Cordless hot glue gun guide

Whether for small repairs in the home or the hobby – hot glue guns simplify the gluing enormously, by allowing punctual or small-scale work. Especially modelers appreciate the latter. With proper handling of glue guncan be worked safely and existing risks associated with the high temperature development can be avoided. Meanwhile, the devices are also available in smaller dimensions in the form of a pen.
Cable-free glue guns work on a battery-based basis and offer the convenience of being ready for use even in places without a power source. In addition, eliminates the annoying Entknoten the electric cable.

Adhesive materials and functionality

Using a Hot glue gunMaterials such as paper, wood, plastic or metal, sometimes stone, can be glued.
The principle of gluing is simple: The heated to about 170 to 200 degrees Celsius and thus liquefied adhesive is applied via a fine nozzle on the material to be bonded pinpoint, cools out there and produces in a very short time a firm adhesive bond. Long pressing is eliminated due to the actually short curing time.

Pistol or pen – an example

The Bosch company, here exemplified, has both variants on the market: the glue gun „Battery Glue Gun PKP 3“ and the „GluePen“, each as devices with battery operation.
The glue gun requires just 15 seconds to heat up and reaches a maximum temperature of 170 degrees Celsius. The bonding process is based on the use of glue sticks.
The battery of the device has a total capacity of 30 minutes of operation. Thus, up to six glue sticks can be processed. To fully recharge the battery afterwards, it takes three to four hours.
The „little brother“ of the pistol is in the form of a pen and has the same characteristics. The difference is in its shape and weight. At only 140 grams, the pen is comfortable in every hand.
A micro-USB charger makes for both models for an easy charging.

Important (further) properties

The process of hot sticking can lead to injuries in the form of burns due to the high temperature due to carelessness. In addition to proper use, it must be ensured when selecting a hot glue gun that only the nozzle head actually heats up for the respective product. In addition, an automatic shutdown of the device in the idle state is generally beneficial.
Ergonomically shaped handles also provide a secure grip in the hand. This should also be emphasized when buying.
For the avoidance of unnecessary drops, an automatic adhesive retreat makes sense. An LED heating and charging indicator completes the device comfort. Even devices with interchangeable nozzles belong to the product range of the cordless hot glue guns.
Fold-out feet allow safe parking while working with the device.
For individual products, the scope of delivery includes a metal box to store what the storagesignificantly simplified.

Conclusion

In general, cordless hot glue guns are a safe way to handle the house and the hobby. Different materials can be subjected to the hot glue process with their help. The battery operation ensures location-independent work.
Ergonomically perfectly shaped devices not only guarantee safety during use, but are also particularly well-suited for „small“ hands.
Hot glue guns are also suitable for modeling work, even on the smallest objects.
