The shape of the body and the features of holding the glue gun depend on the design.
— T-shaped. This category includes instruments of the classical form, with a pistol grip located at an angle to the body. This handle is comfortable to hold and suitable for almost all types of work, due to which it is found in the vast majority of models (in fact, because of it, glue guns originally got their name).
— Straight. A tool that has an elongated body without any pronounced handles. In some situations — for example, for delicate work or the need to reach hard-to-reach places — this shape is preferable to the T-shaped. However, in general, it is not so convenient, and therefore it has not received much distribution.
Features of the battery-powered gun.
The most widespread devices are those that were initially supplied
with a battery(built-in, less often removable). This is quite natural: such equipment allows you to use the pistol immediately after purchase. However, there are also more specific cases - tools with
2 batteries or, conversely,
no batteries included at all. In general, in terms of configuration, modern glue guns can be divided into two main types - with built-in and removable batteries; Here is a more detailed description of each of these options:
- Built-in. A battery built directly into the gun and not intended to be removed by the user. This design does not allow you to quickly replace a dead battery with a fresh one - the only option is charging, and this requires a power source and takes some time. On the other hand, built-in batteries have a number of other advantages. Firstly, they are great for compact, low-power devices, such as most modern glue guns: the battery is hidden in the handle and has virtually no effect on the dimensions. Secondly, the user does not need to have a separate charger on hand and bother with removing and installing batteries - to charge, simply connect the supplied or other suitable cable to the connector of the tool (whereas in models with removable batteries, although such a possibility occurs, it is very rare ).

- Removable. Removable batteries are used in relatively powerful and productive pistols, for which compact built-in batteries are no longer sufficient. In most cases, this power source is not inserted into the handle, but is attached to it from below - similar to how it is usually done in cordless power tools. In fact, many devices in this category are designed specifically for standard batteries for power tools from the same manufacturer. The advantages of this design are obvious: it allows you to use not only the “native” battery, but also third-party power sources. But the specific configuration of models with removable batteries may be different:
- — Absent (without battery). This option does not allow you to use the gun immediately after purchase, but it has other advantages. Firstly, you can choose the battery at your discretion; secondly, if the household already has a compatible battery (for example, from a screwdriver), you don’t have to overpay for unnecessary equipment
.
- - 1 PC. The classic package - a tool and 1 battery - makes it possible to use the device right out of the box, without the additional hassle of finding or purchasing a power source.
- - 2 pcs. Although the presence of two batteries in theory provides a number of advantages (quick replacement, the ability to charge one battery while the other is in use, a reserve in case of malfunctions, etc.), however, in practice this configuration option is practically not found in pistols for standard batteries for power tools. This is due to the fact that the mentioned advantages are not so often fundamental; and even if they are, the required number of batteries can be purchased separately, choosing them at your discretion. Therefore, models equipped with 2 batteries usually belong to compact low-power devices, and the batteries themselves are made in a standard “battery” dimensions (for example, AA) and are used not in turn, but simultaneously.
