Our verdict

A cordless mini gun for crafters who want to glue away from an outlet, with quick heat up and a dock to charge on. Charge time, weight and glue stick size are missing from the listing.

Overview

A crafter or decorator who wants to glue without a cord trailing across the table gets a battery powered mini hot melt gun from Arrow. The gun charges on its own station between sessions and heats up fast, so it can go straight from dock to project.

Freedom from the cord is the reason to look at the Arrow, since the battery runs a long crafting session and the dock gives it a fixed home. Arrow lists fabric, leather and plastic among its materials, so it reaches past paper crafts. Weak points are gaps in the listing: no charge time, no temperature rating and no glue stick size, and the spec sheet even calls it corded.

Who it's for

Decorating, fabric and DIY craft work where a cord gets in the way or outlets are far from the table. People running long production sessions without breaks should weigh the battery limit first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Cordless lithium ion battery
  • Charging station included
  • Heats in one minute or less
  • Long run time per charge
Cons
  • Charge time not listed
  • Spec sheet wrongly lists corded electric
  • No temperature setting described
  • Gluing stops when the battery drains

Performance notes

Run time depends on the lithium ion battery, and the maker rates a full charge for a long gluing session before the gun must return to its station. Quick heat up means short jobs start without a long wait. Bond strength on fabric and leather depends on the glue stick used, which the listing does not specify.
