Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dremel 1200-01 Glue Gun Kit

Customer Review: Drip A-Lot
Summary: 1 Stars

The anti drip feature doesn't really work at all. I bought it to replace my old Stanley GR25, which I'm going back to. Even when the Dremel 1200 is use as directed, gobs of glue continue to pour out and makes a mess of the project. The old Stanley stopped instantly with no residue drip.

Customer Review: Drip...drip...drip!!!
Summary: 2 Stars

It's a leaker...I need to keep the spout over a small container or it drips all over everything.

Customer Review: Everything a glue gun should be...
Summary: 5 Stars

Over the years I've had several glue guns, from the $4.99 ones to larger $15 models, but none of them come close to what the Dremel has to offer.

1) It feels sturdy and has a nice flat surface below the cord to keep it upright plus a one-finger release of the stand on the front

2) It has 2 temperature settings. I can see "low" being handy for arts and crafts, but for a good bond on plastic "high" is perfect. Once glued the sticks are really well bonded, unlike some of the cheaper models

3) Several glue tips are included, for different styles of work

4) A nice large trigger makes pushing the sticks through easy work

Some minor cons; the "anti drip" feature doesn't really work, you'll still get some dripping so make sure the tip is over something to catch the glue. On "high" it takes around 6 minutes to heat up, which is pretty long, but like I said before; hot glue bonds better.

All in all a very nice kit for a low price, save yourself the hassle of a bad glue gun and get this one. It'll last for years.

Customer Review: Good features in a VERY wasteful glue gun
Summary: 2 Stars

I purchased this glue gun after it was featured on the Martha Stewart Show and I was impressed with the following features: on-off button didn't require unplugging, lighted tip, dual-temp, LED-ready light, pop-out stand, stands upright steadily, large trigger, sturdy feel of the gun, silicone tip to prevent burns, and 3 different tips. Unfortunately, after releasing the trigger, the glue continues to flow from the tip. Some drip is typical of most glue guns however, this gun really releases a lot of extra glue. (I've posted the red pictures above to illustrate this.) At first, I thought perhaps it was the glue stick or the temperature setting, but three different brands yielded the same "super-drip" at either heat setting. This unfortunately was a deal-breaker because it is a VERY WASTEFUL and extremely messy.
