 "subtitle": "Battery-powered glue guns, from USB-C mini guns for crafts to 100 W full-size guns that run on DeWalt and Ryobi packs, ranked from live Amazon data.",
 "intro": "A cordless glue gun goes where an extension cord won't: up a ladder, out to the garage, or around a classroom table. They come in two kinds. Mini guns have a built-in battery, charge over USB-C and take 0.27-0.28 inch sticks for crafts. Full-size guns take 0.43 inch sticks, push far more glue, and usually run on a tool battery you already own. We ranked 10 best-sellers on rating, review volume and features (temperature control, full-size sticks, a battery in the box and sticks included). Prices run from about $26 to $60.",

   "q": "Built-in battery or tool battery?",
   "a": "Built-in battery guns charge over USB-C and come ready to use, but when the battery wears out the gun is done. Tool-battery guns (DeWalt 20V, Milwaukee 18V, Ryobi 18V) are sold without a battery, cost less if you already own the packs, and a bigger pack runs them longer."
  },
  {
   "q": "How long does a cordless glue gun take to heat up?",
   "a": "Small USB-C mini guns quote 15 to 90 seconds. 100 W full-size guns on tool batteries quote about 2 to 5 minutes, and the 60 W Surebonder quotes 5 to 6. Check the figure on the listing if you glue in short bursts."
  },
  {
   "q": "Do I need temperature control?",
   "a": "Only if you glue a mix of materials. Low heat is gentler on foam, fabric and balloons; high heat bonds wood, metal and plastic better. The WORKPRO, Liumai, MONVICT DeWalt and RYOBI guns on this list let you choose; the rest run at one temperature."
  },
  {
   "q": "Will a 'compatible with DeWalt' glue gun damage my battery?",
   "a": "Most of the tool-battery guns here are made by third parties to fit DeWalt or Ryobi packs, and none of those is made or backed by the tool brand. Some, like the Mellif, add a low-voltage cutoff that stops the gun before it over-drains the pack. Look for that on the listing."
