September 17, 20187 yr Every once in a while, you have a job for a glue gun. I had such a job today. I have a small gun for small easy jobs. I have a large gun I got from Sears years ago, I've used it a lot. Today I chose the large one, haven't used it for more than a year or so. I plugged it in and got a coffee. When I returned it had overheated and the glue was coming out with bubbles in it, all by itself. I have never trusted any heating tool to control itself enough to allow it to go unattended for more than a few minutes. I'm glad I didn't today
September 18, 20187 yr I think this is a tool one must stay with it for the person that feeds the glue into the heat is the more or less regulator. I do know what you mean for I plug mine in and do other things till its ready then forget... My Dremels are the ones that runs all night sometimes for I can't hear like I use to!! One good thing though, that end of the shop is facing the bedroom so once the fire starts because of it I might get to watch it burn.
September 18, 20187 yr I have an Ad Tech brand gun 300 watts It has no on off switch which strikes me as weird. I have walked away from it and it shuts itself down. Then when I pull the plug and plug it back in it starts up again.
October 14, 20196 yr The only real use i found for them is that they make a good clamp until the real wood glue drys.
