I LOVE my glue gun. It’s one of those tools I always appreciate when I’m using it, but don’t use it nearly as much as I have uses for it. Why? It’s kind of a hassle to round it up, plug it in to heat it, and then to deal with the inevitable drooling that it does. It’s messier to work with than it should be.
Cold Heat to the rescue. These are the same folks who gave us the instant-on soldering iron, and they’ve applied the same heating technology to glue guns, creating the Freestyle (US$30), a cordless gun that heats up in under a minute and doesn’t drip like traditional guns. I’m definitely buying one of these babies as soon as I have some mad money to blow.
