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 saw this item and decided to give it a try. Now, I normally use low temp because I am a wuss about singeing my fingers. But, the cordless feature and how lightweight it was caught my attention.Pros:1. You can use multi-temp gluesticks with this but it IS a high temp glue gun. If you do want a lower temp, either wait a bit after removing it from the base to use it (it will start cooling) or squeeze some on a piece of cardboard and use a toothpick to place your blob.2. This is NOT a rechargeable glue gun. It is a glue gun that sits on a plugged-in corded power base. You can then take the glue gun off the base (it IS cordless) and use it. When off the power base, it stays very hot for quite awhile.3. Because there is not a rechargeable battery in the glue gun, it is incredibly lightweight. Basically just a light plastic body holding a gluestick with a trigger.4. It heats up very quickly and cools down quickly. Allowing you to use it on a project and then quickly store it away.5. It has the power base attached to a holder with a slick pad (teflon? silicon?) under the tip of the glue gun. You have to use the thing to understand how useful this is. You know how you always have to put something under your glue gun in case it drips? You don't with this one. If it does drip, it hits the slick pad. Once the drop has cooled, you can easily peel the glue off.Cons:1. I found that if you use it for a very long period of time (hour+), you might need to let it cool completely down and then start again. It can get a little hot if it just sits for a long period of time. But then that is true of most glue guns.2. It needs a temperature light. It does not tell you when the glue is at a useable temperature. So do not try to force the glue through before the gun has fully heated. You can test by lightly squeezing the trigger and seeing if it is ready.It is the same brand as the little dual temp glue gun that I have had for almost 30 years (I could not find my old one at first, so I ordered this one). That original one is still in perfect working order. This one looks like it will last me a long time also (lol - I will probably have to hand it off to someone in my old age).Give it a try, you will be glad you did.

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.

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.

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.

It's nice having a glue gun that can be used plugged in OR wireless both. I use this for crafts and repairs mainly. It heats up fast and feels sturdy and durable. This was a good value purchase. It stands up nicely in the provided stand and even looks neater than most glue guns of this size.

Absolutely love this. Ideally for small projects, love that its cordless, but you have like a 2 minute window before needing to place back on the stand. Heats up pretty quickly. I have used mainly for classroom decor doors at my daughters school and cricut projects.

I bought a bunch of these for crafts because I own an art studio that does classes. They worked great for the most part. I love the detachable gun making it easy to craft. I found that after a couple times of use some of them stopped working though. The trigger jammed & won't allow the glue to feed through. It happened with about 4 or 5 out of the 10 I bought.
