Review on 🔥 Astro 9426 Industrial Heavy Duty Heat Gun: Powering through Tough Jobs with Precision by Khiam Burton

I purchased this item to blow paint and heat up old sealant based on overall positive reviews. Pros: * Good build quality. * Stand included. to be able to use the tool during installation on a workbench.* Extremely simple operation. Toggling to the "on" position turns on the fans at one speed and all heaters. It is not possible to change the number of heaters switched on; You adjust the vent flap to regulate the temperature. Cons: *Made in China (isn't that all?) *The temperature rating on the nameplate reads 1000°F - 1100°F. However, the owner's manual states the temperature range is 500 - 750°F. I have not directly measured the temperature range at the nozzle to support any claims. * Air flow is quite sufficient; I wish for more volume. However, more airflow requires more heating power to maintain the temperature; The tool is already rated for 13 amps at 110 VAC, which is the limit for household outlets. Notes: * There is only one fan speed; "on the". However, the temperature of the surface to be heated can be easily adjusted by changing the distance from the nozzle. * The temperature of the exiting air is controlled by throttling the airflow with the fan flap, which means that the temperature increases when the airflow decreases. But that also means that higher temperatures have even less airflow in the nozzle. The best use of this tool seems to be for applications such as: B. blowing small patches of paint and heating shrink wire insulation where precise nozzle temperature control is not important. Applications that require narrow temperature ranges, such as B. softening various types of PVC and plastics without melting, require a tool with a higher temperature accuracy than this. And for fairly fast bubbles on large areas of color, such as B. Wood paneling, propane gas is best.
