Product Description
Product Description
Porcelain dolls, steam locomotives, old cars... People’s fondness for collector’s items make gluing an everyday job, especially when there are children around. There is always something to repair, fit, fix or make. This Bosch PKP 18 E glue gun makes that easier than ever before. It is easy to use and joins virtually all materials permanently and securely. The easy-to-operate trigger enables you to achieve fine glue channels--ideal for laying cables, fitting decorative strips or even performing sealing and smaller grouting jobs as well as many other jobs in and around the home. Gluing has never been so easy.
Bosch invented the Constant-Electronic technology to achieve perfect gluing results for precise as well as large-area applications. Due to this technology, heating elements are electronically controlled so that glue is applied with a constant and optimal working temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. Hence, items are attached with an even glue strip for a lasting connection. With the delivered extra-long nozzle, even fiddly jobs in hard-to-reach areas are completed easily. Thanks to the gluing capacity of up to 20 g/min, users work not just with perfect finishing, but also extremely quickly. Thanks to this technology, a heating time of just 7 minutes means users can start working with the Bosch PKP 18 E immediately.
The PKP 18 E's mechanical feed system ensures sensitive metering and targeted, rapid application. In addition, it also avoids dripping of glue to let the user work precisely and cleanly. For interruptions, Bosch equipped the glue gun with a stable wire stand making it safe to set the tool down without dripping.

This Bosch glue gun is very reasonably priced, obviously from this big name brand you get fantastic build quality so it should last for years and years, the trigger is very strong so won't snap easily like most budget glue guns.
When using the glue gun, it heats quite quickly usually around 4-6 mins. Once heated you can unplug it from the socket to use further away from the wall socket for around another 6-10 minutes depending on the room or outdoor temperature before having to heat for a bit longer.
The long nozzle provides you with accurate gluing while also disbursing a very decent amount of glue quickly if needed, other nozzles can be obtained through Bosch if you required a standard nozzle (I don't think there would be any need to though as the supplied one is very versitile).
The glue gun can be left on for a very long time before the nozzle will start to drip with glue (it's a very small amount though), but the non-drip mechanism works a heck of a lot better than any other glue gun I have previously owned and used.
The only downside to the glue gun and is the reason for the loss a 5 star rating is it has no status light at all, so you can't see if it is on or not which can be annoying if your plug socket is hidden from view.
Overall a great product, certainly the best glue gun I have used by a country mile! and you can definatly feel it has been built to last. Highly recommended !

Bought a hot glue gun a few years ago. It delivered luke warm, stringy, thick beads of not really sticky stuff.
This is different. Lovely thin beads of hot, sticky glue! Heats up fairly quickly, good long trigger pull.
Nice.

I've only had this about a month, and usually deplore the idiots who rush to review a product when they've hardly got it out of the box, let alone used it over a period of time. However, this glue gun has worked consistently well and as long as it lasts (and Bosch products usually do) I shall be satisfied.
I'm a professional bookseller so I use a glue gun for an hour or more three or four times a week to pack my parcels of books. This model produces a thin consistent line of glue through a metal tube, ideal for my purposes. My last glue gun had a wider outlet, rubber tipped. The rubber soon perished and fell off, leaving an overlarge delivery hole. It also gave out after five years, having cost £100. At £16 or £17 the Bosch only has to last a bit more than a year and I will have had my money's worth.
The only downside with this gun, compared with the other, is that it is very light and easily knocked over. One solution, which Bosch could contemplate, would be to enlarge the wire stand in front to make it wider. This would give a bit more stability.
Overall the gun has a good feel. If I were using it for craftwork its ability to produce small dots of hot glue would be ideal, and for bigger projects it works well for me.
