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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Seemed like a good tool at first

Heat gun seemed great. It was light, comfortable to hold, and appeared to be made of decent materials. In addition, it heats up quickly. However, I used it for a project and didn't really get the unit to work hard, just set the temp to around 500F. After a while I noticed that selecting "High Speed" didn't change anything anymore. Any speed now. Low, high and cool blew at the same speed. One could even say that the speed of the engine has not changed any more. I have no idea what happened but I quickly sent it back. I really liked the tool and would buy another one if I felt it would work as expected. Considering the cost of this tool, I didn't expect that there would be problems within the first hour of use. Maybe I'll return to one of Wagner Furno's departments. At least they cost a lot less than this one, so my expectations aren't that high.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic
