Another of Poundland's £2 items. A miniature hot melt glue gun and a matching set of glitter loaded glue sticks (also £2). Let's test it and then take it to bits.
A fairly typical miniature glue gun rated at 10W.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

I always thought the silicone tip was because the glue won't stick to it
I left these on for 72 hours when i wasnt home i came home to a goop of glue and the gun survived, when i put new tubes of glue in it it was probably the strongest shade of amber on earth
Our British plug is the "Best in the World"!
I had one these worked for great for while but pluged in one day and bang.
I spent a lot of my childhood fitting plugs onto flex leads for my aunts and uncles in the UK. Things did not come with plugs on them in the old days.
Looks like an AM-TECH 10W and internals seem better than the Aldi or Lidl one I had for 15 yr+ but eventually the plastic triggery bit was no good.
I think that was the 11mm sticks though, will need to go and measure the remaining sticks I have. This must be 7mm.
I'm thinking of getting an AMTECH 35-80W on offer for just £12 a.t.m 11mm perhaps a little better than this but this really looks fantastic for no money.
I have had three of these modellers size glue guns and the only real fault is that after about five years the trigger assembly that you showed so well just collapses one day when you most need it and the whole thing is knackered. I used mine to glue the solar powered lights up around the garden.👍👍👍
I had few glueguns in my life. Only one blew up. It was heating started making sparky sounds and bang. Good times
Had one of these and it lasted about a year before popping. Wasn't particularly violent but it did leave a burn mark on the surface it was on. Kind of a pain. But I can't complain for poundland prices.
Most orange tips like that are typically used for safety if some kid wanted to run around with it acting like a gun the police or whoever will be able to notice it's not really a gun. I'm assuming that's what their idea was.
Just for your info Clive, product do not have to comply with Standards but they MUST comply with the relevant Regulations now in force in the UK. Specified "Designated" Standards may be used to show a "Presumption of Conformity" with given appropriate Regulations.
I feel like giving me the power to glue just about anything to everything could be a good bad idea.
