Review on 🔥 BLACK DECKER HG1300 Dual Temperature Heat Gun by Fisseha Rodgers

Well, it doesn't have any fancy features, but it's light, feels good in the hand and is well balanced. It lies flat on the table without tipping over or touching the hot tip too close to the table. It also stands up fairly well on the end, but it's a lightweight tool so the cable's stiffness can cause it to fall off. It's not the world's most flexible cable, but it's not particularly bad either. It's just a light tool with all its consequences, both good and bad. On low heat, it's enough for most purposes, and there's not much noise at such settings. A high setting increases both heat and fan speed, making it sound a bit louder and hectic at high frequencies. With both settings, a certain vibration is transmitted to the hand. It's not bad, just saying it vibrates more than my more expensive professional hair dryer. The only general downside I can think of is that the switch had a clear rubber cover which made the switch difficult to operate, but thankfully(?) it fell off almost immediately. It may not have installed correctly. And I personally found the little wire stand on the handle awkward to hold, but luckily I don't have to attach it to the end so I can do without the wire thing. Similar application, I bought this thinking it would be easier to work with my portable generator than my more powerful pro gun which, like most (all?) variable temperature guns, will turn on the heating element after about a minute- and turns off hour. Seconds interval to maintain the selected heating power. It works great on a large mains powered circuit, but on a smaller circuit the light on the same circuit will dim according to the cycles of the heating element and this is an even bigger problem on a small generator. In this respect, it is much more practical to only have two always-on settings. The only downside is that with this heat gun, a low setting has a poor power factor. For example, at high frequencies, both watts and volt-amperes are around 1400, and at low frequencies, while the power drops to around 550, V/A stays around 1000. And V/A determines the final output of a small generator. Therefore, this heat gun is not as gentle on the generator as if it had a better power factor at low RPM. The same applies to inverter operation. None of this is of much practical importance when running offline, so it won't matter to most people, but it's worth considering for offline applications. Nevertheless, stable 1000 V/A is still much gentler on the generator than switching between 1600 and 0 V/A every second. And in the end, this is a pretty nice little heat gun for the money.
