Guest Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I use the cheap $20 Ace hardware no frills heat gun and it lasts about 2 to 4 years with no issues. For $20 bucks what more can you as for. I used a milwakee and I burnt it up within 1 years. I used to have the big blue and it is in fact the best heat gun I had ever owned. I never really had time to get another one but If you want to spend the extra couple of bucks its the way to go for sure. Also the homedepot $22 dollar heat guns last a couple years as well. The heat guns arent used as much as they used to and as long as you don't slam them on the ground and take it easy as far as care and dropping etc you should be fine with any of the above heat guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I used to use this until i found this The 8975 is lighter and just a damn good heat gun! I have one of those Milwaukee ones as my secondary back-up....my primary is my old Makita. I find those Milwaukee's loud....Makita...nice and quiet.

Mpameno81 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I used to use this until i found this The 8975 is lighter and just a damn good heat gun! Same here. Mine looked just like the top one. Until we burned out 2 of them in the same week. We switched to the Milwaukee, hoooooly difference! Way nice gun, & I don't know what it is, but it made shrinking a lot easier. Nice guns are worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing24 Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Wagner ht3500 I can use it for more than just shrinking heat with different temp settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of trying two taped together... just haven't bothered Use any bit 1/4 1/2 3/8, unibit. Just wrap tape around the bit up just past where it would penetrate ( so it won't drill into the fan) too deep. Swizz cheeze that sucka across the back end opposite the nozzle.
