"This Romech glue gun is a real workhorse! It heats up super fast and the dual power setting is really handy. I've tackled a bunch of projects, from fixing toys to creating decorations, and I definitely recommend it to anyone who needs a reliable glue gun."

"I appreciate the built-in stand for keeping the glue gun upright. Plus, it comes with a case and glue sticks, which is a nice touch. The heat settings let me turn it off without unplugging, and I find it surprisingly lightweight for its size. Overall, it's a great value for all the features!"

"After trying a glue gun from Walmart that didn’t heat properly, I switched to this Romech glue gun, and it's superior! The glue gets hot enough with no drips and is easy to operate. The price is excellent, especially with all the included glue sticks. I'm very happy with my purchase!"

"This glue gun is everything I needed and more! It heats up super quickly, so there's no waiting around when I'm ready to dive into a project. The glue is impressively strong and holds up well, making it perfect for both quick fixes and creative DIY adventures. If you're looking for a glue gun that's reliable, efficient, and gets the job done right every time, this is it. Awesome product—I'm super impressed!"

"I am in love with this glue gun! It is such a perfect size for my little hands - and it works perfectly! It came with plenty of glue sticks, so I won't have to buy any for a while! It's a great little product and awesome value!"

"If I could give 10 stars, or better yet hearts, I would. This Gorilla gun has a small nozzle and high and low temp settings, making it perfect for small work. I can fuss with my piece all I want, and even lay the gun on its side without any glue leaking out. I haven’t found a downside yet!"

"I recently picked up the Gorilla Dual Temp Full Size Hot Glue Gun with the precision nozzle, and I'm really happy with how it performs. The dual-temp feature is fantastic for working with different materials. The precision nozzle allows me to apply glue exactly where needed without making a mess. It heats up quickly, and the glue sticks fit well, providing a smooth flow. My only minor issue is that the trigger can be a bit stiff when working on longer projects, but it's not a dealbreaker. Overall, it's a reliable tool for crafting and DIY projects—just handle it with care since it can get quite hot!"

"I recently bought the Gorilla Dual Temperature Glue Gun for my crafting projects, and I'm extremely pleased with its performance. Although it takes about 2 minutes to warm up, it works exceptionally well. The dual temperature feature is really convenient for switching between projects. Plus, the built-in stand is a great addition, making it easier to use without damaging any surfaces. I highly recommend this glue gun for anyone in need of a versatile crafting tool."

"The Gorilla Dual Temp Full-Size Hot Glue Gun Kit heats up quickly, as it says in the instructions—around 5 minutes is best to wait. Using it before then doesn’t allow the glue to melt fully, leading to weaker adhesion. While I prefer the high setting, I appreciate having the option. The power light indicator is surprisingly helpful to confirm whether it's still plugged in. The gun's surface is comfortable and doesn't get hot, aside from the glue-feeding tip. The glue sticks fit easily, and like other Gorilla products, the adhesion is strong!"

"This full-size glue gun has been a great upgrade from the mini ones I usually use. It heats up quickly and the glue flows fast—perfect for tackling bigger projects. The larger glue sticks are a huge plus since I don't have to keep reloading as often. The gun is well-balanced and stands upright without any wobbling, making it super convenient during use. It feels solid and comfortable in hand. I'll be leaving the minis to my kids for their projects and be sticking with this one from now on."

"When I first opened the package, I was surprised at how lightweight it was. I thought it might be cheap, but to my surprise, it's not! It heats up in a reasonable amount of time, and the outside stays cool. Unlike my old glue gun, this one streams glue effortlessly. I'm very happy with my purchase. If I could change one thing, it would be to make a heavier base stand since it can be knocked over easily. I did have some issues with precision due to the bulky nozzle, but overall, it’s a great product."

"I bought this glue gun for my daughter, and it works very well! She's happy with it, and I appreciate the large-sized glue sticks. It’s easy to use, and I can easily recommend it! Plus, the color is pretty pink!"

"My old glue gun broke, so I got this one as a replacement. It’s about as steady as any glue gun—not very. I need to be careful when I set it down. It has two heat settings, and while I found the warm plastic smell strong, the low setting works fine. Overall, it gets the job done."

"I bought this glue gun mainly because it’s a Black and Decker product. I thought their quality would be better than some of the lower-grade options out there. My first issue is that the glue sticks are too short. I got 20, but I’d prefer 10 longer ones. Also, the glue doesn’t bond very strongly once cooled. It’s okay for arts and crafts, but not for anything requiring a strong hold. Finally, the built-in stand isn’t very effective; the gun tips over easily. Despite these points, the glue gun seems well-made."

"This hot glue gun is easy to use. I’m very satisfied with it as it heats up quickly and doesn’t leak like others I’ve had."

"I absolutely love this glue gun! The stand with the drip catcher tray is fantastic, and it hardly drips at all. It's super easy to use, and the small nozzle prevents excess glue."

"I appreciate the cordless feature for my crafting projects. It makes it easy to maneuver without dealing with a cord."

"I've been using this glue gun for two years now, and I'm still impressed! It heats up quickly and stays hot long enough for my crafting needs."

"I needed a way to fill knots on a dining room table and wanted to use Knottec's black wood repair glue sticks. The Knottec 1/2" x 10" sticks fit perfectly with this glue gun. I’d recommend this glue gun to both novices and experienced woodworkers. You can purchase the pieces individually, which really saves money!"

"I’m not usually fond of hot glue, but I had to buy a new glue gun for some crafting with my wife. This one is impressive in size and build quality. It heats up quickly and dispenses glue well. I think this glue gun is worth the money, especially compared to cheaper options!"

"I’ve waited a long time to find the right glue gun, and the AdTech Pro 200 was the perfect choice. It’s highly reviewed and even rebranded by 3M. This glue gun can really push glue well, and it retains heat effectively even when unplugged. It’s great to have a reliable glue gun for repairs!"

"I'm not joking. This is the very best glue gun I've ever used. Fast heating, clean and precise application, and it even has standby mode and two speeds. What is there not to like? Just make sure you use quality glue sticks!"

"I really like the design of this glue gun. It stands up nicely on its attached stand, and I appreciate the two heat settings. It allows for more precise work without dripping glue."

"I wanted a zero-nonsense overbuilt glue gun, and that's exactly what I got. It works great, but I learned to give it 2-3 minutes for maximum glue speed."

"I've never had a glue gun like this before. It’s solid, lightweight, and has a longer cord. It heats up quickly and doesn't drip glue, which was a common issue with my past glue guns. The price is very reasonable too!"

"I’m really impressed with this glue gun. No drips while resting, and it heats up so fast. It sits nicely on my workspace without falling over. Overall, a very good glue gun, especially if you need a steady flow without mess."

"This glue gun is fantastic! Quick to heat up, sturdy yet light, and it works with larger glue sticks. I love the dual power options and the ability to easily change nozzles. It’s been a great tool for both small and heavy tasks!"

"I found this glue gun to be light and easy to handle. It heats up quickly and has performed wonderfully for my crafting needs. I’d definitely recommend it!"

"After losing my previous glue gun, I specifically bought this one to replace the sisal on my cat's scratcher tree. It works perfectly for that purpose!"

"I purchased two of these for both work and home. They are great little guns that heat up fast. The only downside is the stand, but I just place it on a heatproof mat, so it’s not a big deal!"
