Great product for the price,
November 18, 2008
By fchan53
from Northern New England
"I needed a heat gun that I could use primarily on heat shrink tubing. I do quite a bit of motorcycle and automobile wiring and always use heat shrink tubing to insulate any connections. I bought this gun in April 2008 and it has worked flawlessly. It heats quickly and can fit into tight spaces. The various tip adaptors allow you to direct the heat to a large or small area. The included scrapers work great as heat shields. The 2-heat settings allow you to regulate the amount of heat applied. It is a great product and well worth the money."

Good Heat Gun Kit,
November 2, 2009
By joeyg74
from NY
"Kit comes with most common tools needed to strip doors or other painted wooden objects.
Gun produces fairly hot temperature with quick warmup
Great for around the house use and especially in the garage
The adaptors are good for emblem removal, etc.
Also, I used the gun to thaw some frozen copper water pipes.
All in all, I would recommend this kit as it is a great value.

Heat Gun Poor Value,
October 8, 2009
By TKtech
from Greencastle, PA
"This is the second review on this product I have written. They have taken my 1st one off? After receiving and returning the first heat gun within first few weeks of using, the folks at Northern Tool were very helpful and easy to understand and made the return and replacement process of this deal a breeze. However, the heat gun doesn't hold up well. My 2nd one lasted about as long as the first. I could probably return it again, but isn't worth it. I paid more and got a better heat gun."

Heat Gun,
July 20, 2009
By JoshM
from New York
"This is a wonderful product, I have no complaints at all. I have been using this heat gun to tint cars and I already have done several cars with it and it works flawlessly. I have had it for over a month now. The extra adapters come in handy especially when you are removing the emblems or badges off a car, cleanly and don't want any adhesive residue to be left.
I recommend this product to anyone that needs or uses a heat gun for certain applications, it's cheap and works wonderfully. There's no need to spend the money on other expensive gun kits, this is the gun kit to get."

Versitile Plus Tool,
November 17, 2008
By DesertRat
from Work in Iraq, vacation in Colorado
"I purchased the Heat Gun to remove old paint and boy it did a great job.
I had some new floor mats for my truck and they just did not lay flat.
So I had an idea to use the heat gun at the low setting to mold the floor mats.
"Wow" they now look like they are molded to the floor " custom"
Then I was laying some PVC pipe and needed a little jog so the pipe would lay around an exising pipe. Took the heat gun out, fired it up and the end product is really professional looking.
What a versitle tool and I have just begun to explore it's capabilities.
I would recommend it to everyone.

Great Deal,
August 12, 2008
By DOHC5spd2dr
from Greenfield, IN
"I bought this heat gun to remove some decals from automobiles, as well as for heat shrink tubing. I had priced other units, and never purchased one due to the high prices. With this unit you recieve alot of extra attachments that you wouldn't with the higher priced units.I would recommend this to anyone that needs a heat gun, and doesn't need the "heavy duty" higher priced models. Two thumbs up!"

Poor performance,

By jl61

"I was using this heat gun to dry moisture off of a concrete wall.
After about 15 minutes, it just stopped working.
The kit does come with some nice accessories but since the gun doesn't work....

"Works great, even after many, many hours of use. Very durable.
The "tools" included are nothing to write home about, but it does not detract from the usefulness."

dual temp heat gun kit,
April 14, 2008
By noears
from Milwaukee WI
"The heat gun work exactly as the discription said it would. The kit comes with a number of different tools for all jobs. I used this heat gun to melt ice inside a door frame that had frozen, to strip paint from a window sill and to seal wiring in a rubber casing. This heat gun worked great for all the jobs with its 2 different heat settings and with the different cones for different jobs. I would recommend thie tool for anyone who has a need for a heat gun."

Duel temp heat gun kit,

By woodworker58
from Troutville Va.
"The
company I work for bought one of these heat guns for me to use on the
job. It worked so well that I bought one for my workshop. I have
nothing bad to say about it. Every time I pick it up for a job, it gets
the job done. What else could you want from a heat gun?

Very Good Deal,
April 14, 2008
By 95BLKLSC
from MA
"I used this product this past weekend to soften the paint on my car to prevent cracking during a fender roll job. I also found about 3 other projects I was doing that it was nice to have. It worked great, comes with a decent assortment of tips. I wish it had a cold air only setting just to cool the heating element. It isn't a top notch heat gun but for occasional use I think it's great. Can't beat the price."

By Eddd

"This is a good, basic heat gun. It definitely concentrates the heat, and is easy to use. The packaging is decent. I did not find it hot enough to melt solder, but for shrink wrapping, defrosting, or other medium heat applications, this would be a good tool to use."

"Nice little package that offers good value. The gun was every bit as good as an expensive Milwaukee, and the package was comprehensive. More attachments than I would need, the "package" was nonetheless a great good surprise for the dollars spent."
