Have this glue gun since December 2012. Since then it does its service reliably. However, had already been unlucky with nachgekauften glue sticks from other manufacturers (Dremel GG01 Multipurpose glue sticks, also from Amazon), which drew the glue gun is a wrong, even though they had the correct dimensions. Heats really on very quickly and one is without the cable not as localized as with other glue guns. Disadvantage: Very limited quantities available at Kleber. For crafting adequate, but for larger projects (skirting glue, for example) is not suitable. Also I would like to see a range of nozzles. The gelieferete nozzle is very short - often I would need a longer one. Other manufacturers offer different nozzles.
