Surebonder Dual Temp Glue Gun-Black

Item is 110v and as such unsuitable for UK or Europe without buying a 240v - 110v transformer. This information wasn't shown on the listing or the photo of the packaging. Seller only prepared to refund if I paid for return postage, something I was not prepared to do. Fortunately Amazon A-Z refund system gave me a refund, thanks Amazon!

Well, before ordering this unit, I carefully tried to read all the details from the package, in the hope that any product specifics would stick out, an for me, be able to make the right desicion, whether bying it or not... Apparently, this product is so badly described from the retail store, that I failed to know, that this unit is made for the 120 voltage market, and, furthermore, I had to guess , which size, the glue sticks it uses - and I guessed wrong... This device is for the 120 voltage market (USA) and not for the European 230 voltage - I had to buy a transformer, which cost more than the device itself (kr. 250 dkk) - and now I have to buy another load of glue sticks, in the correct 11 mm diameter. Be very much aware of these specifications when deciding to buy or not - also, the retailer and the company should do more to inform people, writing the info on the package.

I didn't like anything about it as first off its 110v which was not disclosed on advert, secondly its an American type plug which was also not disclosed on advert, and finally although I can return it at my expense which will cost me twice as much to return with no guarantee of a full refund because to open the package you have to cut the bubble pack

This item may be amazing! But i can not tell you that yet as I am unable to use it at this time! Buying from the Amazon UK site, i stupidly assumed it was from a UK seller, but although it arrived in a relatively short time I was rather annoyed it has a US 2 pin plug, and on the bottom of the handle says requires 120 V, neither of these facts are shown in the images or stated in the product description! I know need to buy a Converter to use this which will cost more than the item! I note a lot of items have no images of plugs, perhaps this warning may make UK buyers look into the products more before buying! However, an even better solution is for Amazon UK to insist any of their items sold on the UK site CLEARLY state the type of power plug fitted and the voltage required!

This product arrived with a USA plug, this is a different voltage to UK. I have been advised that this makes it unsafe to use in UK with an adapter and is a potential fire risk

I am going to share my long journey of hot glue gun research. Sounds weird, but working with paper and detailed paper models requires a decent glue gun. Iv'e tried quite a few so far. The first gun was the Surebonder mini 195-F. I picked it for the small size and small tip. It did a good job, the stand was crappy and kept falling off, but it worked as good as I needed it to. I completed the head section of a project with no issues. the problem with the stand on the mini, is it is plastic, and falls right off. This resulted in the gun falling off my desk, and breaking the tip, so now, i had to get a anew glue gun only weeks after purchasing. I was mad, so I ventured off to get another gun. For my 2nd gun, I picked the Gorilla Glue hot glue gun. Never knew they made hot glue guns, but hey, their glue is great so what could go wrong? I very quickly learned what makes a 'good hot glue gun'. The trigger was unpredictable, it clogged, back flowed, leaked, and heat was very inconsistent. It was garbage, and I returned it. Next glue gun was the SureBonder DT-360F. When i received it, it was bigger than I expected (I intended to order a new mini). The tip opening was too big. I fired up the broken glue gun (surebonder mini) and limped by, and tried the Gorilla Glue sticks, it made a huge mess. If i held the glue gun vertical, the glue would pour out the tip. The gorilla glue sticks were garbage and not high temp as advertised. Those were returned as well. I ordered the replacement tips for the large SureBonder, and the proper glue sticks and suddenly i was in gluing bliss (as if something like that could exist). I am now on my 2nd gun. the first one failed due to my own negligence and looking forward to receiving the replacement. So here is what makes this gun good: - Replacement tips mean no replacing the whole gun if you drop it - It has an 'ok' stand - heat temp is consistent, so the application is predictable. - Replacement tip means versatility, large opening or small, flat, etc, its up to you. - No glue clogs - Trigger action starts as soon as the trigger is pressed, there is no 'dead zone' where the glue unpredictably pours out - has some heft to it and dual temps for different glue types Closing notes - Glue matters... A lot. If you are experiencing leakage etc, you may be using the wrong glue. Some manufactures make glue that is best rated for their gun and temps. This really makes a difference. Get a gun where you know you can source the glue in bulk easily and for cheap. If the glue is too runny, it may not be a good match for the gun. This makes all the difference for detail work. Also, the more glue you apply, the hotter it is, since heat capacity is dependent on mass (thermal mass) the more mass (glue), the more heat energy it stores, and for longer. This makes a difference for how much time you want to have to maneuver pieces or if you decide to push down on a blob with your finger or not. Good luck, and enjoy!

Amazon.de sells an item that come to Europe from the States and is by all means a product meant for the US market. I just paid import tax that I didn't notice I was going to pay because I ordered it from Amazon.de. The voltage is 120v which is not working in the EU or at least UK and CY which uses 240v system.

Passing from a dollar store glue gun to this, it's like heaven. Having an on/off switch is wonderful.

Does a good job.
