Great for cleaning up 3d prints.
Yup. I basically use mine for cleaning up strings, bending certain model 3d prints, heat shrinking and also great for sticker removal.
Idk if you got a bad one or not, or maybe the glue sticks you were using, but I have both the ryobi 18v small and regular hot glue guns and they're both pretty great.
I do also have the ryobi 18v full size heat gun, and that one is not good. Maybe for limited usage it's fine, but there's no comparison to a corded heat gun. While I would expect corded to almost always outperform a battery operated tool, the difference was just too drastic. It took me so 3-4 minutes to heat shrink something that takes me 15 seconds with a corded heat gun.
There's not much that'll loosen Loctite. My gut says acetone but that might damage the bracelet.

The non-permanent blue and purple I've never needed heat to remove...

Totally agree with the heat gun, so I'm on the fence with this but will give it a shot.
I had a heat gun in the mid 90s. Haven't used one in 25+ years, but needed one. I figured technology changed things a lot, most Ryobi products are pretty good, why not?
I ended up buying 2 normal heat guns.

I use a mini butane torch for that. That's how Indo it for Kawasaki motorcycle bar ends that use red permanent thread locker and it would take a lot of juice to get all that metal (thermal mass) up to 500°F.
