Unpopular opinion: hot glue guns from the hardware store are a total rip when the $1.25 one from Dollar Tree does the same job

I used a $1.25 hot glue gun to fix a broken garden hose adapter last weekend and it held up through three days of 90 degree sun, so why would I ever spend $15 on the same thing at Lowes again - has anyone else put a cheap glue gun through something crazy?

Hold the glue sticks from the cheap gun kept melting and dripping all over my project, so I'd rather pay for a reliable tool.

Feel you on that claire_fisher41, nothing worse than a hot mess dripping everywhere while you're trying to focus. Cheap tools just don't hold up when you need them to.
