Best Glue Gun 2021: Stick things together quickly with hot glue

 

(Pocket-lint) - There is a moment in the creation of every self-respecting DIY-er when they know that they need a strong glue gun. It could be because you're loath to drill into something or because you just know it's best to just stick it down, but glue guns can be incredibly useful for a whole range of DIY ventures.

Right now we've done some proper searching to find you a range of the best glue guns on the market, from brands that you'll know to those that you probably haven't heard of. In no time, they'll have you clinging and holding to the content of your heart.

Our guide to the best glue gun to buy today

Bosch PKP 18E


It's not the cheapest one on this list, nor is it the most value-conscious one in use but we believe Bosch engineers have done a fantastic job of making a glue gun that doesn't feel cheap or tacky, and that will do whatever job you do.

The nozzle is slightly longer than average, making it perfect for bringing glue into crannies that are hard to reach, while an automatic glue retraction mechanism is very great when it comes to avoiding hot glue dribbles at the end of a job.

Stanley Heavy-duty glue gun


Stanley's gun is half Bosch's price and does all the same stuff, but with a much cheaper feeling when you heft it. However it's very nice and effective, heating up fast and being easy to keep.

It's not a lot of a looker, but about most of the weapons on this list, you'll find that, but Stanley has managed to make a very low-cost alternative that doesn't skimp when it comes to glueing actually.

CCbetter Mini Hot Melt Gun


Another smart choice is this CCbetter gun, which heats up in about five minutes and has a handy on-off switch on the handle of the actual gun. When the glue is ready to be applied, the LED light will let you know, while the small metal stand often ensures you can position it down without worrying about a fire hazard or leakage.

It's still good and cheap, but it's only available in the US for the most part, so it's not going to be one for our UK readers.

Dremel 930


This Dremel glue gun is a bit of a miniature model, using 7mm sticks instead of the more traditional 11mm models, and also comes with a variety of coloured sticks to allow your adhesive work to get a little more imaginative.

It is a solid enough model, heating in the usual range of about five minutes, aside from that nice little note, and will get most of your jobs done without too much hassle.

Surebonder PRO2-220 220


Our last choice is pretty much reserved for those who are either embarking on a project that they know will require substantial adhesive work, or professionals who are searching for a genuinely reliable product to use for ages to come. That's an example of how much more costly the Surebonder model is.

To justify that price, it has several improvements, including adjustable temperature settings, and the ability to change how much glue the nozzle releases when in use. Basically, it's an industrial model, which means the standard of the design is super good, and you should expect it to stand the test of time. You'd think so of course, given its price, too.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
