10 Best Glue Guns in the UK 2021 (Bosch, Stanley and More)

This Bosch glue gun is one of the best available right now for an all-purpose bonding device that's suitable for both large and small-scale jobs. The extra-long nozzle allows you to carefully and accurately apply hot glue to a variety of surfaces, and it's super at getting into tight corners and other areas.

The nozzle also comes with a silicone sleeve to provide protection and an internal stand keeps it upright when not in use. This is an exceptionally well-made glue gun at a price that won't break the bank, making it a clear winner for us. 

Perhaps the best feature of the Voyaux hot melt glue gun is that it's built with an internal temperature regulator that keeps the glue at an optimal heat for use. The sturdy construction also means that the gun itself will withstand any bumps and scrapes and keep working for a long time. 

Although the price is low, this is a well-manufactured glue gun that provides everything you'll need if you're looking for reliability and performance. Another plus is that it comes in a sturdy case to keep it – and the 30 included glue sticks – safe, neat and tidy. 

The Bosch Gluepen is one of the most popular choices on the market and it's easy to see why. It easily fits in your grip, and as the name suggests, can be handled just like a pen. 

It's really convenient too, as it charges from a USB and the battery will give you about 30 minutes of use. Plus, despite the small size, it charges up fast and is ready to go within two minutes. This is an excellent choice for precision work around the house, whether for detailed crafting or small-area repairs. 

The Topelek 30W Hot Glue Gun is a high-temp gun that's made to be safe. The end nozzle comes with an extra-thick silicone guard to protect against burns and there are heatproof finger covers to wear while using in the package too. 

The gun heats up in about 3 minutes and uses thick 11 mm high-melt sticks to provide excellent coverage and sticking power. The inner rubber sleeve is built to prevent leaks and the stand is reinforced to keep the gun upright. It also comes with a two-year guarantee for peace of mind. 

The Sealy Professional Use glue gun uses the larger 11 mm high melt glue sticks for bonding that needs a bit extra. It heats up in less than 5 minutes and has a soft contoured grip for ease of use, as well as a detachable metal stand that easily clips to magnets inside to hold it steady when not in use.

While not strictly a cordless glue gun, after the Sealy reaches full temperature, it can be detached from its power cable and used for a couple of minutes glueing. This gun gives you the flexibility of a cordless coupled with the reliability of a mains powered variety. 

The Dremel company is synonymous with rotary drills but recently has branched out into other tools for professionals and consumers. This 930 dual temp hot glue gun is perfect for a variety of home crafting and fixing jobs, as it can switch between high and low temperatures as needed.

The Stick It! Cool Melt Glue Gun is a low-temperature slim glue gun made for safe crafting. The smooth flow action produces a steady stream of glue so you can attach card and foam easily. 

The gun is fast heating and has a comfortable grip, and the low temperature means kids can use it to make things like gift cards and poster displays with ease. You'll have to make sure you order some glue sticks along with this product, as the price above does not include any. 

This Stanley brand glue gun, like many of their products, is tough, durable and practical. This mini hot glue gun is ready to use in 60 seconds and can handle both low and high melt 7 mm glue sticks, 24 of which come included with the above price.

The Loctite company has a reputation for producing high-quality adhesives and this hot glue gun is no exception. Faster than a lot of guns on the market, this gun is ready to use within 2 minutes. It works at high temperatures to produce a steady stream of glue that will bond a variety of surfaces. 

This is a well-made, high-performance no-frills option that is suitable for many bonding jobs. However, the high temperature means it is not suitable for materials such as soft plastics, which in worth bearing in mind.

This is certainly not the cheapest glue gun on our list, but it is one of the toughest and most practical. This professional-level hot glue gun takes the larger 11 mm glue sticks and is ready to use within 3 minutes of switching on.

The high-capacity battery will give you 4 hours of work time between charges, and the entire thing is built with a tough casing meaning it can easily survive bumps and scrapes.
