Surebonder Cordless Hot Glue Gun, High Temperature, Full Size, 60W, 50% More Power - Sturdily Bonds Metal, Wood, Ceramics, Leather & Other Strong Materials (Specialty Series CL-800F)

I have hand strength issues and I do my crafting and a very small space, and there's always a clutter of items while I'm creating. When I was building my ink pad storage system out of foam core board my glue gun cord kept getting in the way and I got so frustrated I could spit. That's when I decided to shop for a cordless glue gun. I watched YouTube videos until I was blue in the face and read everything I could find. I wasn't willing to buy something with a battery pack or something that was commercial grade because I really don't use it that often. I watched several good demonstrations of the surebonder cordless 60 glue gun, and though there were some negative reviews, I took the plunge. The price was right and the trigger looked like it would accommodate my declining hand strength. Was my old guns my hand would begin to shake uncontrollably when I try to squeeze the glue out. I set it up today and did my own test. This baby gets HOT, the glue flows well when you pulled the trigger, and it's easy to use. You do need to follow the directions about putting in your glue sticks and letting them sit in the chamber while it warms up for 5 minutes because I believe if you are in a hurry and can't give it time to do its job that is what causes a lot of problems. I set a timer for 5 minutes and it was ready to go when the beeper went off. Then I put it back on the dock just because I needed two hands and I start of the stopwatch on my phone. I was gluing all kinds of scrap cardboard and cardstock together and it didn't become difficult to squeeze the trigger until it was approaching 6 minutes off the dock! At that point the glue was cooling off a bit, the bond was a little bit more lumpy than I would have liked, but that far surpassed my expectations. I did not get any dripping on the glue pad, I feel confident laying it on its side with the wings so that the glue does not back up into the loading chamber, the indicator light lets me know when it's on, and I don't have enough good things to say about this piece of equipment. I am storing my ancient full-size and mini glue guns just in case I have the occasion to have a group crafting session somewhere. all in all I would recommend this to anyone who wanted a cordless glue gun and didn't want to pay contractors prices for the big name brands with the batteries that you can change out for different power tools. also I didn't want something that you could plug into a USB outlet because I don't have one near my paper crafting desk and it would have been very inconvenient for me. This is a win-win purchase.

Works really well and it’s so convenient not having a cord in the way. It’s not messy and is easy to use.

Bought this for a big project, come to do project I find it didn’t work. The on light burned out within an hour the glue never melted to pump out. Too late to return!Not recommend.

I love this glue gun. It’s cordless, heats up quickly, handles big glue jobs. The amount of waste it produces when not in use is significant, but otherwise I like it.

This is a very nice cordless hot glue gun. The little drip plate in front works amazingly well. It has a little silicone pad that the glue lands on and comes off of it very easily. Can use it for a decent amount of time before it needs to be plugged back in to reheat. Have not had any issues with the way it works. Definitely recommend.

You're going to see some negative reviews, don't believe them. I don't know what these people want or what more the guys who made this thing could do to satisfy them but man this thing is awesome. Yeah it's a wireless glue gun what else do you want? Of course you can't use it forever indefinitely without having attached to a power source. Of course that's just common sense that's just how batteries work. So if you're using it for a large scale project that is going to require constant high temperature gluing then this may not be the appropriate tool or the job therefore the problem is not with the tool it is with you the user who have now made themselves into a tool. For my needs basic crafting little handy jobs around the house whatever it's perfect it's ergonomic fits nicely in my hand holds a large capacity of glue and has a nice smooth transition between sticks Yes the tip does run but it has a catch plate for that there's thoughtfulness and the design. The haters are going to hate but this thing looks cool functions great and it's fairly inexpensive. I think this is a home run for any hobbyist crafter or handy person. I'm more than satisfied.

Not the mini cheap department store gun. This fits my hand and feels pretty solidly put together. The cordless feature is great in my shop, where I try to keep the tripping cords to a minimum. This does everything I want it to do.

So this works fine. But you must keep it inserted into the docking station, or it continues to cool. The "cordless" is a misnomer. So basically it is the same as unplugging a corded glue gun and using it until it cools. That is what happens with this. You can take it off the base, but it will slowly cool until you cannot use it and then you have to put it back in the base. It does not hold a charge.Other than that yeah it works fine. But I really wish I could get one that holds a charge!
