The 7mm mini guns are ideal for detailed craft work, gift wrapping and small repairs. The larger 11mm guns deliver more glue and are better suited to regular use, bigger decorations and larger surfaces. Make sure you order the matching size of glue sticks.

The Hobby models are a good-value choice for occasional crafting and everyday shop jobs. The Pro models are better suited to makers and businesses expecting more regular use. The range includes 30W mini guns and larger 80W or 80–150W models

Almost every gift shop finds a use for one. They are handy for repairing displays, attaching decorations, securing packaging, floristry, window dressing and fixing those little things that seem to break every day. Hot-melt glue is commonly used on materials such as wood, fabric, leather, rubber and many craft materials, although a small test is always sensible.

Always follow the instructions supplied. Use the gun on a stable, non-flammable surface, never touch the hot nozzle or molten glue, and do not leave it unattended while plugged in. Unplug it after use and allow it to cool completely before storing. Children should only use a glue gun with close adult supervision.

Yes. All the guns and glue sticks come in retail-ready packaging, so you can keep one behind the counter for everyday repairs and stock a few more for crafters, florists, makers and DIY customers.
