The six-inch Genesis Lithium-Ion Cordless Hot Glue Gun works for those preferring a glue gun they can easily carry in a pocket or small toolbox. Though not practical for large projects or anything requiring a significant amount of glue, it’s extremely convenient for small, quick tasks.

It’s not cheap, but the light weight of the Ryobi One+ 18V Cordless Compact Hot Glue Gun Kit makes it worth the investment. It can process 100 mini-glue sticks per charge, making it useful for large projects.

The external base actually charges it when not in use, so it doesn’t need a large battery pack. The ergonomic handle gives you maximum control, and the base features an integrated drip tray, ensuring your workspace stays glue-free. For the price, I do wish it included more than three glue sticks, though!

Though this hot glue gun costs less than other cordless options, the Workpro Cordless Hot Glue Gun offers helpful features, like a large trigger and two-minute preheating time. It’s also powerful enough to provide 25 minutes of continuous gluing. It shuts down after five minutes of inactivity.

Several Amazon customer reviews cited its sturdy feel and impressive battery run time. This kit includes 20 glue sticks.
