Hot glue is always handy to have around. The best thing about this glue pen is the quick 15sec startup which makes it even more convenient.
Still getting used to the tool, but the only issue I've run into is when the glue stick gets low and needs another stick. Since the advance mechanism is close to the tip, its hard to determine when another stick may be needed and loading a new stick behind the old stick can be cumbersome while using.
Overall, though its a great tool... considering getting another for the house.
Very convenient to wield, great for precision gluing. Starting off the first glue stick was a bit difficult but has been working great since; no drips from the nozzle, doesn't get hot anywhere other than the tip so can be put down anywhere while turned on. Bought imported from Japan so manual in Japanese, and Japanese power adaptor for charging, but if you have a USB wall adapter lying around then you will be fine. A bit pricey but if it suits your needs perfectly then the price is well worth it.
