PKP 3.6 LI

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.

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.

Great product and fast delivery

This is an honest review after 2 years of regular use.Pro:1. Relatively easy to use, although power cable is a bit heavy, but sturdy. Wonder if for same money you can get a full cordless with similar basic features nowadays..2. Thin pin that was useful, gives a bit more precision to your job3. Basic, but reliable so far.4. Stays on table standing, but design is not great, could have been betterCons:1. Temperature control doesn’t exist, however it takes the glue to correct melting temperature2. If left plugged for some time it starts to heat the body and starts leaking in the back. Check my picture, I have cleaned it but it somehow started accumulating glue on that end.3. When you put it standing on table, using that metal thing, while still plugged, make sure you put a plate or something under tip, because it will start leaking slowly. You don’t want glue on table or floor.Overall happy, but next time will be looking for cordless if anyone created it, plus thinner tip and temperature control. Thanks for reading my review.

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.
