A good hot melt glue gun?
« on: February 04, 2021, 02:34:19 am »
No sub-forum for tools (other than test equipment) so here I go.

I use glue guns lightly (maybe 20 10” sticks per year). A year ago I got a full-size (not mini) “low temp” (AKA not advertised as a high temp mode) glue gun. After a year the nozzle stopped flowing glue. These nozzles have a check ball in them so no simply unclogging it. Replacement nozzles NLA.

What’s the recommended high-temp glue gun? Bonus if replacement nozzles are available for it.

Thanks.

Insulated nozzle, but not replaceable.  I don't see why a glue gun nozzle would clog--with what?
A 3.5 digit 4.5 digit 5 digit 5.5 digit 6.5 digit 7.5 digit DMM is good enough for most people.

I've been using this one frequently for a couple of years:

I find the long nozzle really makes a difference in negotiating tight spaces - much more useful than you might think.

there are commercial models out there google. 

beware of hot melt guns cheaper ones.. they are known to start fire by themselves.. had a few myself do that.   never leave unattended, unplug when not used
