Tec 806-12 Low cost medium size industrial 12mm glue gun, eco melt chamber design for low power consumption, robust & easy to use. Medium output, 3 minute warm-up time & illuminated on/off switch.
Improved quality, the new tec 806-12 strikes a similar balance of quality, reliability and affordability as the class-leading 805-12, while boasting some useful additional features. These include a soft-grip handle to improve comfort, a more efficient eco melt chamber design for faster and easier adhesive application, a power cord increased in length from 2m to 3m, and protective mouldings around the on/off switch to prevent accidental operation.
Even easier to use, with an improved heater housing, the tec 806-12 is easier to use for longer. It has been designed to ensure optimum safety and user-comfort with a new soft-feel grip, and features an adjustable trigger, which means that alterations can be made to suit different hand sizes, or to achieve different outputs per trigger pull. It also includes a sturdy base, so it can be stood up between uses with no risk of the glue melting back. Plus, the 806-12 has been modelled with a narrow profile to aid visibility and ensure that adhesive can be accurately applied. It also has an easy-to-clean nozzle shroud, so any dried glue can be wiped off to keep your gun in good condition.
Fast warm-up, the tec 806-12 has a fast heat up time of only 2-3 minutes from cold, so is ready for use almost immediately. It is fitted with an illuminated on/off switch, which now features a new moulding to shield it, preventing it from being turned on or off by accident. The tec 806-12 can also operate on any voltage from 110V to 240V due to its PTC self-regulating heater, offering users even more flexibility. The tec 806-12 meets worldwide electrical standards and is covered by a 12 month warranty

Wanted a glue gun with a much higher flow rate than the (Arrow) gun I had . This one works very well with a huge flow rate allowing large areas to be glued without it going cold before assembly. the downside is that you get more chance to burn yourself. Only negative for the gun is that the cable is fairly stiff, but with the weight of the gun it doesn’t cause too much of a problem. I had some Axminster glue sticks that measured at 11mm Dia…They still worked fine in this gun.

Tec 806 and 5 kilo clear glue : Needed a new glue gun as my old cheapo died a slow and painful death had read reviews on a woodworking forum about these guns so my wife was asking what do I want for Christmas so decided to get one of these , Ordered it and came within 3 days and it is a cracker heats up so quick and has a very smooth operation very comfartable grip a lot heavier than my last one but that just makes it so accurate and precise very good all rounder.

bought this glue gun as old one was pretty useless (took forever to heat up) however the new one TEC806 12 is superb and great value for money, I bought it with 5kg of gluesticks and am very pleased with it.

Buy this one first time and you won’t regret it !
I bought a cheaper glue gun from, my upholstery supplier and it’s rubbish. Bought this to improve matters along with 5kg of sticks and I cannot believe how much better it is. It’s halved my production time and improved quality / accuracy . Also great postage / service

Having got through my third so called professional glue gun, thought I’d look at the glue guns here. Purchased this gun, having revived it I can only say WOW what a difference! Much easier to control glue flow and fine enough to do quite delicate work.
Well worth the money and time will tell its reliability I guess

Excellent general purpose gun. Well balanced ergonomic design, fits easily in hand and comfortable to use. Rapid heat up is good for those busy days. Slight glue drip from the regular nozzle when hot – not a big issue but I’ll try swapping it out for the valve type and see what happens

I did a little homework, and chose this gun and so glad I did,, quality feel and ease of use,, the stand makes all the difference, spot on,, cheers

Easy to use, heated up very quickly, provided a good flow of glue, and the stand was helpful. I am very pleased with the initial results of tecbond 248 glue sticks in glueing duette blinds, and the needle extension nozzle provided excellent accuracy. I can think of many more applications I will be using this glue gun and nozzle for.

JUst received this glue gun less than 24 hours after I placed the order. The sales team at Glue Guns Direct were very helpful and attentive.
The gun has been used a couple of times and I am very impressed, rapid warm-up and very little glue "dribble".
So far so good – recommended.

The best service I have had in a very long time. Even phoned me to give sound advice on the use of the gun and which glue sticks would suit me in my work. Thank you very much, I will buy from you again for all my glue stick needs.
