Swapped out my $10 glue gun for a $5 one and the difference is wild

Used to buy the high-temp ones at the hardware store, but last month I grabbed a low-temp mini from Dollar Tree for a kids craft project. The cheap one doesn't burn through foam or ribbon, so my wreaths look way cleaner now. Anyone else find a dollar store swap that actually works better?

I bet the lower temp means way less burnt fingertips too.

My last soldering iron was old school and I definitely burned myself like three times in one sitting before I gave up on it. It's funny how small changes in everyday tools can save you from a whole lot of frustration. Idk, maybe it's just me but I feel like we're slowly figuring out the little things that actually make life easier.
