I have yet to work with a 3M product that wasn't thoughtfully designed and executed with top notch quality this glue gun is a perfect example of how small details add up to make a big difference.
I use this glue gun several times a week and can go through 20 10" glue sticks in one sitting while doing small production runs. That's not enough work for me to justify the cost of 3M's high end "factory" glue guns, but enough work that the cheap hobby glue guns found at craft stores weren't able to keep up. This gun is perfect for someone in my situation.
The biggest improvement you'll enjoy over hobby guns is the heating element it gets up to temp faster and holds more melted glue. Hobby guns couldn't keep up with me I'd run out of glue and have to wait for more to melt before I could proceed. With this gun, you never have to wait even if you're working in an unheated garage in the dead of winter.
The glue gun is about 50% larger than a hobby/craft style. That extra length comes in handy when you need to reach into tight spots. The larger trigger gives fine control over how much glue is applied and also allows you to shoot a larger quantity of glue in one squeeze. The "filling" end of the gun is also longer, allowing you to add another glue stick earlier, so you're less likely to run out of glue in the middle of application.
Two final reasons why I enjoy using this glue gun: It drips less hot glue while sitting idle than any other gun I've used and it's more stable while sitting on my workbench than any other gun I've used most of the hobby guns end up falling over and leaving a puddle of glue to clean up.
