Hot glue gun that won't break the bank?

If anyone could recommend one please, that would be great!
There is just so much choice out there and I always seem to pick ones that are less than brilliant.
My current one never stops releasing the glue even if it is not being used, the glue just keeps oozing out which is very messy but I'm also using glue sticks like there is no tomorrow.
Ideally I didn't want to spend more than around £20 but can you get a decent hot glue gun for that price?

I have a stanley glue gun I'm very happy with1

I bought a Hoto cordless hot glue gun. It’s £30 at Amazon but I didn’t pay that much. It’s amazing and I’ve been really happy with it. Maybe it’ll be reduced on Black Friday. It doesn’t drip and has a cap that you can put on whilst it’s still hot so even if it did come out it would be caught.1

I got a cordless one off Amazon which is brilliant but does drip glue, I turn it off inbetween using it - I didn’t know you could get one that doesn’t drip! Maybe I need to upgrade1

Maybe I'm on a quest to find the impossible!

Maybe I need to upgrade Maybe I'm on a quest to find the impossible!I think they all drip; it's a fundamental property of hot melt glue.Mine is a mains-powered but "cordless" one from Lidl. It came with a stand that includes a drip tray.I bought it a few years ago and don't know if it will come back to the middle of Lidl again, otherwise I'd suggest it for you.N. Hampshire, he/him.
