Dremel 1200-01 Glue Gun Kit

by Dremel

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Many glue guns get the job done for serious crafters and DIY'ers, but only the Dremel 1200 Glue Gun has taken the hassle out of this popular tool. The anti-drip tip of the Dremel Glue Gun reduces glue drip for a cleaner work area and wastes less glue. The silicone cover surrounding the tip protects against accidental burns. Red and green LED lights tell you when the Dremel 1200 Glue Gun is "ON" and "Ready-to-use"...taking the guesswork out of ideal temperature. Depending on your project and glue type, you can select from two temperature settings with the Dual Temperature switch plus a separate On/Off switch so you won't have to unplug the glue gun to turn it off. Dremel has also made this glue gun more comfortable to use with a soft-grip handle and extended three finger trigger which needs less effort to release the glue. To keep your work area safer, the kickstand and wide base prevent the glue gun from accidentally tipping over.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Designed Glue Gun, January 3, 2009

I frequently use glue guns in my work and searched and searched for one that was well designed - my search is over now that I have found the Dremel. This was obviously user-designed.

The features I was looking for were:

1) Stability - most glue guns have wimpy wire stands and easily tip over. The Dremel has a large, flat 'heel' and large plastic 'kick-stand' that keep the gun from tipping over. The stand locks into position against the body of the gun when not in use and is easily released with a push of a button. Also, the cord is well located and very flexible which contributes to the stability.

2) Drip-less - As others have mentioned, it is not 100% drip-less, but mine has very minimal dripping - less than others I've used. Also, it's important to read the instructions. The drip-less feature is only activated when the stand is in the down position. If you lay the gun on it's side with the stand up it will drip a lot - you have to put the stand down to decrease the flow of glue.

3) On/Off switch - This is the only glue gun I've found that has an on/off switch. It is nice not to have to pull the plug between uses.

4) Indicator lights. This is a nice touch.

Even though this is not a mini glue gun, it is light weight and very trim, making it very comfortable to handle. Plus there are three tips for different applications and they are very easy to change.

Oh...did I mention the price? I would have paid twice the amount for the quality this product offers - but happy I didn't have to!

Thanks Dremel for putting so much thought into the design of this glue gun!

I bought 2 of these on Amazon. This is the best glue gun ever made. Used every day for a year and still working fine. Buy this product,You will not go wrong. ALL glue guns drip a little. Heat melts glue, I get it. Less than $25 with FREE shipping. How can you go wrong. Take care, Gary
