles were included. I need the long thin nozzle for an important project. The glue gun works great but the specs are misleading.

Gets hot quick and works great on the standard size glue sticks.

Hey fellow DIYers! We are working on an installation of Flooret LVP and wanted to share our experience with this glue gun. We bought it based on a recommendation from a flooring pro on YouTube and it's been helpful to have it on hand. I would ⚠️ warn you to take precautions, this glue gun gets extremely hot. Watch yourself and the kids when it is plugged in! At first we were not going to purchase it, but admittedly there have been various times we used the glue to help temporarily lock in an end block to hold unfinished rows until our return to the project. If you are embarking on a construction project that may need a hot glue gun, this one serves it's purpose well.

If you're in this far, you might as well spend more and get an adjustable temp model as this one runs so hot that most any glue you put in it will run right out... like puddles, not just drips.Ultimately, it's likely because the gun simply gets too hot — which might be great for some applications and sticks, but not for general varied (craft or industrial) use. For instance, most of my work requires black glue (vs. clear) and there's not a high-temp black stick available. Wood-specific sticks are the worst and turn to maple syrup in the unit. Ugg. I've hundreds of lumps of leaked glue around my shop and gobs of glue on most every shop towel I own — which creates a secondary PITA if they get washed and they hit the dryer with glue on them.The gun is very well built, but like a lot of things: if it doesn't do the one job it's supposed to do well, then it's ultimately a failure. This gun fails.

The first thing you will notice is how it fits your entire hand and feels like an actual glue gun instead of a mini piece of equipment. It takes 10 inch glue sticks so you don't have to keep reloading, dispenses glue fast and it is quite hot! The best feature that I love is the fact that it does not drip. I used to have to put cardboard under the tip of my old glue guns but no longer. This really is a great piece of equipment and if you don't have something similar you really should consider getting this now!
