  After going through 3 or 4 of the expensive heat guns I tried this one and it works great. Highly recommend. And if it breaks I can get 3 for what I paid for the good others.

  Es un buen producto y un buen presio

  I returned it only because it didn’t have more air volume than my current one. But it’s solid and hot and pretty low noise. Quality heat gun.

  I bought this item to blister paint and heat old caulk based on overall positive reviews.Pros:* Good quality construction.* Includes a stand to allow using the tool while setting on your bench.* Dead simple to operate. Switching to "on" turns on single speed fan and all heaters. It is not possible to change the number of energized heaters; you adjust vent shutter to regulate temp.Cons:* Made in China (isn't everything?)* Nameplate temperature says rating is 1000°F - 1100°F. However, the operating instructions say temp range is 500°F - 750°F. I haven't directly measured the temp range at nozzle to validate either claim.* Air flow is just adequate; would like more volume. However, more air flow would require more heater power to maintain temperature; the tool is already rated at 13 amps @ 110VAC, which is the limit for household outlets.Notes:* There is only one fan speed; "on". However, temp at the surface you're heating can easily be adjusted by changing the distance from the nozzle.* Output air temp is regulated by throttling air flow using the fan ventilation shutter, which means temp increases as the air flow is reduced. However, it also means that higher temps have even less air flow at the nozzle.The best use of this tool seems to be applications like blistering small areas of paint and heating heat shrink wire insulation, where accurately controlling the nozzle temp is not important. Applications that require narrow temperature bands, like softening various types of PVC and plastic without melting, need a tool with more temperature precision that this one. And for blistering large areas of paint fairly quickly, such as in wooden home siding, propane is the way to go.

  Got this as a Christmas present for my friend who runs a painting and drywall business. So far it’s doing everything as advertised and holding up.

  Very pleased with the performance of this heat gun. I really like my wagner but until they are available again, this works really well.

  We use the heck out of these heat guns, but sadly they just dont last long. i bought 3 in august of 2022 and didnt use the first one until about 2 months ago. The unit only blows cold air now. The heating element went out of this morning. Just cost me 1.5 hours in travel time to come home to get another one. Hopefully the next one makes it more than a month or two as this tool is critical for drywall repairs.

  I like this heat gun, however I could have gotten it allot cheaper at Harbor freight and I wouldn't have to have waited for delivery. it is what it is.
