Hello, there. We're sorry you were disappointed by your experience with the GT80 glue gun. While we designed this tool to be easy-to-use, it's possible a glue gun like the GT12M may be a better fit for you because it offers a detachable stand (https://thd.co/2PusCQz). However, we'd be happy to touch base with you to troubleshoot further about the issues you encountered with this glue gun as well. Please feel free to reach out to us at customercare@arrowfastener.com or call 800-776-2228. We take customer feedback seriously, so thank you for the detailed feedback you provided. -Your Arrow Fastener team
