Failed to load media. I bought this heat gun because it was cheap and all I wanted was to finally have something better than a shrink tube lighter. It's perfect for that. It heats up quickly, gets hot enough to do what I want, and cools down quickly when I'm done. For the video example, he shrunk the self-adhesive tubing so well that I couldn't even break the metal rods with quite a bit of force. It turns out that in addition to shrinking tubing, it also does a good job of drying epoxy quickly. In my case I used it on BSI BSI-202 Quick-Cure 5 Minute Epoxy which usually does a good job when cured at room temperature and even more amazing when I heat it up a bit with this gun.
