I bought this because I am lazy. I was bending some replacement conduit and realized that it would be easier if I could do it with the power off. But my other heat gun runs in 120V. ☹️. I have Makita battery powered lights why not a Makita battery powered heat gun? I thought, while a bit unwieldy, it will do heat shrink tubing which I also usually don’t have 120V and my torch (which can also bend conduit) sometimes (often) leaves scorch marks. Totally unnecessary unless you are lazy, or are just looking for another excuse to justify owning so many Makita batteries. Read more

As many have said, this cordless heat gun does not have the power or heat output of a typical corded heat gun. If that's what you need, then you will find this tool lacking. I got this to use for fixing irrigation hoses, and bending pvc pipe. When plastic irrigation hoses are cold it's very difficult to push in or remove the barbed 1/4 inch fittings. This battery operated heat gun is perfect for this task, since it's a pain to haul around a basin of hot water to warm up the hoses, or trail a long electric cord around the yard for a corded heat gun. It also works well for bending small/medium sized pvc pipe. Read more

Very battery hungry, but when my heat went out in my van, this thing saved the day all winter! Prepare to recharge your batteries after 20- 30 minutes of run time. Seems very nicely made. Box is very heavy duty. Read more

Love Makita products but this heat gun not so much. Got it to shrink wire connectors for my lights on my truck and the heat gun doesn’t heat up very fast nor does it blow enough air out the heat gun. It does work but at least takes a minute yes 60 seconds longer than my plug in heat gun. I am keeping it because it does work and I hate working on something and have to get an extension cord and find a place to plug it in. Anything I do that I will be prewiring on the bench I will be using old reliable 110 volt heat gun. Anything outside I will use this Makita. If you want lots of air and quick heat this is not for you! Read more

I bought this product for my Dad, who does residential construction. What a great gift! He loves it! He’s been using a heat gun with a cord for years and it can sometimes be an ordeal to find electricity on the job site or to run a cord to reach where you need to work! Good bye cords, hello simplicity! Read more

Works as it should. Puts out great heat. Read more

This heat gun is very nice for small applications but does NOT heat to high temperature at 1,022°F. I will keep but can only use if for smaller jobs. Does not work for larger applications like shrink wrap on a radiator hose. Read more
