Latest repairs include the 'flapping' sole of a pair of carpet slippers - great result; found it best to apply liberally/generously and work fast to get good adhesion. That cost me one glue stick (about 17 pence for Stanley, or about 10p for Silverline). Any excess/outflow can be neatly trimmed of with a sharp craft knife. Also repaired an exercise bench, the plastic end caps kept popping out - not any more! Be careful to avoid contact with hot glue oozzing out of a repair job. Regarding the inadequate stand, the base of the stand could be made wider/more stable by hot gluing a suitable piece of plastic to it. Original Review: Feels well made, heats up within the 3 to 6 minutes stated in the instructions, quite controllable flowrate of hot glue. The end nozzle is covered with a heat resistant thermally insulating material (maybe PTFE?) presumably to help prevent burning your hand. Dribbles a few beads of glue from the end nozzle when resting on the stand, but not excessively. Put it to use straight away to a) help secure/prevent wobble where wooden handle enters a plastic snow shovel, b) help secure/prevent wobble where wooden handle enters a broom, c) repair an RC model, d) help secure low voltage wiring inside a RC model (first tested to ensure does not damage the insulation). The declared wattage (power) is somewhat confusing. The desertcart description states 40W, however if you look at the photograph, it says 80W on the side of the gun. OK you say 40W low, 80W high .....that's what I thought. However, on the other side of the gun itself it actually states 25W? Anyway, it works well enough (I only tried it on the High Power setting). Looses one star due to the inadequate stand, which is not really wide enough to hold the gun securely in the upright position. Also the mains lead is a bit too short. Review: Great Glue Gun - I read a lot of reviews on different glue guns before ordering one and as i didn't want to spend an arm and a leg I settled for this one as being a good mid-range priced glue gun. It arrived fairly promptly, and as I knew it did not come with any glue sticks (a bit silly really) I had ordered a pack of multi glue sticks as well. It heats up pretty quickly, within about 3-4 minutes I would say, and once hot you can actually disconnect it from the mains and use it for about 5-10 minutes before it cools down again. This is of course depending on the amount of glue you need to put through it and the temperature - outdoors on a frosty day you might get a lot less time. The trigger mechanism works very well and it is easy to lightly squeeze a thin bead through the nozzle, or squirt out a big amount if that is required. I have, so far, not required to use the low temp setting, but on high it does a really good job. The flip-down stand to support the gun standing up does work in my experience. However, as the cable tends to be a little stiff a few bends on the cable might easily tip the gun over. Had the gun been heavier, or the cable more soft, this would not have been a problem.I maintain the 5 stars though as I do not see this to be a huge problem as all. Once the glue gun did drip a little bit of glue from the nozzle while left to heat up, so this might be something to look out for, and if this continues I might have to deduct a star or two, but as you want to leave the gun on a "safe" surface while heating up anyway it would not really be a huge problem either. For regular home use and DIY I can reccomend this glue gun as being really good value for th money. ## Features - Heats up quickly and bonds within 60 seconds - Offers the versatility of high and low-temperature gluing in one gun - Takes dual melt 11.3mm glue sticks for a full range of materials - Uses standard DualMelt temperature glue on both settings and hot-melt formulas on high setting - Convenient fold down stand for use between applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000OOLOT8 | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 28,372 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 48 in Glue Guns | | Colour | Yellow and Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,612) | | Date First Available | 21 Mar. 2007 | | Included Components | Heavy-Duty Glue Gun 40W 240V | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 332 g | | Item model number | 0-GR25 | | Manufacturer | Toolbanks (Kitchen) First Order Account | | Material | plastic | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | STA0GR25 | | Power Source | AC | | Product Dimensions | 26.4 x 17.6 x 6.6 cm; 332 g | | Style | Glue Gun | | Voltage | 240 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** STANLEY - **Colour:** Yellow and Black - **Item weight:** 0.33 Kilograms - **Product dimensions:** 26.4L x 17.6W x 6.6H centimetres - **Style:** Glue Gun ## Images ![Heavy-Duty Glue Gun - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FSK+8Q4XL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What size sticks does/ can it take. Does it have to be a certain size or can you get any? Need some cheap ones.and don't want to jam the machine.** A: The Dual Heat sticks made by Stanley at about Β£3.75 per pack are the only one I've used. They can fit guns between 11.3 and 12 mm diameter and are 100mm long. The glueing job should be well prepped for quick assembly as the glue has quick setting time. **Q: if you cant get proper glue tubes can any size do .? thanks** A: Correction to answer No 1: this glue Gun is precision made to use only 11.2mm diameter glue sticks - NOT 12mm! - other diameters such as 7.mm will not work and would probably bung-up the feed mechanism - 12mm sticks are not a standard item and even if they were available, do NOT use them in the Stanley glue Gun - or your patience will become 'unglued' **Q: is this a high heat glue gun?** A: It is a standard glue gun but has the ability to work at lower temperatures with the right glue sticks (eg dual-temp sticks), for working with materials likely to get damaged by high temps, or just to protect your skin **Q: is it easy to clean the tip after use?** A: Yes all you do is wipe it on a clean piece of cloth. The tip is covered in a silacone rubber heat protector (perminant), the glue doesn't appear to stick to it, so if you inadvertently left a blob of glue on the end it would simply melt the next time you switched it on. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stanley Heavy Duty Glue Gun - Good Choice *by H***E on 11 September 2012* ***UPDATED 15th September 2012*** Upgraded to 5 stars due to the versatility of glue guns in general.

First the packaging, I hate bubble packets that are impossible to open without destroying and this is one. Once you manage to get the gun out you notice the other two issues, the mains lead it very short and the flip out stand is not very stable or sturdy. The gun has to be carefully balanced against the pull of the mains lead when on the stand and can easily fall over. After that it is all good, the gun heats up quickly but stays cool at the handle and trigger end. It would be nice to have an LED to show when the optimum temperature is reached but this is approximately 3 minutes on high. There are two temperatures so lower temperature glue sticks can be used on heat sensitive materials. The trigger is smooth and accurate and the glue flows smoothly. I used 11.2 x 100mm sticks from Silverline and two of these are required to feed into the gun but this is fine for most applications and they are half the price of Stanley equivalents. Note: do not use the 7mm glue sticks as they will not work. Although not perfect this is a good quality gun and great value at the current price of less than Β£7. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stanley STA0GR25 Heavy-Duty Glue Gun - Stanley 1-GS20DT Dual Temp Glue Stick, 12mm x 101mm, Pack of 24 (Packaging may vary) - Silverline Glue Sticks 11.2 x 100 mm 50pk (698462) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/48054162-heavy-duty-glue-gun](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/48054162-heavy-duty-glue-gun) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
