$20 sale? Now I'm jealous.

This is the only cable management tool I own. I despise this brand, nothing I have ever used or had from them other than has held up or been comparable to other brands. Saw this on sale for $30 and thought why not how could they mess up the heat gun? And turns out I really like it, even though I got away with a little robbery on the street and only paid $30 for it. . You can't get anything better for $20, everyone should jump on it even if you think it's useless to you. Trust me, a heat gun is…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Fits

To be honest, I had imagined the air output to be a bit higher, not exactly like a hair dryer or something, just more volume. It has a relatively gentle airflow, but the temperature control is still very efficient. The temperature appears to adjust instantly as you turn the dial, which is ideal when trying to maintain a specific but constant level of heat input. You simply increase or decrease the temperature without having to pull the heat gun away from the product to wait for the temperature…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • A bit torn

My heat gun was out of order.

I purchased this product to complete a project that requires me 450-500 feet (installing a keel guard on a small boat). I understand that this heat gun generally has good reviews, but my complaints are repeated too often. This heat gun (at full max) wobbled everywhere (depending on temperature) but spent most of the time between 150 and 220. Only once in many minutes of trying did it hit 300, in just a second. (The product has no temperature display - I used a very good portable infrared laser…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Crumpled

Perfect for the handyman - Adjustable temperature! Wow

My trusty mini heat gun had died and I needed something to satisfy my various needs. I'm a collector of hobby and crafts, and I needed something that could gently heat embossing paper, heat shrink tubing, melt plastic, help dry paint, remove paint, and everything else in between. I never buy anything and always read reviews and comments. Other heat guns here at Revain had either low or high settings, but both seemed way too high compared to my mini heat gun (about 300 watts). This heat gun has…

  • Flawed

Porter PC1500HG Heat Gun This is a great heat gun at an affordable price. I originally considered one of two DeWalt models but read a lot of conflicting reviews about them, plus the cheaper DeWalt was twice the price of this Porter cable. I've used it for drying drywall mud stains, touching up paint, and random heat shrink tubing. This one seemed to fit the bill and was a lot cheaper at $30. When I first used it, I turned it on at low speed and then at high speed. I then gradually adjusted the…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Compatibility

Great heat gun. good for heat guns

Best heat gun I've seen. My only complaint is the nozzle, and the Wagner 10355 Heatgun Nozzle Hub, https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MC54PQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, fits perfectly. is a 4-way review, perhaps most relevant to sous vide cooks: 1) heat gun, 2) burner, 3) searzall, 4) fan nozzle. suvid. When I bought it, I didn't know about the fan nozzle. However, this is a great heat gun. Cost: $28.30. Next purchase is the popular Benzomatic TS8000 torch and accompanying

Pros
  • Light 2lb gun less tiring to hold
Cons
  • unreliable
