Cordless glue gun, ideal for use on a wide selection of materials such as paper, cardboard, textiles, leather, plastic, wood, metal, cork or stone

This product will run for varying lengths of time depending on the battery used. The runtimes are as follows: That said, it is quite heavy once the battery is installed and certainly proves more unwieldy compared to cheaper corded rivals and tools like the Bosch GluePen, which is also battery powered but proves much smaller and easier to use when carrying out very precise glueing tasks.

It is easy to mistake this glue gun for one of Ryobi’s drills and other handheld power tools and impact drivers. Its rubberised grip, plastic trigger and neon green paint job make it feel very familiar if you’re used to the One+ family of tools, all of which can be powered by the same battery. As part of the Ryobi ONE+™ system of over 150 cordless tools for the home, garden, automotive, crafting and much more, the Ryobi 18V ONE+™ R18GLU-0 Glue Gun is perfect for fastening jobs such as securing electrical cables, crafting projects and so much more! Heat up times are officially pegged at two minutes from cold to the hottest setting, but I found you could easily use it on the lower temperature setting much faster. Unlike other guns, the intense heat is also focussed on the metal nozzle, which is neatly covered by a protective rubber sheath in this case. Glue guns aren’t the most complicated power tools you can buy but they are very useful and the amount of frustration you’ll experience when using one will vary dramatically depending on their build quality and performance.
