Review on MONVICT Full-Size 80 / 120W Base Stand-Up Hot Glue Gun - Dual Temp Heavy Duty Glue Gun with 12 Glue Sticks for Art, DIY, Craft, Repair, Home, Decor, Office by Linda Diaz

This glue gun heats up quickly, convenient and easy to use. At first glance it looks like it is cheaply made. It's definitely not a high-end glue gun, but it does come at a decent price. It has a solid base that allows it to stand upright. The trigger is long and easy to reach. It has enough weight to stand upright but not too heavy to make it unwieldy. The box contains a glue gun, 12 short glue sticks, three finger guards (very valuable!) and a business card with instructions. The switch goes up for low, down for high, medium for off. An indicator light on the back shows at a glance what temperature it is set to. I cranked the gun to maximum and waited two minutes before testing. It was up and running in two minutes. Glue flows easily but doesn't stop flowing. The instruction card photo shows how much glue came out in less than a minute. I thought a vertical shotgun would solve this problem, but it doesn't. In fact, more came out than I'm used to when it's very hot. This isn't a problem for me, plus the leak stopped immediately on a low setting. The glue was malleable enough to be used at a low level. The nozzle is a bit thicker than I would like, but it still maneuvers easily in tight spaces. It is best suited for large crafts rather than very small projects that require more precise glue application. Overall, this was a much better purchase than the one I bought from the national craft chain last year for about the same price. This took about 2 minutes and was just a pain to use. This Monvict glue gun is much better than the one I had and I am happy with my purchase. Decided to change it to 5 stars because it's so much better than what I had and I really like it.
