Does it use standard glue sticks?

Yes. It takes full-size glue sticks, the common 7/16-inch diameter sticks, so you are not locked into a special size.

What battery does it use?

It runs on Ryobi's removable USB Lithium battery, the same pack used across the compact USB Lithium tool line. You can swap packs and recharge over USB.

How long does it take to heat up?

It is slower than a corded full-size gun. Give it several minutes to reach full working heat before starting a project.

Is it good for fine detail work?

The precision tip helps in tight spots, but the body is full-size. For very fine craft work a mini glue gun is easier to control.

What comes in the kit?

The kit includes the glue gun, a USB Lithium battery, a USB charging cable and glue sticks. Check the box contents for the exact stick count.

Can I use it while it charges?

No. It runs on the battery, so charge a spare pack or wait for a charge rather than gluing plugged in.

Our take on the Ryobi USB Lithium Cordless Glue Gun Kit

The Ryobi USB Lithium Glue Gun is a full-size cordless hot glue gun that runs on a removable, rechargeable USB Lithium battery shared with Ryobi's compact USB tool line. It is Ryobi's lightest full-size glue gun, with a precision tip, a wire-form stand and full-size glue stick compatibility. It suits crafters, hobbyists and light repair jobs who want glue without a cord or a wall outlet. Against corded full-size guns it trades continuous heat and fast recovery for portability; against mini USB glue guns it holds more glue and stands on its own, but it is bigger and heavier in the hand. Owners like the freedom from cords and the shared battery, while some complain about slow heat-up, drip and battery runtime.
