I've purchased these glue sticks probably a dozen times in my short 24 years on this earth. They are the only brand of glue sticks I use. And as an avid glue-stick user, that means a lot. I've tried other brands. Occasionally dabbled in the 'cheaper imported hot glue sticks'. They don't compare- don't buy them. These sticks are hands down the best- and this is coming from a girl who literally makes her living making crafts with glue sticks. I know my hot glue better than the manufacturers probably do. I have two mini hot glue guns- one that's a high temp and one at a medium temp. Both work equally as efficiently with this glue. It easily melts in any hot glue gun and does not require a super high temp to get very liquidy. I like my glue 'liquid'- as the more liquidy it is the better it seems to stick. This glue gets pretty soft. Yet- it hardens almost instantly. It's dried in a matter of 15 to 20 seconds. It has a bit of an opaque color to it- it's not clear. I've noticed that the "clear" glues I've used from other brands have a very toxic smell to them and also don't stick nearly as well. This glue just sticks- and that's what I need it to do. It's worked well for a variety of purposes. I've used it on wood, fabric, bone, feathers, hemp- even beetle wings. It always sticks. The only things I find it won't efficiently hold are glass, porcelain, and very smooth plastics. For some reason it can't get a good grip on these items- and for those particular materials I'd recommend a 'super glue' type product. This pack comes with 100. I go through them relatively quickly (this will last me about a month). For most hobby crafters this pack will easily last you a year. They're always well-packaged, uniform in size, and high quality. I've never had a 'dud'. I've never had one that was oddly shaped or too short or long. I've never had any that had a bad smell to them or didn't melt or stick well. They've all been perfect. And I've used THOUSANDS of these glue sticks in my lifetime. I love them. I'll be back for more. The price is fantastic and the glue itself- well it's the best you'll find.

I like the fine tip on this low temp glue gun. It's more precise application of glue.

Ah, dear reader, gather 'round as I regale you with a tale of adhesive wonder, a saga of thermoplastic triumph, a veritable odyssey through the world of fastening implements! For today, we embark upon a journey to explore the virtues of that most humble yet indispensable of crafting accoutrements: the garden-variety hot glue gun stick. Picture, if you will, a package arriving at one's doorstep with such alacrity that one might suspect it of having been borne on the wings of Hermes himself. Indeed, the swiftness with which this parcel materialized was nothing short of miraculous, leaving this humble reviewer positively agog with admiration for the efficiency of our modern postal system. Upon opening said package, one's eyes are immediately drawn to a clear plastic bag, within which nestle a bevy of slender, translucent cylinders. These, dear friends, are the hot glue gun sticks of legend – or at least of craft store aisles. Each stick, measuring a mere handful of inches in length and boasting a diameter no greater than that of a pixie's wand, holds within its unassuming form the power to unite disparate materials in bonds of unyielding strength. Now, let us turn our attention to the matter of pecuniary exchange. In an age where one might be expected to sacrifice a firstborn child for a loaf of artisanal sourdough, it brings me great joy to report that these hot glue gun sticks were priced with a fairness that would make Lady Justice herself weep with pride. Neither highway robbery nor bargain-basement steal, the cost struck that perfect balance – much like the ideal consistency of melted glue itself. But what of their performance, you ask? Fear not, for I have put these diminutive marvels through their paces with the rigor of a scientist and the enthusiasm of a child let loose in a candy store. Whether adhering googly eyes to pine cones, affixing sequins to last year's regrettable Christmas sweater, or repairing the shattered dreams of a poorly constructed papier-mâché volcano, these hot glue gun sticks rose to every challenge with the grace of a swan and the tenacity of a barnacle. The melting point of these wondrous wands is nothing short of perfection – hot enough to flow like the rivers of Hades, yet cool enough to spare one's fingers from resembling a charbroiled sausage. As they liquefy, they emit an aroma that can only be described as "eau de craft store" – a bouquet that titillates the nostrils and stirs the soul to create with reckless abandon. In conclusion, dear reader, I find myself at a loss for words (a rare occurrence indeed) to adequately convey the sheer magnificence of these hot glue gun sticks. They are the unsung heroes of the crafting world, the silent guardians of DIY projects, the sticky saviors of broken tchotchkes everywhere. To own a bag of these is to hold the very essence of creation in one's hands – assuming, of course, that one remembers to use the actual glue gun and not attempt to wield the sticks like magical wands. Thus, I bid you farewell, with hands slightly sticky and a heart full of adhesive joy. May your crafts always hold fast, your shipments arrive with haste, and your wallet remain as unscathed as mine after this most judicious of purchases.

Surebonder is my favorite hot gun. Holds great and has never let me down, so far. Hardens quickly and at a good price point. Best for crafts.

I purchased these to go with my Surebonder CL-195f gun, and they work perfectly. I use these mostly for wrapping gifts in kraft paper, and in that context they are good. You can add a thin layer, immediately smooth it over, and it fixes well without showing through the other side or affecting the package being wrapped. I find that I go through maybe half a stick per medium package, so 100 will last me about three or four years . Would recommend.

When looking for colorless, quick drying and strong durable glue that works as it should this is definitely the value for your money. I did some searching around and this is by far the cheapest option.

This item has a great quantity for the price.

Worked as expected.

Buen producto

Works well, fits glue gun. Good for precision work. I am working on a very large project, so I am thankful that I can use a small amount of glue and the pieces will adhere solidly. It has saved me a lot of money.

Came as described. Quick delivery and quality as pictured.

Excellent

I liked the quality of this product, I don't have to worry about, this coming unglued.
