Worked great for a while, but suddenly stopped being able to push the stick through the gun. Was very convenient and effective while it worked.

I purchased this for my husband who always borrowed mine. He loved it!!

I am really disappointed by the Black & Decker GG500S cordless glue gun. The trigger is much too hard to depress and the control of the glue is adversely affected by that function. It is very difficult to seat it into the heating stand and take it out with one hand (which I need to do for my work). It leaves strings of glue all over the place. For the price and the reputation of the brand, I would not recommend this glue gun.

From Day 1, my gun doesn't push the glue stick through the unit. That is quite a problem. When I called B&D they told me that I had to take the unit to a service center. I asked if this was a common problem--the answer: "It is not unheard of."
The service center is not convenient to my travels so it sits. I have used it a couple times by pushing the glue stick through with a tooth pick but as you can imagine it is hard to control the project that way. It definitely gets hot, so use the same caution as you would a corded unit. It will be interesting to see if I can get it fixed.

I received this gun for Christmas and have put it to use a few times. So far, I'm very impressed. I only wish the battery kept its charge longer.
