Review on πŸ”₯ Versatile 380W BATAVIA Dual Temp Mini Heat Gun: Perfect for Crafts, Electronics Repair, Embossing, Soldering, Shrink Wrapping & More! by Eric Montgomery

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Emits smoke and turns on a SMOKE ALARM in my house!

2 CONS:1. I tested with a standard shrink wrap placed over a pocket tape measure. Even on the highest setting, it doesn't work as well (doesn't shrink as tight) as a regular hair dryer. It may be defective or simply not designed for standard shrink wrapping.2. AFTER I turned it off the nozzle started emitting smoke that wouldn't stop and that was enough to set off a LOUD and alarming first smoke detector on my ceiling! Besides my hatred of that deafening sound, he drove my dog away. out of the house through his dog flap into the backyard. I'm sorry but if I can't use it in my house, it's useless to me.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different
