Wagner 0503063 FURNO 500 Variable Temp Heat Gun, 2 Nozzles & 12 Temperature Settings Ranging 150ᵒF-1200ᵒF, Electric Heat Gun for Paint Removal, Bending PVC, Crafts and More

I previously had a 4 to 5 star rating for this product. However, I no longer recommend it. As part of our attempt to speed up our work, we purchased more than one machine. It is usually faster to get the work done when there are a lot of hands doing it. Most of the time, however, the new purchases are replacing the old ones that I have had two pairs of these products and both have worn out. In the end, all the newer models have failed to last six months because of a change in design. Having gone through three of the old versions and three of the newer versions, none of them have lasted.

We have seen everything from the switch going bad to the entire unit just going out. Typically, the switch goes bad, so either you have a low-speed function but not a high-speed/temp function, or the other way around. It has been a while since we have had a unit stop working A switch could certainly be the cause of the problem. We've been having some difficulties with the last one we bought today. It will turn on, but sounds like it's gargling.

purchased this item knowing I would use it for a number of different applications, but my immediate use was to restore the plastic cladding on my Chevy Avalanche, which had faded into a dull grey, and stood out like a sore thumb against This was far more effective than buying and applying liquid lies, as I saw on youtube videos. My trash bin lid started melting as I searched my garage for something to hang this thing on I knew then that I was being foolish when I couldn't find anything to hang it on. It is best to have a hook or nail to use to hang this on, in order to avoid destroying the first thing you set it on. My first thought was that it's too light, so I looked inside the box for the rest of it. It's not heavy at all. I've been holding on to it. I fell in love with it and became Besides Hot and Really Hot, it has two other settings. My Master Miyagi instructed me to follow a swirling pattern when I used the Really Hot setting for the plastic cladding. In the pictures I am attaching to my review, you can see the results. You can also try this on other plastic parts on different vehicles, as long as you test in a small area, where you'll be able to really mess up and not be yelled at by your wife for being stupid. You can use a heat gun for a wide range of applications, including tinting windows, shrink wrapping or sealing windows, removing caulk, loosening glued on items, and as you can see, some automotive plastic restoration. If you enjoyed this review, let me know, and I will make sure to make it as useful as possible. Your time is appreciated. Thanks for keeping up with Thank you for your help.

It was a good price, so I bought it. This is a highly recommended read. Considering the price is well below the MSRP and its on my heart's gotta have wish list, I grabbed it. I saw this tool promoted by Jennifer McGuire, a big name in the world of papercrafting. Her favorite things each year are published in a special edition. The video will always be on YouTube (no matter what year it is). I found out this embossing tool came from my grandmother and she refers to it as "the granddaddy of all embossers. ". Amazon led me to this tool as soon as I searched for it on Amazon. I didn't make fun of her. For embossing, it heats up very quickly to a hot temperature needed for the process. powder in a fraction of the time as any other tool I have ever used. For more than 30 years, I have been rubberstamping, and for over 10 years, I have been papercrafting. As a result, my experience relates to Marvy, which I used to believe was the best product ever made. Here's a tip Things get really hot very fast with this thing. Be sure to guard against any burns on your skin or on any Similarly, do not overheat the powder like you might if you were using another embossing tool. I'm in awe of how fast this old boy is. For sealing plastic bags, I cannot comment since I have never used it for this purpose. My doubts are based on the fact that I have never used this tool for sealing plastic bags. If that's the case, you'd need to take a look at the wattage there would be a trick you need to perform. I hope, in closing, I have been helpful as Jennifer McGuire has been In addition, let me say that even though it might be more expensive than other heat tools, trust me when I say that it is worth the extra expense.

There was a time when Wagner heat guns were the best to buy and I purchased them for 20 years. No longer. For more than a decade I stopped buying them. I bought this one thinking it was already old stock (old body style) and I regret Unlike the last one, this one did not I ordered three, and I have not received any of them. The average cost of operation is just four dollars per day, so there's little chance of My only hope is that the situation would be different if Wagner or anyone else selling these items actually used them. ** Update** My package arrived last night with the remaining 2 books. An individual has already resigned from his or her job. The last 3 uses lasted only a few weeks. This just makes me very disgusted at the moment.

It is astonishing how quickly these die after just six months of use. I use them only for light drying work on artwork. Having to deal with this is My hope is that someone at Wagner sees this and sends me a replacement as soon as possible.

The tool I use the most to craft and make This has only been in my possession for a couple of days, but so far it has worked well In addition to using it with worbla, I also used it with resin to speed up the cure.
