MellifCordless Hot Glue Gun Compatible with Milwaukee 18V Battery, Handheld Electric Power Glue Gun Full Size for Arts & Crafts & DIY with 20 0.43" Glue Sticks (Tool Only)

I purchased this item for my mother since she likes to do arts and crafts, especially for Christmas. It’s made it a lot easier for her to get those crafts done. The cordless design doesn’t limit her work area to an outlet, like this cheaper ones that you can buy off the shelf. And the Milwaukee batteries fit perfectly in this thing. It does burn through the charge on the batteries but that’s a nonissue, it’s simply a byproduct of the cordless design and well worth the benefit of being cordless. Besides, so long as you have a charger for the battery nearby, you won’t be waiting long between uses.It’s a nonissue since she’s never actually had to use the entire battery up for one project since the thing heats up quickly (within a few minutes) and reliably dispenses the glue at a very controllable, and consistent, rate. This means she can use it very easily.I’d definitely recommend this product. Especially if you’ve wanna make someone’s life a little tiny bit easier.Thanks for making such a great product!

If you have Milwaukee M18 tools/batteries and want a decent hot glue gun this is what you are looking for. I am amazed that the big power tool brands have not jumped on this market. However that has left it open to others to fill the void and in this case they have done so quite well.First off contrary to what others have reported this does have low voltage cutoff or protection for the battery (or at least mine does). There is a small circuit board in the handle that is in series with the heating element and testing with a variable voltage power supply shows that it shuts the glue gun down around 14 volts. I also let it run a 2.0 battery down and it shut off shortly after the last bar on the battery gauge started to blink indicating the battery was almost empty. At the cutoff if the battery is in good condition and healthy 14 volts overall corresponds to an individual cell voltage of 2.8 volts. This is in line with 2.7 volts per cell being as low as you normally want to go for modern power tool batteries. There is a slim possibility that if your battery is not in good condition and one of the cells is considerably weaker than the rest it may run out of power early and still have the overall pack voltage high enough that the glue gun does not shut off, thus possibly damaging the pack further. However if that happens the battery pack was probably not going to last much longer anyways.I did some additional testing of both the tip temperature and power consumption. The glue gun uses a PTC type heating element which heats up reasonably quickly. It took around 6-7 minutes to warm up enough to use high temp sticks and takes 20-30 to cool down to the point where I would be willing to pack it back up. The max temperature at the tip was about 325 which is plenty hot for high temp sticks. It does drop a bit if you run a large amount of glue through quickly. As it is a PTC type heater its power consumption rapidly drops off as it warms up. It only draws near 100 watts briefly when it is turned on and is still cold, settling down to less than 20 watts after 7 minutes. This is how almost all modern consumer grade glue guns operate and it works out quite well when running off a battery pack like this glue gun does. Once up to temp the power consumption is low enough that you can get usable run time on even a 2.0 battery. Personally I will probably use it with 5.0 batteries and do not expect to have any issues with run time.Overall it is quite impressive for the cost and a worthwhile purchase if you already have Milwaukee M18 tools and batteries. The mechanical construction is decent and the performance is on par with a corded 100 watt class consumer grade hot glue gun. It's not going to beat a higher wattage commercial grade hot glue gun.

What I like most is when finished gluing there's no string bits hanging off once you wipe that tip that's it no sting hanging off which is great makes it nice a clean to operate and no cord so you can glue anywhere.

i’ve used this thing for a couple months now and it’s the best glue gun i’ve ever had. works really good with the 5.0ah m18 battery for long use.. super easy to swap them out just like a drill or impact. 1000% recommend this

works very good used it alotI recommand it
