The glue gun works with significantly higher temperature than the normal low-cost devices. This limits on one side a the bond materials, on the other hand increases the higher temperature and the time during which the adhesive can be processed. With the adhesive results I'm extremely satisfied with the handling of the gun itself. The heating is in order and corresponds to the description. But especially good is the heat capacity, even heated one can practically by pressing a complete pin the shortest possible time. In short, the gun justifies the higher price by more comfortable working. Long-term experience I have not with the unit. Something I am concerned about the foldable foot, this might be more stable. On the other hand it is very convenient, simply fold and require gluing, then when you want to turn off the gun he can be with the handheld simply unfold without the second hand.
