Are all glue guns the same?

[Regdop]

Hi Fellas, I'm going to buy a glue gun next week, and notice there's not a lot of choice. Probably going for the Bosch from the big green hardware chain. Can anyone recommend any brand or offer any advice? cheers Gary

I don't know if they are all the but I have had a blue coloured Bosch trigger less model for well over 20 years and it is still going

I have the Bosch from Bunnings.
Have been using it for about 8 years no complaints here.

Cheers Matt.

I have Bosch green trigger one from Bunnings and it is fine.

8 year old grand daughter uses it a lot.

My partner just bought an ozito cordless glue gun as her other corded one broke, heats fast and lasts for about 45 minutes from one charge. I then found another one she had put in a drawer in the shed and forgot about. An old Bostik one, still going strong.

I have been using a cheap one I got in Bunnings about 20 years ago. No idea the brand but it keeps on going. Never knew there were cordless ones around but then I have not been looking for a while. They are simple tools so if it feels reasonably solid I don't think the brand really matters.

John

I don’t think you can use the word “solid” when describing a glue gun John [emoji23]
The cordless one is a ripper, I have used it a couple of times and it heats up fast, about 30 seconds. 7.2 volt non removable battery at the base means it stands up without falling over and it doesn’t have one of those wire stands to get in the way. $39.99

cheers everyone.... seems like there's no such thing as dodgey glue gun?....ill go with the bosch!

I too have a Bosch, but make sure you get the one with the long tip, makes it a lot easier to get into those tight corners

Ithink that the majority of electric glue guns will do the job as it is how hot they get to be able to melt the glue which is the main factor. I have a mix of Bosch, Bostik and a cheap brand all heat the glue to the right temperature and melt the sticks for apply to whatever I am making

Who can recommend a good sticky glue stick though? I don't seem to have much luck with any!
btw I have that cordless Ozito, good enough for me!!!
