6 56FT Long Heat Gun Uptdae Version Homidic Mini Handheld Hot Air Gun Electric 300W Portable Heat Gun

This Hot Air Gun is very handy and easy to use. The listing description does not mention air temperatures, so I made measurements. I think this device was made primarily for use with the clear shrink wrap film (shown at the left in the first photo) that is often used to seal product packages. For that, it works very well. It might work well for the large, thin, colored heat shrink tubing made for wrapping battery pack assemblies. It also works nicely for small to medium diameters of electrical heat shrink tubing like the products made by Raychem, Sumitube, and others. I bought it specifically for that application. (Small dia is shown in the first photo.) You need to get fairly close to the tubing, within about 5 cm, but this is helpful, making it easy to control the shrink without overheating nearby parts. It will remelt hot melt glue if you get close enough for long enough. The nozzle is not made for use with a wrap-around heat deflector like the ones that sometimes come with heat guns specifically intended for heat shrink tube. The temperature profiles are shown in the photos (in °C) measured with a tiny thermocouple; 217° in the center and 38° near the nozzle edge at 3cm distance, and 101° at 10cm distance. This device is compact and lightweight, making it easy to fit in a tool kit. The internal heating coils glow faintly red in operation and the air flow volume is good. There is no cool down mode (fan on, heater off); it is all or none, but this seems to work fine with no risk of overheating. There is a cool air bypass that flows along the inside of the red nozzle shield to keep it cool during operation. This looks like a well designed product. Recommended. Read more

Works perfectly. I love that the cord is long and I don’t need to worry about having an outlet close. It heats up quickly. I’m using it for watercolor and if my painting is a bit too wet with pools of water, it will push those pools. However, in those cases, I just hold it further away. Read more

Use when crafting and need to dry my paint projects quickly. Works great! Read more

Not nearly as hot as my similarly priced HF heat gun, which is a good thing. In laymen temps, it's about as hot as a hairdryer when you cover the back fan with your hand. (Before it triggers the thermal safety shutdown. 😂) I think it could benefit from a smaller nozzle adapter, but it works well and the very hot center of the airflow is actually quite small, so small movements are enough to prevent burning, melting, etc. (Normal heat gun would require waving across the area, as opposed to small circles within the area.) Take the screw out of the cowling and twist until you can pull it off. The cowling locks on Ibuprofen bottle style without the screw and is easy to remove. Over 1 minute continuous I'd remove it unless you're really worried about hitting the tip on your work. It cools down much faster without it. Pro: Perfect for 3d printing (FDM cleanup, resin heating, FDM/SLA support removal), sticky stuff cleanup, heat shrink, paint/art projects, glue/cure Cheap Small Perfectly underpowered Con: This won't hot air solder. (Probably.) Not for high temp heat gun applications. (No peeling paint, etc.) Could use a few nozzle size/shape options No temp control Read more

Not much to add beyond the title. The tool works well and the price is fantastic. The machine fans are loud. Overall, I'm really happy with the purchase as the price is great and it works well for the limited time I use it. If I used it more often, is probably get a provider one that rooms quieter.
