I do like this super glue and I've been using it for small repairs and also to help with cracked skin on my fingers as it's very dry here lately and I work with my hands a lot. Inside this large plastic packaging is a small metal tube with 6 grams of super glue. That's fine, and super glue is very inexpensive these days but the common problem is the lid gluing itself on so you can't use it again. The way the top screws on does prevent that from happening for the most part and I've used this pen several times and the top still unscrews easily.The button on the side basically presses against the metal tube and it doesn't take much to get the glue flowing and I've barely touched the button at all. I think it will help more once the tube empties out a bit more. I do like the large size of this dispenser, it is sort of like a thick pen and makes it easier to apply the glue to smaller pieces.The glue itself is basic super glue. Nothing special like a gel, and it is very runny if you use it on vertical surfaces. One nice thing is that it dries very quickly. In under a minute, it's mostly dry. I've been able to just hold plastic pieces together for a minute and they stay together. I usually then let it dry another hour before handling it and so far it's been very strong for average household repairs. Good product, I think I like it better than the Loctite gel I normally use because that takes forever to dry but it does have its place in certain situations.
