jbw55 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Anyone here keep a heat gun in there arsonal.....I really like the Steinel brand from Gemany, currently using a HL1910 E gun with temp control. I find many uses for a heat gun more so than I ever thought. They also offer a variety of tips for your particular needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrull Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Got a heat gun on the welding station. And a portable one (dremel versatip, gass powered). Both works for small stuff. For larger stuff I've got a cheap china heat gun (2kW). But it's electric is awfull, and all the lights in the house starts blinking when it is in use (Sends a lot of electric noise into the system). And if I turn it off after use on max temp, the plastic will melt. (So you need to run it on half power before you turn it off)Not good at all, and should probably be replaced with something nice. The metabo one looks pretty cool. :-Dhttp://dorchdanola-netbutik.dk/product/metabo-varmluftpistol-he-23-650-control-2300-watt-3995/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeldfabNeil Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Is that the model with the swappable tips?Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkYep, it's got seven tips. It also has a lcd display thing to adjust heat setting. I would have to look at it to know the exact model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemdale Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I have the Steinel HL 1910E which is great with the analog heat control. No fancy LCD temp display but I'm a bit of a "cool-warm-burning" type of guy. [emoji2] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemdale Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 @jbw55: do you use the cool ir feature to cool the gun down more rapidly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbw55 Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 @jbw55: do you use the cool ir feature to cool the gun down more rapidly ?Only if I'm changing tips or I need to cool down what I'm working on otherwise I just let it cool by itself before going back in the case.

NERemodeling Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Definetly gotta have a heat gun in the arsenal! Very useful tool that really has no other substitutes in a lot of situations . I use a variable temp makita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMack37 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 I use my heat gun all the time. I bought it like 10 years ago for working on hockey sticks but I use it all the time for just about everything I need heat. What's incredible about it is that I only paid about $10 for it at Sears and now even the off-brand cheap heat guns are four times the price! You can barely buy the reducing tip for $10!

Well at least it's dewalt branded, not sure exactly who made it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
