The best hot glue guns 11mm, compared.
Top pick: SEEKONE 60/100 W glue gun, 20 sticks Best value: SEEKONE 60/100 W glue gun, 20 sticks – Next value score: 4.7 from 3,177 reviews at about £18.99. Updated 22 October 2026.
A hot glue gun 11mm melts a full-size hot-melt stick about 11 mm across and lays a bead that sets as it cools. UK shoppers buy one for repairs and DIY when a 7 mm mini gun does not lay enough glue. The bond softens if the joint gets hot, and it is not a structural or waterproof adhesive. You recognise a suitable gun by the stated stick diameter and length, by a temperature in degrees rather than wattage alone, and by whether a mains model is fit for a BS 1363 socket. Wattage is recovery speed. A high and low switch helps only when each step states a temperature. Corded hobby guns around 60 to 100 W suit a bench. A cordless 12 V gun is for work away from a socket, planned around the stated runtime. Stand, switch, case and stick count decide whether you can park a hot nozzle without pulling the plug. Those checks are set out in the [11 mm hot glue gun buying guide](/hub/fillers-adhesives-and-sprays/hot-glue-gun-11mm/sub/hot-glue-gun-11mm-buying-guide).

Question 1 of 2
Where will you use it?
Across 3,177 amazon.co.uk reviews the SEEKONE NL-233 sits at 4.7 and about £18.99, which is the largest review file in this set. It is a corded gun with a 60 W and 100 W switch, 20 sticks of 11 × 150 mm, a stainless stand, and a heat-up claim of 3–5 minutes. The listing does not give a temperature for each step. The 220°C line is a nozzle-durability claim, and the voltage field says 220 volts. Reviewers say you cannot tell which power is selected, and they mention a short stiff cable, an unstable stand, and glue strings. The included-components line lists the gun, a manual, and the sticks, and it does not list a case. The technical details name a ceramic PTC heater, a lifetime-warranty line, and an item weight of 308 g. It is the gun you open when you want that review volume at about £18.99, and you leave it if you need a temperature in degrees or a case for the shed.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the most-reviewed corded 11 mm gun in this set for mixed craft and repair, and you can work without a printed temperature.
Less suitable: You need a stated temperature, a hard case, or a lead that reaches across a wide bench.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this listing give a temperature for 60 W and 100 W?
No. It names 60 W for small projects and 100 W for large projects. The 220°C line is a nozzle-durability claim. The voltage field says 220 volts.
Does it come with a case?
The included-components line lists the gun, a manual, and 20 sticks of 11 × 150 mm. It does not list a case.
What do UK reviews say about the switch?
Reviewers say you cannot tell whether high or low is selected. They also mention a short stiff cable, an unstable stand, and glue strings.
The BEEWAY listing is a corded 100 W gun at about £22.99 with 4.7 from 3,027 reviews, 30 sticks, and a hard shell case. The title says sticks of 11.2 × 150 mm and a bullet says 11.0 × 150 mm, so both figures stay on the card. The voltage field says 230.01 volts, the closest mains figure in this set, and the power-source line says corded electric. Heat-up is claimed at 3–5 minutes. The nozzle is described as extra-long copper, with a durability line of up to 500°F, which is not a working temperature for the glue. UK reviews often praise the case and often call the wire stand short or wobbly, and stringing plus a weak stick feed also appear. At 1.1 kg it is the heaviest gun here. Choose it when the case and the long nozzle are why you would spend about £22.99, and leave it if the stand has to feel planted or you need a temperature in degrees.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a corded 100 W gun that packs into a hard case with 30 sticks for storage after the nozzle is cool.
Less suitable: You need a published temperature, a stand that reviewers call stable, or a cordless tool.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this cordless?
No. The power-source line says corded electric. The voltage field says 230.01 volts. A listing question asks if it is cordless.
What stick size does the listing give?
The title says 11.2 mm by 150 mm. A bullet says 11.0 mm by 150 mm. Both say 30 sticks.
What do UK reviews say about the stand and the case?
The hard case is often praised. Several reviews say the wire stand is short or wobbly. Stringing and a weak stick feed also appear.
The FAHEFANA gun is about £19.99 on amazon.co.uk with 4.5 from 1,316 reviews, 30 clear sticks of 11 × 150 mm, a black zip bag, and five silicone finger protectors. The title says 200 W and the technical-details line says 100 watts. A UK review reported about 195 W for a few seconds, then a lower draw, so both listing figures stay visible. Heat-up is claimed at 60–90 seconds, with an on/off switch and an LED, a pop-up stand, and a brass nozzle described with a 0.5 mm core. Some UK reviews praise the nozzle. Others report constant drips, a leak behind the orange nozzle, a short cable, or a handle that broke after one use. Weight is listed at 880 g, and no temperature in degrees is stated. It suits a box that already holds sticks and a bag, and it is a weak choice if you need one wattage number you can quote.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the sticks and a zip bag in one carton, and you will read the wattage conflict on the listing before you buy.
Less suitable: You need a single wattage figure, a hard case, or a gun with a stated temperature.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a 200 W or a 100 W gun on the listing?
The title says 200 W. The technical-details wattage line says 100 watts. A UK review reported about 195 W for a few seconds, then a lower draw.
What is in the box?
The bullets list 30 clear sticks of 11 mm by 150 mm, a black zip bag, and five silicone finger protectors. The included-components field only says glue gun.
Do the reviews mention drips?
Yes. Some UK reviews praise the nozzle. Others report constant drips, a leak behind the orange nozzle, a short cable, or a handle that broke after one use.
The WORKPRO W125272 lays an 11 × 200 mm stick on a corded 60 W or 100 W heater, and the listing is the only one in this set that states both temperatures: 165°C and 9 g/min on low, 190°C and 12 g/min on high. On amazon.co.uk it is about £15.99 with 4.5 from 142 reviews. A United Kingdom review measured about 140°C on low and 160–174°C on high, so the printed pair is a claim, not a checked nozzle. The same review notes say 100 mm sticks are too short for the feed, and drips come up often enough that a mat under the foldable stand is part of the job. The cord is listed at 1.5 m and the weight at 700 g, with heat-up claimed at 90 seconds. Plug type is not in the saved listing, so you still look for a BS 1363 plug before you trust it at a UK socket. It leads this comparison on stated temperature and price, with a review file much smaller than SEEKONE or BEEWAY.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a corded 11 mm gun with both temperatures printed, for wood or plastic repairs at a bench.
Less suitable: You need a hard case, a review file in the thousands, or a cordless gun because the socket is out of reach.
Specifications
Common questions
What temperature does this listing state?
The bullet says 165°C and 9 g/min on 60 W, and 190°C and 12 g/min on 100 W. A UK review measured about 140°C on low and 160–174°C on high.
Which glue sticks does the listing include?
Ten sticks, 11 × 200 mm. A UK review says 100 mm sticks are too short for the feed.
Does the listing say it has a stand?
Yes. The bullet says to unfold the stand. The highlight line calls it a foldable bracket. Plug type is not in the saved listing.
The cordless WORKPRO W125258 is a 12 V gun at about £32.20 with 4.4 from 79 reviews, a 2,000 mAh pack, and USB-C charging. The listing claims up to 45 minutes of continuous use, auto-off after 10 idle minutes, heat-up in 180 seconds, and an output of 12 g/min. It includes 15 sticks of 11 × 200 mm, a charging lead, and a manual, and the listed weight is 450 g. No temperature in degrees is stated, and the page says not to use the gun while it is charging. One reviewer says glue melted inside the chamber. Another says the charger did not work. Other texts report quick heat, little drip, and use away from a socket. It is the only cordless 11 mm gun in this set, so you buy it when the socket is the problem, and you do not treat the 45-minute line as a match for a 100 W mains heater with a published temperature.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You glue wreaths, a craft-club table, or a loft where the lead is the problem, and the job fits inside the stated runtime.
Less suitable: You need a long bench session, a stated temperature, or you plan to glue while the pack is on charge.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this listing include glue sticks?
Yes. The highlight says 15 sticks of 11 × 200 mm. The included-components line also lists a USB charging lead and a manual.
What runtime and heat-up does the listing claim?
Up to 45 minutes of continuous use from a 2,000 mAh pack, auto-off after 10 idle minutes, and heat-up in 180 seconds. No temperature in degrees is stated. The listing says not to use it while charging.
What faults show up in the UK reviews?
One reviewer says glue melted inside the chamber. Another says the charger did not work. Others report quick heat, little drip, and use away from a socket.
The Houshan gun is the lowest shelf price in this set at about £12.17, a corded 100 W tool with 4.2 from 55 reviews and 12 yellow sticks of 11 × 270 mm. The title pairs it with paintless dent repair and crafts, and a bullet says the sticks suit relatively hard parts on cars. One United Kingdom review says the sticks are not strong enough for a car dent, and another says the gun stops working after a while. Only five United Kingdom reviews are in the saved listing, so the 4.2 line is a thin UK sample. Heat-up is claimed at 2–3 minutes. The stand, the switch, the voltage and the plug are not stated, and the colour field says 13pcs, which is not a colour. Hot glue on this listing is not evidence of a structural panel repair. You buy the long sticks at a low price for a light dab, and you leave the dent headline on the title.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want long 11 mm sticks at the lowest price in this set for light craft or a non-structural dab.
Less suitable: You are repairing a car panel, or you want a stand, a switch, and a larger set of United Kingdom reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
What sticks come with this gun?
The title says 12 sticks of 11 mm by 270 mm. The bullet calls them yellow and says they suit relatively hard parts on cars.
Did UK reviews support the dent-repair claim?
One United Kingdom review says the sticks are not strong enough for a car dent. Another says the gun stops working after a while. Five UK reviews are in the saved listing.
What does the colour field say?
The raw colour field says 13pcs. That is not a colour. Body material is not stated. The compatible-material field says wood.
Six amazon.co.uk listings were scored on a 0–100 scale on 19 October 2026. Amazon evidence is 30 points: the star line, then review-count bands, with two points off for a repeated functional complaint and a further three when the saved listing holds fewer than 10 United Kingdom reviews. Listing clarity is 45 points: diameter, length, a temperature in degrees for each power step, consistent wattage, a heat-up claim, a stand, a switch or auto-off, and the stick count. Value is 25 points from the price rank in this set, plus a review-count bonus, with six points off when a United Kingdom review rejects the job named in the title. The highest total is the top pick. The highest value component on a different listing is the best value. This is not a laboratory test. No gun is scored as the safest or the strongest.

30%Stars on amazon.co.uk, then a review-count band. Two points come off for a repeated complaint such as drips, strings, the stand, the switch, the feed or an early failure. A further three come off when the saved listing holds fewer than 10 United Kingdom reviews.
Listing clarity

Value
25%Price rank in this set, cheapest first, plus a bonus when the review file is large. Six points come off when a United Kingdom review rejects the job named in the title. The lowest shelf price does not win that deduction.
Match the stick diameter and length, a temperature you can read, and a mains plug that fits a UK socket. Wattage is recovery speed. A case is for storage after the nozzle is cool.
An 11 mm hot glue gun melts a full-size hot-melt stick about 11 mm across and lays a bead that sets as it cools. UK shoppers use one for repairs and DIY when a 7 mm mini gun does not lay enough glue. The bond softens if the joint gets hot. It is not a structural or waterproof adhesive. Words such as wood, metal, fabric and ceramic on a listing are maker claims.
A 7 mm refill will not feed an 11 mm barrel. A thin stick can melt back. UK trade sticks sold as 12 mm are often about 11.3–11.7 mm, and fit across brands is not guaranteed. 100 mm sticks were too short for the corded WORKPRO feed.
Wattage is recovery speed. Only the corded WORKPRO prints 165°C and 190°C for the two steps, and a UK review measured lower. A 220°C or 500°F nozzle line is a durability claim. Pull the trigger after the stated heat-up, from about 60–90 seconds up to 3–5 minutes.
Hot glue softens if the joint gets hot. It is not a structural or waterproof adhesive. A UK review said the Houshan sticks were not strong enough for a car dent. Charge a lithium gun, then unplug it. Leave it off charge overnight.
The gun must be specified for about 11 mm. A 7 mm stick will not feed this barrel. UK trade sticks sold as 12 mm are often about 11.3–11.7 mm, and a thin stick can melt back in the chamber. This set includes 150 mm, 200 mm or 270 mm sticks. BEEWAY’s title says 11.2 mm and a bullet says 11.0 mm, so both figures stay visible. A UK reviewer on the corded WORKPRO said 100 mm sticks are too short for the feed. Match the chamber before you buy a bulk box of refills.
Quote degrees only when that listing states them. The corded WORKPRO states 165°C at 60 W and 190°C at 100 W. A UK review measured about 140°C on low and 160–174°C on high. SEEKONE and BEEWAY name wattage and a nozzle-durability line, not a working temperature for each step. FAHEFANA’s title says 200 W and the details line says 100 watts. A domestic mains gun needs a correctly fitted BS 1363 plug, or the conversion-plug route in regulation 35. None of these saved listings states the plug.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a corded 11 mm gun at a bench, with both temperatures printed, for wood or plastic repairs. The corded WORKPRO is the top pick at about £15.99, 4.5 from 142 reviews, with 165°C at 60 W and 190°C at 100 W on the listing. A UK review measured lower, and drips come up.
You want the most-reviewed corded 11 mm gun in this set and you can work without a printed temperature. SEEKONE is the best value at about £18.99, 4.7 from 3,177 reviews, with 20 sticks of 11 × 150 mm. Reviewers say the switch position is unclear.
The lead is the problem: a wreath, a craft table or a loft. The cordless WORKPRO is 12 V, 2,000 mAh, about £32.20, 4.4 from 79 reviews, with a claim of up to 45 minutes. The listing says not to use it while charging, and it states no temperature in degrees.
The top pick is the corded WORKPRO at about £15.99. It is the only listing in this set with a temperature for both power steps, 165°C at 60 W and 190°C at 100 W, and it is the second-lowest price. On amazon.co.uk it is 4.5 from 142 reviews. A UK review measured lower than those figures, and drips plus short sticks come up. The best value is SEEKONE at about £18.99, 4.7 from 3,177 reviews, the next value score after the top pick. It does not state a temperature for each step. Houshan is cheaper at about £12.17, and a UK review that rejected the dent-repair job takes that value score down. None of these scores is a laboratory test.
SEEKONE 60/100 W glue gun, 20 sticks
Next value score: 4.7 from 3,177 reviews at about £18.99.
