Gorilla 8401509 โšก Scary stuff, but it works โšก - all pros and cons about this

When buying any power tool, I try to choose a reliable manufacturer to serve faithfully for a long time. But a couple of years ago it happened that I urgently needed a glue gun for a small repair of a magnetic board. She fell off the corners that covered the dangerous metal corners. Gluing them tightly was not an option, as these corners concealed holes for wall mounting, which we hoped to use after all. And since at that time the magnetic board was just on the table leaning against the wall, the corners had to be glued so that they could be torn off at any time. โ€ข BETWEEN EXCHANGE When I entered the fix price store, I was surprised to see a glue gun for some ridiculous money, as far as I remember it was something around 100 rubles. The gun was sold packaged in plastic, which included a leaflet with information about the product. I thought that even if the gun deteriorated quickly, I would not be sorry for the money spent. The gun was super simple and very light. I even wanted to open it in order to glue it from the inside so that no element fell off and the gun itself did not crumble in my hands. That's why I love a high-quality expensive instrument, it's because it's nice to even hold it in your hands. And the fixed price gun is scary. Two pieces of plastic are twisted with a pair of screws, and inside there is a simple heating element. Closer to the spout is a footrest that can be folded during operation so as not to interfere. During operation, the metal spout gets very hot, so you need to be careful not to burn yourself. The fastening of the wire to the gun is very flimsy, it was it that I wanted to glue more securely in the first place. The length of the wire is about a meter, the plug is small, like a toy. There were no glue sticks in the kit, so they had to be bought separately. The price for 10 rods is about 50 rubles. Glue is consumed very quickly, so I took it in reserve. Reading other reviews about the gun, I realized that I was lucky, since my gun has been working for 2 years. I repair everything with them, knowing that the glue does not stick to the dead and it can always be torn off. My daughter periodically makes crafts from glue, she draws ideas from the Internet or comes up with herself. Only knowing about the unreliability of the tool you have to be with her. Every time I think that I should buy a good quality pistol. Summing up, I can say that the fix price glue gun is very light and flimsy, like a toy, itโ€™s frankly scary to work with it. Despite this, he has been working for two years. If possible, I will buy an expensive high-quality pistol, as the baby is growing up and we will do crafts with him at home and for the kindergarten.
