This glue gun does the job well. It is inexpensive and you get a little more than you pay for. The fit and finish aren't. perfect but it works just fine. If you are in the Makita ecosystem, take a look at this little tool.

This glue gun is not made well. I knew it was going to be small, but the quality on this is sub par.

When you need a glue gun, this is it, cordless powerful easy to use and has everything you need.Gluing boxes plastics or other parts together you need a quality tool to do it, this is it, a great value in a compact design.

This is a great little tool. Careful, it heats up to 200C the first time on, and the glue comes out really thin and takes forever to cool. First time out set it for about 150C and go from there.Uses the same batteries as my Makita tools. So handy to not have to worry about a cord for fixes anywhere around the house, in the garage.

This review is for the blue MONVICT 100W Cordless Glue Gun for Makita 18V Battery, Upgraded Digital Temperature Adjustable Handheld Electric Power Full Size Heavy Duty Hot Glue Gun with 10 Glue Sticks (Tools only)I have several glue guns but this is the first adjustable temperature model I’ve used.I started out at 100 degrees, let it warm up a few minutes and squeezed out a drop of glue. It didn’t slump, or spread out, it just sat there in a ball. Too cold. Turned up the temperature to 150 degrees and waited a few minutes and tried again. This time the ball of glue dropped and spread out just the way I wanted. Not too thick, not too runny. Sometimes, I need the glue runny, to soak into fabric, and sometimes I just want a drop of glue to tack a wire in place temporarily. This gun makes these things easy to do.This gun does work with my Makita batteries, but it also works with the generic power tool batteries based on the Makita design. I posted a picture showing two of the generic power tool batteries next to a knock-off Makita battery. These batteries all work in this glue gun.

I was a bit apprehensive about a few things like batter life, trigger comfort and temp control granularity, but after several long days of use: very happy. This glue gun uses Makita batteries, w/5Ahr batt lasting 2 days at 110C (maybe more; I recharged). The long trigger is comfortable and gives good flow control. I can fit three fingers along the trigger, which has a nice shape and a small ergonomic curl at the end that keeps your "ring" finger in place. Then handle incorporates a softer plastic/rubber with some texture for improved grip. The tip is fairly precise, so you're not squeezing out too much at once. The materials seem solid, including a brass nozzle. The digital control allows for precise increments in temp - I was impressed by this, believing it would not allow for single degree (celcius) control: it does. The temp control actually seems to work. Using it for glueing (plastic, 0.75, 1.0 & 1.7mm) fiber optic strands to the back of a panel proved it for me. At 100C, the glue was a bit cool, slow and not as sticky. At 120C the glue would begin to melt the small strands. At 110, Goldilocks, then up to 115C and the fibers would bend a bit too much, but not terrible. You get 1-degree C control. Too great a force is required to push in the power switch. A 3-4 second hold time is required to engage, which is great, but it doesn't see the pressure unless you apply a lot of force. Sometimes I need to use my thumb nail to push it so that it recognizes contact. That's bad, since the plastic covering this microswitch will inevidably become torn should I keep up the practice. Strange, the temp + - buttons are not even close to that level of finicky.Pros: long battery life, temp control, glue control, comfortCons: battery housing tolerances were tight as new, seem to accept the battery easier now after a few replacements, power button - not great.

Heats up just as quickly as my small, plug-in craft glue gun, but delivers a much thinner & smoother bead of glue. And the tool stands up on its own! No longer need to prop up the little one in a cardboard box, so that's a really big plus. I like the adjustable temp so I can use with different sticks. Haven't had any issues with dripping between uses but I've only just started using it. Overall very impressed and happy with this gadget

My previous glue gun was a $3 model from Michaels (corded, of course). I hated it. Hoo boy, was I in for a treat. This gun costs 10 times more, but is 100 times more useful:* No need to be tethered to an outlet, so I can take it anywhere for on-site repairs* No cords to get in the way, which really grinds my gears when crafting/building* Adjustable temps up to 392ºF means it can handle both low-temp (crafts) and high-temp (Serious Business™) glue sticks, as well as specialty glues with specific temps (yep, there's a whole world of hot glue sticks out there for bonding low-energy plastics, UV resistance and so on, to say nothing of the obligatory glitter glues and bougie wax sealing sticks)* Adjustable temps also means I can choose a temp within the range for my glue that makes the glue viscosity just right for me - thick enough for me to control and to set quickly, thin enough to feed easily and evenly without waste. I can even adjust it on the fly. With practice, I can even gain enough finesse to manipulate the permanence of the bond by manipulating the temp (colder glue bonds less, making it perfect for temporary bonds that remove cleanly, e.g. holding up a board while I screw it in)* Separate power button; doesn't start heating as soon as it's plugged in, which is a huge pain, especially if there's a glue bead at the tip that can drip when it heats up* Stands up by itself thanks for the weight of the battery in the bottom, so no need for a stand to keep the hot tip off of surfaces and out of the way* Has a display that shows the current temp so I know how close it is to being preheated, and what temp it's on right now for confirmation* Takes thicker, full-size 0.43"/12mm glue sticks, not just mini, craft-sized 0.28"/7mm sticks (although the resulting bead is still nice and thin), so I have more glue stick options* The tip/nozzle is removable and uses standard M12-1.25 threads, so you can buy other tips with specific properties, e.g. extra long nozzles to reach tight spaces, a flat paddle opening to spread a wide sheet of glue, or smaller/larger openings. If my eyeballing is correct, the included tip has a 3mm opening, but I might get a 2mm tip so I can dispense less glue for light-duty projects and save on glue. Don't scoff; it adds up if you find yourself gluing 100 cardboard boxes, which is an actual project on my list.* The included tip has a helpfully skinny shaft that doesn't get in the way like the standard cone-shaped tip on my cheap gun. You do have to remove the rubber sleeve around the tip, which is only friction-fit around the hex nut.* Long trigger that provides much more precision and comfort than the stubby trigger on the $3 gun.* Lightweight enough for extended craft/DIY sessions. The battery adds way more weight than the gun itself.* Comes with a bunch of starter glue sticks.* Only a few bucks more than the models without adjustable temps AND a temp display, but so much more usefulNot a lot of complaints, but I can think of a few imperfections:* Preheating isn't super fast. Apparently the more expensive guns preheat faster. But it shows the current temp while preheating, which goes a LONG way towards calming my impatience. I timed the preheating on this gun; it takes about 1.5 seconds/degree, so going from 60º to 200º is almost 4 minutes. I can easily occupy myself for 4 minutes with all the other project prep I will no doubt have. Not something I'd pay extra $$$ for, though I'm sure it's worth it for people who use hot glue all day long. Also the included sticks are usable at 160º; no need for full preheating, although hotter glue gives you more working time. I'm learning that the longer the bead I expect to lay down, the hotter the glue should be so that the beginning remains hot by the end of the bead.* Apparently there are such things as "drip-controlled precision tip that prevents glue from dripping", to quote Dremel's website. The tip on this gun appears not to be one of those, because it does drip, so I have to remember to wipe it clean on the workpiece before setting it down* The trigger, while much longer and more ergonomic than my craptastic Michaels gun, seems flimsy. I'm a bit worried about breaking it on some overly thick or inadequately preheated glue (the most likely scenario for my impatient self). Making a mental note not to rush the preheating…* According to Project Farm, who made a YouTube video comparing 10 glue guns, including one Makita knockoff very similar to this one, that one puts down the *least* glue per trigger squeeze, which is apparently a Bad Thing™ because resetting the trigger = a gap in the glue line. I can't verify his testing because I don't have a scale accurate to 0.01 as he does. Also for my uses, a gap in the glue line isn't a huge deal. I get about 6" of glue bead per trigger squeeze.If you're like me and didn't know much about the exciting whole wide world of hot glue, I highly recommend searching YouTube for "hot glue hacks" (and "hot glue woodworking" if you're also a woodworker like me). This is going to make my shop life so much better.In summary, this is an excellent use of $35 and a great addition to your Makita collection, even compared to other knockoff Makita hot glue guns.
