I ordered a Dewalt because I use their tools and have the batteries. I was expecting a Dewalt level of goodness, and I got “meh.” I had been using a cheap corded heat gun from harbor freight, so perhaps the issue here is that comparing corded to cordless is apples to oranges. However, the Dewalt is wildly underpowered in my opinion. Even on high, the blown air barely reaches 4 inches from the device, so if I need to heat gun something (generally epoxy) I have to have it right up against the item to get a result, whereas the cheapo heat gun blows like a hair dryer, and will set off the smoke alarms if I’m not careful. On the Dewalt I can barely discern the difference between the high and low settings, beyond it being noisier on high. Also the 5 amp hour battery gets chewed through in record time compared to the usage in drills and jigsaws and such. It does get hot and blows air (kinda) so 3 stars for meeting the minimum of the product description. Maybe my expectations are off, but this is a dud in my eyes. UPDATE: mere hours after I posted this review, I saw that the Project Farm guy on YouTube released a heat gun comparison video (if he had done it a bit sooner he could have saved me the money I spent on this silly piece of nonsense). I recommend a viewing: he specifically points out the differences between corded and cordless, though it’s worth noting that even with the corded Dewalt heat gun, he mentions that it doesn’t push much air. The cheapo I have from harbor freight is the Warrior, for frame of reference. It’s also what I will be using while this Dewalt model collects dust. Really the only advantage to this cordless heat gun is that it’s cordless. Read more

Based on some of the other reviews I read I decided to do a bit of testing on my own. I first used a 1.3ah slim battery with it and observed the heat output and fan speed on both high and low settings. Then I installed the provided 5ah battery and the output was significantly different. The heat output almost doubled and the fan speed was noticeably faster on both the high and low settings. I then used a 9ah battery and the difference was much more subtle, almost undetectable. As for length of use per charge I think those that expected this to be used for lengthy projects like stripping paint or heating vinyl will be disappointed, this isn't meant to replace a corded heat gun for those applications. I think this fits very well in the intermittent use category often associated with heat shrink tubing, sticker pealing, and other short duration applications. Read more

Really easy to use and light weight only thing 5ah battery doesn't last that long 6ah seems to be best but a 10ah last the longest so far but the weight makes it rough Read more
