The lifespan of a glue gun depends on how it is used and maintained.

A glue gun may stop working properly if glue sticks become clogged in the channel or if the gun is used incorrectly. To help keep your glue gun working effectively, use the recommended glue sticks, allow the glue to fully heat before use, and always place the gun on its stand while in use or cooling down.

Following the manufacturer's instructions and using compatible glue sticks can help reduce the risk of blockages and premature failure.
