The Athelon® PU foam gun makes a positive impression from the moment it is unpacked. It was neatly packaged and the size of the packaging was adapted to the product, which is a sign of thoughtful packaging design. Product protection was effective as the foam gun arrived without scratches or dirt, indicating careful handling during transportation. The responsible use of packaging materials is particularly commendable as no plastic wrap was used, helping to reduce plastic waste.
The package contents and scope are also impressive. In addition to the foam gun itself, the set includes various attachments, a brush for cleaning and a well-written instruction manual. This scope enables versatile use of the gun and makes it easy to adapt to different requirements and challenges in the work area. The clear and understandable operating instructions make it easy even for inexperienced users to familiarize themselves with the product and use it effectively.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 5.0 stars. Many users report a smooth and efficient workflow and easy handling. The positive workmanship and pleasant handling are also frequently highlighted. Easy cleaning is also mentioned as another plus point, which makes maintenance of the gun much easier. In our practical test, we were able to confirm the effectiveness and reliability of the product. Despite the predominantly positive reviews, it should be noted that some customers did not mention any specific points of criticism. Overall, however, the Athelon® PU foam gun impresses with its performance and user-friendliness, making it an excellent choice for craftsmen and DIY enthusiasts.

Prices of up to €41 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €11 . The marten repellent from Plattler® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €20.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
