YIHUA 960-V Portable Plastic Welding Kit Hot Stapler with LED Light, 200 Hot Staples, Assistive Cutter for Plastic Crack Repair, Car Bumper Repair, Gas Tank Plastic Repair, Handy Tool for Car Dash

This is a perfect product to avoid Frankensteining with zip ties. I wish this product was available back when I used to Frankenstein motocross plastic after crashing.

Love this thing, have used it several times on all different types of plastics.

I ordered this to be able to learn how temporary breaks in plastic. It comes with good instructions. I was surprised at how fast it would heat the staples and melt the plastic, so you must be careful, especially with thin plastic. I look forward it using this more after I finish my remodel. My kids are older now so I don't have a lot of plastic kid toys around to practice on. The only thing missing was a better storage box other than the box it was shipped in.

Takes a while to heat but does the job

Buying this was cheaper than replacing my trashcan. Very solid build. I have a decent soldering and hot air station from same company. I used staples in low density polyethylene and heated up super fast to sink in. Will make quick work of anything. The snips that come with it, throw them right in the trash. This is an amazing value.

I liked that I fixed automotive components that I would have otherwise had to replace.

excellent gun repair i’m happy whit the results easy to used and for the money 💰 can bit it 👍

Fairly easy to use, very fast to heat up. Built in LED light really helps my tired, old eyes when working in dimly lit areas. The short video in the ad is self explanatory on how to use it, please watch it. I'm sure there are plenty of other youtube videos to spark your creativity. You simply insert the metal staples into the 2 barrels, squeeze the trigger to heat the staples. Make sure the staple the red hot so that it melts into the plastic material in 1 fell swoop. Release the trigger as you approach the end point to make sure you don't go out the other side. Wait for it to sufficiently cool before pulling the gun away from the staple. Once the plastic has completely cooled and the staple(s) is stable, cut the protruding ends with a wire cutter and sand it down to smooth if necessary. If you're a belt and suspender kind of guy, I would consider epoxy glue to supplement and increase rigidity & stability.
