It turns out that it's quite an interesting device. The circuitry is very much in keeping with Aldi and Lidl tools, with a fairly intelligent design. It's unusual that they didn't use a standard lithium charge chip though.

ALDI Ferrex cordless hot melt glue gun teardown

This hot melt glue gun was seized by security when I took it through as hand luggage (for safety!). They implied that I might brandish it and hijack the small island-hopper propeller plane. I'm sure my movie-villain appearance had nothing to do with the decision. Fortunately I was able to pay to have the glue gun posted to me. (Total cost of both tools £30 - cost of recovering them £20!) Turns out that it's a very capable little glue gun with a ridiculously fast heat-up time and the circuitry and heater assembly were well worth making a video about. If you enjoy these videos you can help support the channel with a dollar for coffee, cookies and random gadgets for disassembly at:- https://www.bigclive.com/coffee.htm This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's algorithm quirks, allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty. #ElectronicsCreators
