I’m not going to lie, this is nifty, I’ve got teachers from down the hall borrowing this bad boy. It’s not even heavy like some might think. I use it with a ryobi battery and the long glue stick so I can get my job done quicker. It’s gets plenty hot quickly, and I can stand on a ladder without running an extension cord. I haven’t experienced the battery dying yet but I did accidentally switch it off unknowingly. Best advice buy an extra battery to swap out. Read more
Super convenient to use, just plug in a Ryobi 18v battery and you are gluing in minutes. Heats up quickly. Note that you will need to buy the glue sticks that work with this as they are thicker than my other wired glue gun. Read more
Finally, a cordless glue gun. And it works with an interchangeable battery charging system I already have, it's half the price of the battery manufacturer's model, is lightweight, warms up in under 5 minutes, claims to run for over 3 hours, and has an off switch. USA-based small business, products made in China, Surebonder also offers specialty nozzles. The only thing missing is a temperature switch. Read more
I like everything about this cordless glue gun. I use it with my Ryobi battery (not included). Heats quickly, can use all temp glue sticks, precision tip. It is a bit bulky with the battery but I don’t find that to be an issue for me. When the battery pack is inserted you can stand the glue gun up with zero dripping. This is my go to glue gun, no more cords for me. Read more
I have several Ryobi 18 volt power tools. So I thought I would give this one try. Never used a glue gun before so I was in the blind. The insert panels of all of my kitchen cabinets were getting loose (that's another story) and would rattle when they were closed. I glued the insert panels all around the frame of the door from the inside. It was kinda hard to get a solid continuous bead, but that was probably just me. Remember... I'm a first timer. But the gun worked as advertised. Heated up quick and cooled down nicely. It dripped a little, but I think that was just the nature of the beast until it cooled down. So if you already have Ryobi 18 volt power tools with batteries and charger and you don't like messin' with power cords, then this is the tool for you. The 10" glue sticks are convenient, but the 4" ones work just as good, just gotta insert them more often. Right now the doors don't rattle, but we'll see if they stay that way......... Read more

I have several Ryobi tools but decided to buy this cheaper glue gun. It works great and so far no problems. Saved a lot of money buying this Sure Bonder instead of the Ryobi gun. My Ryobi batteries work perfectly on my Sure Bonder. Read more
This is a really great high temperature cordless glue gun. As others have mentioned, it heats up in about 5 minutes (or even less). I would comment on a few things that I didn't see mentioned. It is a professional item and this has some subtle but very useful implications: * Nozzles are replaceable -- you can fit any Surebonder Pro nozzle and they come with variety of different shapes * Protection from burning yourself -- there is this rubber thing on top of the nozzle so it is actually difficult to get burned. Never got burned once. * It is full high temp pro-gun: you can use High-Temp Acrylic glue sticks that require slightly higher temperatures than regular high-temp glue sticks (but supposedly bond better) * The item itself is very light actually. Most of the final weight comes from the battery. - even with the battery attached it is MUCH lighter than a comparable size drill or impact wrench And of course, the main thing: * it is completely portable! It is amazing how much difference that makes. A nice addition to anyone's Ryobi toolkit. Highly recommended! Read more
