My 8 year old granddaughter loves to do crafts. First I helped her with my DeWalt hot glue gun. She wanted to glue things herself, but I got a really bad burn when I was about 10 when I accidentally got a big ball of hot glue on my thumb and I didn't want that to happen to her. I bought her this low temperature glue. gun and she loves it. For what it does the glue holds up just as well as my high temp gun but at a much lower and safer temperature.
