No Project Is Out Of Reach With The Greenworks 24V Cordless Glue Gun
For quick fixes and small projects around the house, a glue gun is one tool you want to have around. We’re taking a closer look at the Greenworks 24V Cordless Glue Gun to help you decide if it’s worth cutting the cord on such a handy tool.
Using The Greenworks 24V Cordless Glue Gun
Glue guns have so many uses around the house and workshop. Greenworks’ cordless model takes it one step further and gives you the flexibility to move freely without worrying about pesky wires.
Getting started is easy. Start by holding the power butting until the LED light on top of the glue gun glows red. This heat indicator will turn green after about 90 seconds to let you know it has reached its working temperature. That’s pretty fast, even compared to corded models!
There are no surprises when it comes to loading your glue sticks. Simply feed any 1/2-inch glue sticks through the back and use the trigger to advance them through until it reaches the heating chamber.
One thing we really like about this glue gun is the drip-free nozzle. Greenworks’ self-standing design keeps it upright as opposed to corded models that rely on a kickstand that angles the body downward. It’s still a best practice to put down a paper towel to protect sensitive surfaces but so far we have not experienced any unwanted drips.
Greenworks tells us that you can expect about 90 minutes of continuous trigger time with a 2.0Ah battery. For added safety, the glue gun will auto-shutdown after 3-minutes of standby. If you’ve ever had that terrifying “did I unplug the iron?” moment, this is music to your ears!
Greenworks 24V Cordless Glue Gun Design Notes
Compared to the glue guns I’ve used in the past, this is the first one I can describe as comfortable. The grip features a soft rubber overmold and contours nicely to my hand, much Greenworks’ other handheld cordless tools.
Glue guns use pressure from the trigger to manually push the glue stick forward. This model utilizes a 3-finger trigger that spreads the effort out. This is especially really helpful if your hand strength isn’t what it used to be.

While this glue gun only weighs 1.8 pounds with a 2.0Ah battery, it is more bottom-heavy that other glue guns that don’t have to support a battery. However, that’s a tradeoff we’re willing to make for the sake of cordless convenience.
