Conventional devices:
- Long warm-up time (about 8-15 minutes)
- Quite a large nozzle
- Poor controllability of the adhesive due to the construction
- Poor storage space due to the cable, causing the adhesive slowly drips out of the unit and dirty the unit or the pad
- Partially burns After non-use of the adhesive and is brown
- Partially dei devices did not last long and the metering lever is broken (usually when the adhesive was not hot enough)
- Through the cable all devices are disconnected from the power for a short time use
Well today we get the little marvel of Bosch and are really excited:
Bosch Glue Gun PKP 7,2 V lithium ion
- The heating is actually extremely short (15-20 sec which you can then switch it on when you really need it -. It does not have to remain inserted throughout the day)
- The nozzle is the smallest I've seen so far (and work) and allows very small amounts of glue
- Also the lever is good and gives a full control over the dosage
- Due to the design, you can leave the device super, so that actually runs no or hardly adhesive is not used out
- The peak is such that the excess adhesive can be easily removed after cooling
- Due to the auto power-off after 5 minutes expire no glue, or burns
- The processing is very good - the practical use over a long time will tell how the device is actually processed
- A big advantage is the battery, because you really can use the device everywhere
- Due to the design, which is similar to a cordless drill, it is expected that the device is significantly larger, which has only deterred us. But it is actually very small and light (300g), fits comfortably in your hand, so you can also perform fine work precisely
I have been looking for such a device and was only very skeptical whether the device from Bosch really is that good and his rather high price justifies. I am really happy about the fact that the engineers have examined the above conventional hot glue guns and have disengaged from my current perspective, all problems in a super device. Only two things remain to be mentioned:
- The machine does still threads - but that would have me wondering (it is more likely to be a problem of the adhesive)
- And the device is not suitable for certain applications in which large amounts quickly Heizkleber needed
As the supplied Heizkleber should be evaluated, I can not say yet, and is probably also very strong on the applications from. Not for nothing, there are in industrial hot glue guns also have a very wide range of different adhesives.
