Glue Gun
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A glue gun, specifically a 40-watt glue gun, is a handheld tool designed for dispensing hot melt adhesive in a controlled and precise manner. It typically consists of a heating element powered by a 40-watt electrical system, a trigger mechanism to control the adhesive flow, and a nozzle for directing the melted glue. The glue stick, usually made of thermoplastic materials, is inserted into the gun, melted by the heating element, and then extruded through the nozzle as a liquid adhesive. This versatile tool is commonly used in various DIY projects, crafts, and home repairs due to its quick and efficient bonding capabilities. The 40-watt power rating indicates the electrical power consumed by the glue gun to heat the adhesive to its melting point.
