Review on πŸ’ͺ Top-notch Performance of ProsKit GK 368 Battery Operated Glue for Flawless Bonding by Ada Pindelska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

Remade the gun to work from an external source. Not every phone charger will fit - cheap no-name chargers cannot provide the currents indicated on the label, you need to be prepared for this. When testing, one charger (with passport 5 volts 2 amperes) gave out only 0.6 amperes, and the other (with similar passport data) already gave out more than 1 ampere, which is the norm given that the gun is designed for 6-7 volts (if you increase the voltage, then it increased would and consumed current). This is clearly seen in the work of the built-in backlight LED - when the power is insufficient, it glows very weakly. The connector was glued with hot glue. for lack of a second hot-melt adhesive gun, he melted the rods with a lighter and dripped the melt onto the place of gluing. WHEN WORKING FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE, THE BATTERY PACK IS DISCONNECTED (this will not harm the batteries (they have 5-6 volts in common), but it is not known what effect it will have on the charger (it may go into protection and you will consume battery current, instead of working from the mains ). IMPORTANT NOTE! When using phone charging as a power source, you MUST COMPLETELY REPLACE THE WIRES IN THE USB CABLE! This is shown in one of the photos. This must be done because the standard wire is very thin and if you use a sufficiently long cable (1.6 meters), then there is a drop in voltage and current (on a standard USB cable, the multimeter showed a voltage of 2.5 volts (at the gun input) and 0.6 amperes (with this charger and with a 0.5 meter cable the values ​​were 1.1 amps) ). On the old Soviet cable (also 1.6 meters long and 1-1.5 mm in cross section), taken from some kind of household appliances, the voltage did not drop, and the current values ​​​​were even higher than on a half-meter standard USB cable - 1.3-1.4 amperes.

Pros
  • AUTONOMY! Works even on NiMH batteries (heating time 1.5-2 minutes). Neat appearance. Comfortable in the hand. Able to work even from a phone charger (the total voltage of NiMH batteries is 5.08 volts, and the power of the gun is 7 watts, which means that the currents are not more than 1.4 Amperes, that is, any simple, two-ampere phone charger will easily pull this gun). You just need to mount the connector in the gun (USB. AUX or any other available) and connect in parallel to the wires coming from the batteries.
Cons
  • Cheap NiMHs do not hold a charge well and, quite quickly, self-discharge (2-3 months before being completely discharged), while expensive NiMHs are expensive (GP. Panasonic) and are no longer as profitable as power from conventional batteries. I didn’t calculate, but I think that pistols on lithium-ion are more economical in terms of capacity, cost of batteries, and ease of use.
