Surebonder Glue Gun
I recently needed to refresh my craft game and update my hot glue gun. When I reach for my glue gun, I expect it to be small and mighty — and this one from Surebonder is exactly that! I find the multiple heat settings to be valuable for a range of different uses. The auto shut-off feature is a must. I couldn’t be happier with this precise and powerful glue gun. Amazon.com
