PKP 18 E

This is a very good glue gun, and I am slightly embarrassed to admit I've bought 3 of them so far, for use with different types of glue stick. What I like:- The Long nozzle. Very often, I've struggled to use other glue guns because they don't allow me to place glue accurately into awkward areas. This glue gun solves that with a very useful long nozzle that allows you to place glue precisely in little nooks and crannies. Seriously, don't under-estimate how useful that is. The Trigger: The trigger action is smooth and allows a (user-dependent) consistent bead of glue to be applied. The Lead: The lead is a little over 2m long which is long enough to be useful without being a pain to store. What bothers me:- Slow Heat-up: The glue gun has quite a slow heat-up time, in my opinion. It's actually not that bad for a mains glue gun, but I also own Bosch's excellent cordless glue pen (for 7mm glue sticks) which heats up in 15 seconds and is very quick and convenient to use. Wasteful feed mechanism: This is why I own more than one of these guns. The feed mechanism pushes from the back, and so you have to feed a fair bit of a glue stick in before any glue comes out. Then if you want to change the type of glue stick, you have a fair bit of the existing glue stick to get through before the new colour/type of glue emerges. This is particularly annoying when you have to feed a new stick in to allow the gun to push through the first stick, and then the new stick can't be removed easily without risk of damaging the feed mechanism. This is more of a pain than it sounds, a decent glue sticks aren't that cheap and cheap glue sticks do not perform well. Hence, I ended up buying another couple of these guns when Amazon had a sale on. All in all, the ownership experience is pretty good. The glue-gun works well and if you register promptly after purchase, Bosch give you an extended 3-year warranty. Even at full price, they're fair value, given the usefulness of the long nozzle and that 3-year warranty, but keep an eye on the price, because they do drop under £20 fairly regularly (though not for long) and they're a bargain if you can grab one when they do. Do consider the Bosch Glue pen too though, as the rapid heat-up time and cordless convenience make a really appealing package.

Good make and well made

I've had glue guns since they first came on the domestic ma to let back in the 70's. I still have my original one that works perfectly. What I liked about the Bosch is the long slim nose that gets in the hard to reach corners and the trigger drive for the glue sticks. This represents a big advantage over the original design of glue gun.

Arrived today which was expected and I immediately gave it a test run. Pros: It is very light and a decent size. There is a generous length of quality lead The nozzle is very fine and fairly long (one reason for buying this one) Cons: The instruction book is very vague The nozzle has to be attached but there is a metal cup that goes onto it before fitting it so some guess work during assembly. The gun is designed to be able to rest on a wire stand and its handle whilst warming it can stand there but is precarious to say the least prone to fall over and dribble hot glue. Use I used it to glue together some plywood parts. The gun heats up after about 7-8 minutes and having already inserted the glue stick you squeeze the trigger to push out the hot clear glue from the nozzle apply the glue and contact together the parts. It dries really quickly and goes from clear when hot back to white again once it has cooled the parts are stuck fast. The only problem I had was as mentioned in the cons above once you have applied the glue you need to work quickly and putting the gun back in its built in stand is tricky as the cable tends to cause the gun to tip over fiddling with this means the glue is cooling all the while. I will make a stand for mine from polymorph or some such to holster the gun between applications. When hot and on its stand it does leak a tiny amount of glue so do not stand it on a surface likely to be damaged. Luckily the leaked glue cooled and peeled off my work top . On the whole I think this is a good investment my first hot glue gun and am very happy with it so far. I many add to this review if anything else comes to mind later.

If you're looking for a great quality glue gun then this is it. I've had mine 2 years andit's s still going strong. Ought it to do one or two jobs however its been used for all sorts of glueing , daughters art projects. And in moulds to make things too. It's very useful. Built in stand a great idea, it's robust and gets quickly up to temperature. It doesn't drip except if left on, on the stand for quite a while and never in use the trigger action is very precise and s neat nozzle produces a nice round bead of glue. It's great value and if it gives up I'd buy another as this on has had a loit of use and just as good as it was on day 1. The only variable are the glue sticks. Great bit of kit. Reccomend.

très bien, mais j'ai reçu avec un prise d'Angleterre?? En France!

Great product. Very happy with it.

Very good glue gun, it comes also with one glue stick which is very nice. Fast delivery. The only thing that would be really good also would be to have an on/off button on the gun instead of removing it from the socket. Apart from that amazing !

Good for me and for my use .
