USB-powered portable hot glue gun

8 Comments

How many times have you found yourself being annoyed by someone's near-feral children, longing to find a distraction to make them leave you alone? Whereas before you might have felt powerless, unable to defocus them and stymie their sickeningly pure and innocent curiosity and/or desire to torture you, hope has now arrived: just pull out your USB-powered hot glue gun, and permanently attach a quarter (or a 50 yen coin, in our case) to the floor and tell the little brats that it's magic or whatever, and BOOM! You're free!

Oh, and you might also want to do some arts and crafts on the fly or patch a broken shoe or some such. There's that stuff, too.

Specs: Dimensions: Width 120 × height 140 × depth 36 (mm) Weight: 90g Includes: Body, two glue sticks, Japanese manual Price: ¥1,980

For some reason, this is one of the scariest photos I've seen in my life. I can't explain why.

Hey, I could glue my laptop shut. Hilarious!

You can buy a glue gun in 100 yen shop. Why do you need one that requires you to have a USB port/PC? You want to drag your laptop to floor to fix your shoe?

Most pointless invention ever... unless you're stuck in your car with an emergency glueing needed somewhere... or sitting at the coast with your laptop and you decide to glue a shell to a stone... equally as stupid as the suggestions in the article.

Still, cute photo.

Oh no! She's glued the gun to her chin.

There's a good chance the glue gun has a cable between itself and the USB plug.

Seriously though, the amount of current required at 5 volts to melt the glue is likely to overload the USB port, most unwise in my opinion.
