A glue gun can be a friend in the right circumstances. Hot glue guns are a convenient, strong and safe way to join objects together, whether you’re working on a craft, repairing household goods, or doing simple wirework. Ryobi is a great brand to choose because it offers a variety of tools to suit your needs. Ryobi glue guns are popular among DIYers and craftspeople, even though they’re not as well-known as the brand’s heavy-duty power tool line. Some have described the tool as “a game changer”. These tools are designed to be efficient and long-lasting, just like other Ryobi products. Ryobi’s glue guns are cordless, unlike many other traditional glue guns. They run on the 18V ONE+ batteries that are shared by all manufacturers. This allows you to work anywhere and is also easier to store. This design is unique among hot glue gun designs. The vertical design not only gives users a comfortable and ergonomically-conscious handle to hold onto during jobs, but also prevents glue from spilling or burning nearby surfaces.

Ryobi offers four different glue guns, each with a different size, design and task. It is important to know about each one so you can make an informed choice and choose the tool that suits your needs.
Ryobi 18V ONE+ compact glue gun
Ryobi’s 18V ONE+ compact glue gun is not that different from a standard mini-glue gun at first glance. These handy tools are the smallest in the Ryobi lineup, but they still deliver the quality you would expect from a Ryobi tool, making them an essential for any craft enthusiast.

The compact glue gun, as its name suggests, is Ryobi’s smallest glue gun. It only works with 5/16″ glue sticks. The compact line is also battery-powered, like the rest Ryobi glue guns. The main difference is that the battery does not need to be attached while using this compact glue gun. It charges in a larger base which contains the 18V batteries and can be used independently for five minutes. This allows the glue gun to be carried easily and shaped to fit into small crevices and corners. This glue gun is perfect for smaller art and repair projects that require precision and delicate handling. This base has an extended tray that will catch glue drops to keep your work area clean. Home Depot sells the compact glue gun either as a standalone [for $24.97]or in a kit [for $69.97]that includes a 1.5 Ah battery and charger.

Ryobi 18V ONE Dual-Temperature Gluegun
Ryobi 18V ONE+ dual temperature glue gun is the most impressive Ryobi glue gun option. This glue gun is almost identical to the full-size model. The only difference is the dual temperature switch located on the side of the tool. The “dual” is not just an exaggeration. The tool’s switch allows it to be switched from a low temperature of 248 degrees Fahrenheit up to a high temperature of 320 degree Fahrenheit. This allows you to be more flexible when working on a project. You can use the lower setting for lighter materials like foams and papers, while the high setting is for heavier items.

The glue pen’s unique shape is what makes it stand out from other glue guns. It also affects the way it works. A glue pen uses a sliding lever instead of a trigger mechanism to release glue. This allows for a high level of control, making it an ideal tool for work that demands a high degree of precision. The glue pen uses 5/16-inch glue stick just like the compact glue gun. It is also powered by batteries, but instead of using large 18V batteries it uses a small USB-powered Lithium battery. The rapid heat mode takes only 30 seconds to activate. These glue guns come with a stand that has a drip tray for easy cleaning. Home Depotsells this glue gun in a kit that includes a USB charger, battery and stand for $49.97.
