Heat Gun, 380W Fast Heat Mini Hot Air Gun with 2-Temp Settings 480°F-850°F(249°C-455°C) Overheat Protection Reflector Nozzle, 4.9Ft Long Cable for Shrink Wrap,Vinyl, Crafts, Epoxy Resin

With its included deflector, it works perfectly on heat shrink solder connectors. So much faster and EASIER than using a butane lighter. And far less likely to cause collateral damage.I recently finished installing a head unit in a vehicle. Initially i used my larger Harbor Freight heat gun, which is good for certain projects, but lacks finesse for wiring projects, especially where multiple wires are involved, or in crowded areas. I switched to a butane torch for a few connections, before deciding to purchase this heat gun, which arrived prior to my finishing the project.Hands down, it's the best tool i've used for heat shrink solder connectors. This gun, almost the moment i turned it on, produced sufficient heat to shrink the tubing and melt the solder. I was surprised by how quickly it worked; i had expected more of a lag, based on my experience with my larger heat gun, which requires more time to heat up. I had used its high setting, although the lower setting may have been sufficient (don't know as of the time of this writing).With the deflector, the heat is pretty well distributed all the way around the tubing, not really requiring rolling the wire to ensure uniform heating, which is good because i often don't have a sufficient number of hands to do that. This gun does have an integrated wire stand, so in certain situations can act as a third hand.The smaller size of this gun, with its commensurate reduced airflow, means it can be used in more confined spaces without nearly as much collateral damage of larger guns. It's a matter of choosing/having the correct tool for the task. Larger guns have their place and purposes. Given the relatively low cost of this compact heat gun, it was worth it to me to add it to my toolkit. Likely, i will use this gun more often than my larger gun, now that i have it.A feature missing from this heat gun (and all i've ever used, but have found on some hair driers) is a cooldown mode. Not only would it help to extend the life of the product, it would also be an important safety feature for a product like this.All which would be required is a switch setting to run the fan without heat. So i do have concerns about longevity of this product. (Running it on low for several seconds can help cool it somewhat from the high setting.)An active cooldown mode would allow the gun to be put away more quickly too, without the need of long passive cooldown times. I would deduct a star or two for the lack of this safety feature, if i was aware of any other heat gun having a cooldown mode. It really ought to be a standard feature for heat guns.

I have a heat gun but it was just too big to use for electronics work. This gun is small has a flip down stand and a slide on heat reflector, worked well for the solder splices that I used it on. The price was not too bad either. The low heat setting worked just fine for the splices along with using the reflector.

To be honest I was not expecting to much for the price, I paid less than $15 for this gun. I am using it for doing wood burning on cutting boards and it works great, I have to use it on the low setting as the high setting gets too hot. I would definitely recommend this heat gun.

Gun works great and is very fast to heat up. Almost too fast if you are not ready for it. Only negative for me was the location of the on/off - power setting switch. It was not easy to turn the unit off when needed. If working in tight quarters like I was, I almost burned othe wiring just trying to turn the power off. Now that I know the issue, I will work out a better plan. But unit did work great for my heat shrink application!

Got this for an experiment in using tyvex plastic into cool painted beads. This gun worked very well. Got hot. Real hot. Takes practice, as anything in art does. But together the tyvex (that I also got in the form of a paint cover all and in their very tuff mailing bags!It gets hot! Don't ignore that fact. Use it to long on one small are and some just may melt more than you need. Not the guns fault. It took a few trying before I felt comfortable that I could get it right. Then it is fast and easy.For cost, and to use in lower temp art project it's great. Probably isn't going to remove tile off floors. 😆 Make sure you get the right for the correct job.

Used this on some heat shrink with solder connectors. While wiring upgrades on an old pickup. On the medium setting it took a bit but, with the built in heat deflector attachment it worked great. Small but not to small. 1st setting worked great for regular heat shrink as well. On high this delivers more than enough heat for almost any wiring or hobby use. I used medium the most. It is small but not too small for practical use. The built in stand makes hand free use very practical as well. All in all nice so far. Would reccomend....

I bought this to heat up heat shrink connectors and it works great!

The product is heavier and more sturdy than I anticipated for the price. Hearts up quick and worked perfectly for melting the tops of my candles to even them out.I'd say this one is a value buy for sure!

The heat gun is small, but it does the job snd at a lower pricr.

Buena herramienta, es de muy poco peso y calienta muy bien y rápido.

It works well, is very efficient, and just nice to use. A good purchase.

Auf den ersten Blick und erstem Test ein tolles Gerät. Angenehm leiser Betrieb.Mit dem Zusatzblech für mich ideal zum Schrumpfen von Schrumpfschläuchen.Für den Preis mehr als gut. Eine Bereicherung für meine Hobby-Werkstatt.
