Review on πŸ”Œ Convenient and Versatile: Westcott Premium Hot Glue Pen with 5" Cord (16761) by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Broke on FIRST use! Eats glue sticks.

When I received this little glue gun, I had high hopes for it. I do a lot of needlework and needed a new gun just to use for fabric glue. Unfortunately, when I received it, there were no instructions with it, although it was nicely packaged in a small shell. When I inserted the mini Surebonder glue stick, it immediately started dripping out of the nozzle before I even started my project. When I pulled on the plunger, assuming I had to do that because I saw the video above, the little handle broke off. If I didn't keep pressing the back of the glue stick, the glue wouldn't come out of the nozzle. I can't comment on the stickiness of the included stick because I purchased Surebonder brand fabric glue sticks specifically for use with this gun. It's definitely not an easy-to-use element and is awkward and clumsy at best. To make matters worse, it dripped onto my clothes while I was trying to fix the butt grip. I will return it, even for such a low price of $7 that it's not worth keeping.
