It is suitable for heat shrink tubing if you intend to use it for that purpose. The soldering station does run on two heat settings, however, so it is not designed for soldering. Five amps) and the coil glow orange instead. A thermal protection device (reed switch) breaks the circuit after 90 seconds of running on high (without any attachments) If you need to sustain a high setting I recommend the Wagner because it will run Also, it melts things if they are in contact with the nozzle, especially the cord when you mistakenly think it is cool enough to set it I tried setting it to 750 watts and it worked fine. At 1 inch, the temperature is 200 degrees. The high is in the range of
In short, yes. If you want to do this, use the low setting on your smartphone, as you would with any other screen.
Shrink wrap packaging for products should be enclosed and sealed, and then a small hole should be poked through the wrap in order to allow trapped Make sure that the shrink wrap has shrunk evenly across the package by moving the heat gun back and forth over it.
I was surprised at how well it stays in place. I set up my wires so heat shrink would go on between each one.

Listed below are some tips and tricks. I will review all cheap brands in this review Take care not to miss the description pictures, because many guns have the same appearance, regardless of the color. Seeing that they look the same tells you that they're made from the same mold by the same manufacturer in China under different brand names. If we pay more for something that looks the same, that does not necessarily mean we are getting a better product. Here are the reasons why they fail according to my examination of the tool. You should use caution and common sense when using the heat gun and understand when to use it in cold weather and when to use it in If you are stripping paint in cold weather, use the high-pressure washer It shouldn't be a problem to set the temperature. If the gun is used in an outdoor temperature between 85 and 90 degrees A temperature drop of 90 F makes a big difference in At the highest setting, you should only use the heating for a short period of time. At this setting, the resistors get red hot, which indicates that there isn't enough air As a result of constant use on high, the resistors will fail. As a suggestion, if you have to use it on high, try switching between it and low so that the internal components may be less warmed up. While working with the high temperature setting, do not suddenly turn off the heat gun, turn it on the low temperature setting to lower the temperature of the internal components, however this heat gun does not have a cool air mode that would allow it to cool completely before it could be turned Make sure not to turn it off from high, and make sure the nozzle is facing downward There will be residual heat that is escaping from the back of the fan and it will begin to damage it. -Be careful to leave the gun resting with the nozzle up when you turn off the gun, as the heat will dissipate less damaging the plastic. The tip of the nozzle should not be at one inch from the surface. By doing so, you will reduce the airflow of the gun, which will lead to overheating. Keep about 2 inches away from the surface when you are touching it. It will reduce static pressure and enhance the flow of air if the gun is set at an angle from the surface. A professional tool won't be much use to this Weekend warriors will find this tool useful. It costs over $100 for a professional tool to operate continuously for a long time. When used for the first time, shake it slightly to make sure there are no loose parts. If there is a rattle and it sounds like it is loose, return the item to the box. In the case of a loose screw, or tiny chunks of plastic, the fan blades will break and the end result will be the gun not working. Dropping it will not be of any use to After you are done with your job, unplug the computer, let it cool in a place that does not contain any materials that can ignite, such as So far, it has worked fine, just being careful with it in order to see if it may last a while.
4 stars because it does not have a cool off setting, nor enough air supply.
The pictures on this page are from my original review of this heat gun, which I authored in July 2017. Since than I have owned it since July 2017 and it works perfectly for many art projects. ** I've been wanting one of these to use for small projects, and I ended up using this one. A used baby cart that my wife had found was quite scratched up and this gun worked like a charm to restore it (pictures My next step will be to use it on the scratch marks on my car's plastic door panels. All it takes is a little heat to make the dings disappear. This heat gun shipped very fast to me and I am very pleased with it.
In addition to hand making soy candles, I purchased this product to fix imperfections on the outside of the I was surprised at how hot the heat gun gets and how well it works. I think it got to at least 200 degrees on low and I used it only on that. Since my kids like to help me, but it was too hot for them to handle, I would definitely not recommend for children. There is a slight warmth to the plastic handle part, which is not unbearable to touch, however, the metal part runs extremely hot. I used it about 5 times before it became too hot to touch. The machine started smoking after a few minutes of lying on its side, I think because the ventilation on one side was blocked so I just held it until it was full. I wouldn't recommend this because of the smoke, I think because the ventilation on one side was covered. When I was done, I unplugged it, let it cool off for a moment, and then flipped it over so that it fully cooled. I'm more than satisfied with my purchase, especially for the price! I just got it today, so I hope it holds up and the quality is as good as I thought it would be!.
In the first place, you'd better wear a jacket because, man, this thing is Unfortunately, they do not specify how hot the outfit is in the description (I could not find this information). The only information given is the wattage. On the gun are the temperatures of 572 °F and 572 °C A 1000 degree degree. I wanted an inexpensive heat gun mainly to handle shrink tubing but this was a bit hotter than I needed. As hot as it was, I didn't expect it to be. As long as the body is in use, it remains cool. In addition to the weight of the gun, there is an additional weight for the cord 1 pound Weighing it on a sensitive postal scale was my first step. There is a cord attached, so it is around This is a weight of 4 lbs. It is a pretty picture with the light and the shadows This is a simple to handle product. As long as the handle is in place, the heat gun will lie flat on its back. Due to the air intake located to the sides and the lack of ventilation in the back, this position is safe to operate. As you set the fan speed, the switch stays in the position you set it. The switch stays in whatever position you set it to. As the plastic body is not grounded, they do not have a grounded cord. Each nozzle accessory shown is included with instructions, as well as all the nozzle accessories pictured. Despite not being as good as a Porter Cable, the quality of construction is OK. This is a good piece and I really like it I found this to be easy to use, even though the label sticker did not fit quite right. Getting a little smoke out of it should be expected after the first use. It should not be a problem- The heat gun is on! Therefore, I would recommend this heat gun as an inexpensive and basic model.
