Heat Gun recommendation ???

[AlK]

I am looking to purchase a heat gun for home use.

I have checked on Amazon and there a lot of heat guns available, but after the reading the reviews I am not sure what I should purchase. It appears that everything is made offshore. I am hopping to spend less than $100. Is there a particular name Brand/Model that any of you would recommend or stay away from?

Thanks

I bought a cheap one from Cantire years ago and it's still working fine.
Most are imports.
it was under $50

Same here with Scott. Crappy Tire for me as well. Nice to have one with a low and high setting.

That is good to hear.

Got my cheapo at Summit. Like others have said, no point in going expensive. I think mine was $39

Agree with everyone else here. I’ve had this one for probably 8 years now and it has been fine

If you’re using it for wiring, get a heat shrink attachment for it, super handy.

Ya that orange one from crappy tire is all you need, works great

I bought a Black and Decker cheapo orange model, last year , on Amazon. $27 last year , now it’s $33. Going strong. Looks very similar to CT $50 one.

Black & Decker for under $35.
Works great. I mostly use it for heat shrink tubing and connectors.

This one will likely go on sale for Black Friday, I bought it because I believe it will stand up on end for hands free use. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/...zzles-case-8-pc-0548296p.0548296.html?loc=plp

Remember before Amazon you couldn't find a heat gun unless it was a Wagner or a snap on rebranded unit, or some kind of industrial branded one. They were well over 150 bucks.

Another one for the Canadian tire special. Works great.

I have 2, I don't need 2. Whats your location

I have this Wagner one. Had a cheap one from princess auto before but it lit itself on fire so I wanted to get a better quality one. It cools itself down when you shut it off by just running the fan. and it has hands free stand

I have this one ... works as it should, no issues

Fantastic. I'm getting tired of waiting for Makita to release more tools in the 40v category. I have 14 of those batteries. Went all in on them last year. First system that I've found to be MORE power than my corded stuff.
