Comparing Glue Guns: Topex 42E521 vs Steinel Gluematic 3002 - Price and Performance

Question

Hello
I am trying to buy a glue gun and I do not know if it makes sense to buy an expensive (PLN 100) e.g. Steinel Gluematic 3002 or better to spend PLN 20 on e.g. Topex 42E521 and not regret it if it breaks or sticks, I know from life that sometimes it does not pay off spend several times more $ for a supposedly better one, and you can't really see such a difference in operation.
I am waiting for your advice and opinions

djpeterek · Answer

The power is Steinel and it holds for a long time after removing the plug from the socket, and Topex ... if you do not have it in the socket all the time, forget about gluing.

tomiok · Answer

Choose Steinel, you will spare yourself the nerves.

jaga134 · Answer

I have been using Steinel 3002 for about 20 years and apart from replacing the tip, because it was leaking, I couldn't fix anything else. That's why I recommend this type of device.

strusio master · Answer

You advise the more expensive, I understand, but is there such a difference in working on the 4x cheaper? Or maybe some other gun is noteworthy. (This steinel was given as an example, although I read a lot about it).
I just want to buy the best gun for PLN 100 and I do not mean that it costs PLN 99. In this range I would like to fit it, it can be a pistol for PLN 50 but worth the price. (For example, the one for PLN 100 will be only slightly better)

Qudlatyy · Answer

Steinel Gluematic 3002 only.

Anonymous · Answer

Generally speaking, this topex for PLN 20 is not only made of poor plastic, but also sticks. I would take lidlowy parkside (for PLN 50)

strusio master · Answer

And this Lidl pistol is available now, do I have to wait a year for their offer? I would like to buy it by the end of January, the best gun is max. 100 zloty.

Buddy, Steiner is a proven and reliable gun. Mine has been left open a few times overnight and works to this day. For PLN 89.00 + shipping you have a tool for years. And then it's hard to find something good at the price. Bosch green costs 119.00. And if you wish to spend that much, buy any. Rather, they are not much different.

tomiok · Answer

I would say 78 + shipment at www.tim.pl. Link with the price Rather, there is nothing to wonder about. In Castorama as much as PLN 108. It is worth buying an additional one tip .

Anonymous · Answer

In this lidlowy you have a stand and 2 additional tips in the set. But you have to wait until it's in the store

tomiok · Answer

And do you remember how much? Because I will look for it as it is in such a complete set.

My cost was 50 PLN, but the price may be slightly different.

belfegor1988 · Answer

You praise lidle - I bought it 2 years ago. What a little shit - heats up for a long time (I didn't measure it, I compare it with some crap that strangely works for a long time), the fact - it does not leak from the nozzle because there are some balls and springs in them, but the glue is at the point of screwing the nozzle into the gun . I am already taking ... how to combine again with another gasket (copper, Teflon rubber or some other).
In addition, the power cord, as a little colder in the workshop, wants to let everything from the desk. The stand attached to the set is also of questionable usefulness.

pierotez · Answer

So how with this lidl crap or wait? Do you know when he will show up? Speaking of steiner, will it be better than a dremel? Dremels have only very good reviews.

tzok · Answer

Steinel has a big advantage - simple construction. Its heater has a positive temperature coefficient of resistance, that is, as it heats up, its power decreases. Thanks to this, without the need for a thermostat - be it mechanical or electronic, it is able to maintain a stable temperature of the glue, and at the same time warm up quickly after being turned on. Bosch PKP 18E and Steinel GM 3002 are the same, the only differences are the color of the housing and BOSCH has this extended nozzle as standard. If you want a little cheaper, look for Dedra DED7552.

pierotez · Answer

I have very bad experiences with Dedra, including breaking traffic jams.

arturio111 · Answer

I have had Steinel for 25 years. I have tested others a few times with my friends, but Steinel is incomparably better. It does not burn the glue, I have left it overnight a few times and also nothing happened, so the security is also good.

romarcin · Answer

+ 9.99 shipment

pierotez · Answer

Oops! I already have Steinel and it works great . But a similar Dedra broke traffic jams and did not want to advertise. What good electronics and terrariums do you recommend?
