Toronto, Ontario — Have you ever found yourself begging for a smaller plastic repair tool during bumper repairs? TikTok may—or more likely, may not—have a fix for you.
A video shared by TikTok user @rachel_meaders features the BONDIC Laser Liquid Plastic Welder—an itsy-bitsy plastic ‘welding’ tool that dispenses glue from one end while a UV light affixed to the other end hardens the material.
Meaders says in her video that the tool can “fix anything.” The kicker? The gadget, dubbed the Bondic Laser Liquid Plastic Welder Complete, only costs US$20.
“It can fix and repair anything that normal glue can’t keep up with,” Meaders said as she showed off the tool in her 15-second TikTok video.
While Meaders does not directly say the plastic welding gadget will work on automobiles, the tool’s Amazon page features several images showing the tool being used on auto parts, as well as on a pair of eyeglasses and a broken dish.
According to the frequently asked questions on the product’s Amazon page, customers truly believe this tool is capable of all plastic repair—from simple kitchen fixes to full-scale dental work.
Some buyers even admitted to using it for DIY car fixes, to no avail.
“I used it to glue a part of my broken plastic bumper on my car,” said one reviewer. “It didn’t work very well!”
“I used this on a plastic trim bezel in my car. I waited for it to cure, only to be disappointed when it fell apart again.”
One noble buyer came through as the voice of reason, however, warning other customers that you cannot, in fax, fix a car window—or any other car part, for that matter.
