Updated Review
Since writing my first review the team At CCbetter contacted me apologizing for my experience and explained to me that the mini glue gun is not strong enough for the kind of craft I was doing. They then proceeded to send me a brand new glue gun in the larger size free of charge which is fantastic! We redid the gemstone magnets and they are great! I would definitely recommend the larger glue gun they have for more heavy duty items and the smaller for items that need less strength.(Previous Review) We made gemstone magnets for the fridge. It was easy to use but after a few weeks the jewels fell off the magnets. I'm not sure if it's just the quality of the glue that comes with it the gun because the gun itself is easy to use.

Perfect for small hands! Very lightweight, and great for small projects
This heats up fairly quick. My first impression was that it was lighter and thinner than I expected. (You can see in my photos a few views). I have pretty tiny hands, but still feel like my hand encompasses it all. There is a small metal stand that helps keep the glue gun standing up to keep the metal nozzle from resting on surfaces, however, it only keeps it approximately 1/4" off of the surface. Also, since the "kickstand" is about as thick as a paperclip, it is very movement sensitive and will easily knock over if your table or surface isn't 100% solid and still. I personally don't mind, as I use silicone hot glue gun mats to protect my surfaces. so I can lay down my glue guns when I'm working quickly.I have also included a photo of my other glue guns for comparison. My pink one is a small $3.00 one from the craft store cashier's counter that I grabbed when I let a friend borrow my heavier duty blue one on the right side of the picture.It is great that this comes with 25 glue sticks. These particular glue sticks are too large for my small glue gun and too small for my large glue gun.The trigger is easy to use, and it feeds glue just as well as any other typical cheap or pricey glue gun. There is an on/off switch, which is a wonderful feature for glue guns, so that you don't need to unplug them every time you want to turn them off. The swivel feature was not really helpful for me, as it was not turning easily. It actually is very tight and doesn't move as freely as I had hoped.I do wish the kickstand was a little more sturdy or for the hand grip to have some sort of flat standing support, like my larger glue gun has. The cord is not very long, so you'll need to make sure you're working fairly close to a wall outlet.This glue gun seems to be similar in comparison to my $3.00 small glue gun (the pink one in my pictures). Although this glue gun has a couple more features than my pink one, the materials are cheaper quality than my smaller glue gun, and may not last quite as long. As for value for price, I am writing this review with the Prime Price tag at $10.99. I feel as though the glue gun & 25 glue stick combo would be more appropriately priced at $6-$8. This would be great for a starter glue gun or for small projects, but if you are going to be using a glue gun often and for many projects, I would suggest investing in a heavier duty one than this.I was provided this for the purpose of sharing my honest experience and feedback to assist, not only the company in making improvements to their products, but other Amazon shoppers in making informed decisions on their purchases.

Worked perfectly
Worked perfectly for repairing sisal rope on cat tower. Easy to use, light weight, and small for easy storage. Highly recommend for such a great price.

I really like this glue gun it’s very easy to use
-I really like this glue gun - it’s very easy to use and very light weight- I used it for about 4-5 hours earlier today and it worked great.-I gave it 5 stars except 4 for maneuverability because I’d really like to have a sturdier stand. The stand allows the heated point to be very close to the work surface- that being said I had aluminum foil down earlier for the project I was working on and didn’t have a problem but I’d definitely like the stand to keep the heated end higher. It is either in the position in the photos or closed - it feels like it should catch in the middle but doesn’t- if I have the handle off of the working surface it’s an acceptable distance for me- again with all of that being said I still really like it and would buy it again!- PS If you’re right handed you’ll easily be able to see if the power is on if you’re left handed you have to turn it to the side to look but us lefties are used to having toadjust :-} )

Great glue gun, bad glue
I had it on for around 4 hours straight and it worked great. I love that it has the on/off switch so if you have to leave it for a few minutes you don’t have to unplug it. The glue sticks that come with it aren’t that great. I used this to build a big platform for my hamsters out of popsicle sticks and twigs and the glue just gardens way too fast. I’m not sure how well the glue would hold something together because I just couldn’t get the popsicle sticks attached before it would start drying. I bought gorilla glue sticks and they work great in it so overall I’m happy with it.

At $11 and change this is a Steal!
PROS: Attached stand. ON/OFF switch! Super compact, nozzle fits well in small cracks. Comes with a TON of glue.CONS: Stand occasionally gets caught behind trigger. Doesn't interfere with function at all, but have to pull trigger to get it out.I got this glue gun to wrap up my Halloween costume, I would have gotten my money's worth if it had broken straight afterwards, but with two sticks Ive done that, fixed my sandals, fixed a loose desk leg, and a loose drawer, & its still going strong.I'm a big multi-tasker this is often useful in my life, however with a traditional glue gun, this is not a good thing. Most projects you would use one for will have you working with pretty flammable materials, a traditional gun plugs in to power the gun, then heats up for the entire time you have it plugged in, and many don't feature the nice little stand this one has, so putting it down hastily to go finish your cooking, not such a good plan.THIS gun, however, has an on/off switch! This simple but uncommon addition makes all the difference! Its stopped me from burning my house down once already.Hope that was helpful, I recommend thoroughly.
