Plastic welder (stapler) recommendation

[zillah]

Plastic welder recommendations?

Looking for a low-cost plastic welder. Are either of the HF ones any good? This will be used a few times a year, at most. I'm currently just using a soldering iron, so I'm not looking to spend hundreds of $.

Hi All
I didn't like to revive old thread

After three years from the old thread

1- Looking to buy AP 7600 hot staple gun ,,,,,,is there a portable type to AP7600 ? Do you recommend a portable type for a short repair as battery may not last for long ,,,,I know that as I have wired Makita heat gun wired Makita and battery heat guy Milwaukee ?

2-Is there any version of AP7600 ?

3-HF one for small repairs as I am not in US which good quality you recommend for a small repair ?

Thx

I bought the Maddox battery powered one (https://www.harborfreight.com/cordless-hot-stapler-kit-70800.html) and, so far, I really like it. I haven't used it extensively, but when I have used it, it has been solid. It heats up fast, recharges relatively quickly, and it seems to be the same as the Matco hot stapler (https://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/hsgkr/cordless-hot-staple-gun).

Astro does have a battery powered one as well and you can get the Summit Racing version of the same thing for a little less.

I don't have any info on battery powered but I can say that the gun format is not ergonomic. Look for an in line style.
