DeWalt 18v cordless heat gun

[dbdreams]

I use the black and decker corded heat gun and have used them for years but I would like to see DeWalt make ar cordless version that is a little more tough and lightweight.

I would even like to see Dewalt build a better version of the black and decker model.

Would you buy one?

[hoosierwindowtek]

Probably not.

Cost too high, battery run out to quick.

if the battery was good, I would definitly buy 2

If it could blast 1200 f or higher for the entire day without letting up, and the battery last for ATLEAST a year and require no more than a few hours to charge.....maybe.

not me....I'm happy with what I've got. if it ain't broke, don't fix it

If someone can make one that works, I would buy one.

I believe they are too power hungry for battery power to be effective.

I don't think an 18V battery would generate enough power to produce the kind of heat required to shrink film for more than 2 or 3 minutes. Heat is a BIG amp draw. Just like the battery powered "Cold Touch" soldering iron that Coleman makes. Yea, it works great for about 47 seconds, then the batteries are dead. (and yes, it is cool by the time your finger leaves the button and touches the tip, AMAZING!)

If your really looking for something cordless why not use a blow torch!!

Someone mentioned they used it..I figured it would last a day!! I've seen

the cooks use it on the "IRON CHEF AMERICA" heating up some fish

skin and shrunk like HP film..
