Best heat gun

[TintDude]

I proved a theory I had years ago and this seems like an appropriate place to post it.

Outside of physical damage ( running over a heatgun, dropping it, etc) I figured out what the number 1 issue was for going through cheap heatguns so fast: it was when doing back windows. It's turned on too long for a back window . About 10 yrs ago I bought 4 guns for the shop. 1 for the left side , 1 for the right side of the car and 2 guns permanently strapped together for the back window. With each gun not getting "too much use" , they last much much longer than just 4x as long. The average time a back window takes for me to shrink is about 3min. With the dual guns. It's my thought that when a cheap gun runs into say 5 min or more, the gun takes the most internal beating thereby frying itself much earlier than need be.

10 yrs later, the original 2 guns strapped together for back windows are the cheaply Wagners and still running strong.

This isn't to convert people but rather just showing what I think killls a cheap heatgun

I bet you save some time too having one on each side.

Yes , I prefer shorter extension cords and a gun on each side

Am I the only one that hasn't run over a heat gun? I must be special.........

I think I have run over 4 heat guns, a couple drop lights, & one time a sat a car down on a cordless drill.

Blind from the neck down, lol!

Twenty two bucks and it still throws heat.

Just saying

I leave my cheap wagner ones running on high a lot of the time in winter and on low even more. I stand them up on end. Will get two years average at this point out of them. They get killed when kicked or dropped and still hot.

Never ran over one
