Review on πŸ”₯ Makita HG6530VK Heat Gun Kit with LCD Digital Display and Adjustable Temperature by Dominic Mayo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quiet, heats up quickly and cools down quickly

I bought this unit not only because it has an easy to read and adjustable digital heat display, but also because it has a 3-level airflow adjustment that includes the Rapid cooling function (position 1). The cool position cooled my heat gun down in just a few minutes, as opposed to waiting 20+ minutes when many other guns need to cool sufficiently to be stowed in a case. I must also say that I was very impressed with how quickly this hair dryer reached the temperature I set. This, along with using a wide, narrow nozzle to focus the hot air into a more concentrated area, made the job extremely easy when I used this tool to soften the glue line at the joint of two pieces of wood. and without any effort. Tree damage and I was able to get it done in less than a minute. Finally, an added nice touch is that this instrument is incredibly quiet when used on the highest airflow setting. What I didn't know is that although I've used different types of heat guns, I've never used a heat gun as quiet as this one. It was so quiet that part of me thought this quiet gun would never reach the required temperature I had set in such a short amount of time with the airflow I was using. Not only did it reach my desired temperature and it did so quietly and quickly, when I finished and turned the airflow back to position #1 the nozzle was cool enough to the touch in less than 5 minutes. Wonderful! I can't say enough about how great this tool is and it comes with a good selection of attachments too. I'm definitely glad I made the purchase. :-)
