Chandler Tool Mini Hot Glue Gun And Sticks Set for Crafts and DIY Pistola De Silicona Caliente Inalambrica Complete Hot Glue Gun Kit With Glue Sticks (Blue)

Whoa, I'm beyond impressed! I do a LOT of craft shows and five days a week my glue gun is plugged in between 7 and 12 hours a day - it gets a work out. The last few I had bought were the big professional grade guns (thought that was what I needed). The mess, the footprint space, and the waste from all the glue dripping was driving me batty. A few weeks ago I had a class to teach and needed a smaller one that was more portable and ordered this little baby thinking I would just use it as my "travel gun". First of all, the stand - if you haven't used a glue gun with a stand before, you don't know how much you will appreciate it. It's astounding what a difference it makes to have NO mess on the tip of the gun. Second, the lightweight construction of the gun is wonderful - you actually get more control, not less. Also, there is no dripping at all, ZERO! So no waste, no mess, no need for a drip catcher which also saves on the space you need for crafting. The cord is longer than the other guns I've worked with which is a total bonus and every single inch of this gun feels well made and safe. The body of it doesn't get hot at all. It simply does a perfect job of providing a focused application of evenly melted glue exactly where you want it. The only thing I noticed that could be considered a challenge (and it's really not, just felt I had to mention something here) is a slight stutter when transitioning from one glue stick to the next. My absolute favorite feature is lightning fast heat up time. So my "travel gun" is now the only one I use, at home and on-the-go, it's the only one I need. Definitely a five star product that I would heartily recommend!

This is a great little glue gun. The glue does not leak, It comes out hot, very hot so be careful. Absolutely no problem changing from one glue stick to another. If, as some reviewers stated the gun did not grab the new stick, I recommend they not try to change sticks too early, make sure the new stick is far enough down the channel and that they pump a few times. I just love the stand. I cant see ever going back and using the old kind of stand we are use to. I don' t lose this glue gun on my craft table as I have in the past with mini guns. I was a little concerned that the tip is flush with the heat protector, while I understand this to be a safety feature, I wasn't sure I would be able to be precise with the glue placement. I had nothing to worry about. The tip got into small places just fine. I did fine that after using the gun for awhile some glue remained on the tip. This was easily removed.

I have used this glue gun for a few days now on a cardboard project. I follow the directions for a five minute preheat, and the glue flows easily and sets up quickly, but not too quick. You still have plenty of time for proper positioning. There is no dripping of glue; it only flows when the trigger is pulled. The base of the gun is also a stand and works perfectly without tipping over. This gun is ideal for my needs with cardboard. If I were going to do serious woodworking, I would probably opt for the full size model. With that said, this gun works as advertised, and I strongly recommend it as a mini glue gun.

This is a great little glue gun. It warms well and you can control the glue pretty well. The silicon tip helps keep fingers or arms from being burned, and also helps cut the glue after you Lay down a bead. I had a cheaper glue gun before I bought this one, and the glue was always pouring out if it. Not this one! It controls the temperature very well. My only complaint is that the base doesn’t really work well because the cord’s movement and/or angle makes the gun very unstable. It can fall over very easily, even from just slight cord movement. The base can also detach from the gun if you’re not persistent to check it. The slide lock is small and easily slips out of the shallow holes on the gun. A touch of super glue holds it nicely. To fix the weight and sturdiness issue, I saw where someone glued the gun to a block of wood. I tried the same thing, and it worked! My gun now has plenty of weight, isn’t manipulated by the cord, and is still just as useful as before. I don’t worry one bit about it any more. One tip - the base isn’t solid on the bottom. It’s honeycomb, so put down plenty of glue before you attach the gun to the wood. I didn’t use enough the first time and it detached after a few days. It would be nice if this gun had a power switch on it, but I know most at this price range don’t. Other than the (fixable) issues listed above, I like the gun and use it often.

I've had a lot of small glue guns over the years, always the ones you can buy at craft stores. This one is a million times better than all of them for two reasons: 1) it NEVER leaks glue, and 2) it stands upright on its base rather than using the little swing foot under the nozzle, making it far easier to grab and glue quickly and eliminating the fuss with swinging the little foot back and forth. I will rely on this little gun for all my hot glue needs going forward.
