Description

We spent hours researching the best products available before purchasing the most promising heat guns to put through our comprehensive testing. We rated and ranked products head-to-head, comparing their heating performance and capabilities, user-friendliness, ergonomics, and included accessories. We tested performance through a set of practical applications like shrinking heat-shrink tubes onto wiring, stripping paint, and bending PVC pipe. This is an exceptional, ergonomic, cordless option with heating performance that rivals top corded models Heat guns require little maintenance. You really only need to keep the nozzle and heat element free of dust. Consult the instructions manual for any other maintenance information. Can a heat gun melt solder? If you are focused more on crafts or smaller projects and are hoping to spend as little as possible on a heat gun, then we think the Homidic Mini is a great, inexpensive option. This compact product is great for crafts and smaller projects with lower-temperature requirements, like shrinking plastic, removing bubbles, or setting up embossing powders. It's lightweight, fairly comfortable to hold, and features a long, 6'6" power cord for maximum versatility. It also has a fold-down metal stand to keep the hot end elevated while cooling down or for hands-free operation.

The main differences are that cordless models are typically unable to achieve the same peak temperatures as corded models, are not rated in watts, and runtime is dependent on the capacity rating of a battery (measured in amp hours, or Ah.)The Wagner Furno 300 is a great option if you need a solid heat gun on a budget. This workhorse offers two different temperature settings integrated with two specific blower settings. With a maximum temperature of 1000°F, it offers more than enough heat to melt adhesives and strip paint, but it can also handle lower-heat DIY crafts. The all-plastic handle has a molded texture for better grip than comparable budget models, and its 6'6" cord is longer than many other models we tested. The cord also has a handy, integrated hanging loop for storage. The included accessories include a couple of different styles of scrapers that attach directly to the barrel of the heat gun. These make short work of any painted or varnished surface. Ideal for stripping paint, varnish, adhesives and heating metal pipes and solder, for lighting barbecues, thawing frozen water pipes, bending and shaping metal and loosening rusted or seized nuts. Rusty, corroded bolts and screws can be difficult to turn. Heat from a heat gun will cause the metal to expand, making them easier to loosen. Shrink Wrapping

Yes. Most, if not all, heat guns are capable of melting solder. In fact, some people use a heat gun in place of a soldering iron because it uses less electricity and fits in confined spaces. What’s the difference between a torch, soldering iron, and heat gun? A heat gun’s features affect its performance. Here are some specifications to consider as you’re selecting a model for your use. Wattage Some heat guns come with an adjustable fan to control how fast hot air discharges. Speed works in tandem with temperature to provide a customizable heat source. For example, more precise projects, such as heating circuitry, may call for a high-heat, low-speed setting, whereas heating a large wallpapered surface may require a higher fan speed. Nozzle Type Most heat guns offer multiple temperature settings to help you with various DIY projects. The mechanism for changing the temperature varies, though. For example, your heat gun could have a dial that you turn or a button that you press. Fan Speed Many heat guns come with specialized nozzles that help you point the heat toward a specific area. Some of the most popular nozzles include cone nozzles that localize the heat and flat nozzles that spread the heat. Other Features

Alternatively, a corded model's power rating (measured in watts) is based on the simple A/C power calculation: Watts = Volts x Amps. The heating elements in most corded models are directly driven by the alternating current of a wall outlet. Personally I’ve owned one of these for the last few years and it’s been invaluable. I’ve used mine to strip paint, thaw external pipes in winter and even strip the adhesive from an Apple MacBook Pro when replacing the screen. Frozen pipes can be a serious problem in the winter if you live in the North or Midwest. Thankfully, heat guns are an effective way to thaw them. On a low setting, slowly and gently aim the heat gun at the pipe. Avoid blasting air at the pipe, as this could damage it. Loosening Bolts and Screws

Knowing how and when to use a torch, heat gun, and soldering iron will make various repairs and projects easier to complete. Propane torches provide powerful heat with a concentrated flame. They’re useful for heating frozen pipes and loosening tight nuts. Soldering tools are designed to solder electrical connections. Heat guns offer the most versatility, working for all of these tasks and more. Is it safe to strip lead-based paint using a heat gun? A heat gun’s wattage is a measure of its available power. In general, high-wattage heat guns can discharge air at a higher temperature. For example, one heat gun we researched reaches 1,202 degrees Fahrenheit, while another maxes out at only 572 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that while a higher-wattage heat gun may provide more heat, it also requires more electrical energy. Temperature ControlThe DeWalt 20V and the Milwaukee M18 cordless heat guns were easily the most ergonomic models tested. Each one builds on the ergonomic designs used in their respective power tool lines, which are meant to be handled by professionals all day. Each one has a rubberized coating on the pistol grip, which not only keeps the tools from slipping in your hand, but also adds a nice level of comfort. While both are very nice, the DeWalt is slightly more comfortable to hold than the Milwaukee. The trigger-style safety on the DeWalt is easier to operate than the smaller safety on the Milwaukee, which is located strangely high on the grip, making it less than ideal for large hands or operating while wearing gloves.
