Glossary
Feed rate
The maximum glue flow rate that the gun can provide is, in fact, the peak performance of the tool.
In general, indicators up to 10 g / min can be attributed to low, up to 20 g / min — to medium, more than 20 g / min — to high. The larger the scale of the planned work, the higher the glue supply rate is desirable for them; on the other hand, high performance may be overkill in cases where little adhesive is required. However, if the tool is bought for simple household tasks, this indicator can be ignored.

Heating time
The average time it takes the glue gun to reach operating temperature (in models with multiple modes, it is usually indicated for the maximum temperature). A more “fast” tool allows you to significantly save time; on the other hand, rapid heating significantly affects the price and power consumption.
Sticks included
The number of glue sticks supplied with the gun.
The presence of rods allows you to use the tool "out of the box" without buying additional materials. At the same time, complete consumables, by definition, have the optimal length and diameter.

Power cord length
The length of the power cord provided in the mains powered glue gun (see "Power Source").
This parameter is usually indicated for professional models; for domestic use, it does not really matter. In general, a long cord allows you to work away from a power outlet, but can be more inconvenient if the power source is close.
