Used this on many cables from 10 AWG electrical wire to network and coax cables. Works extremely well up until you get to the diameter of an RG-11 coax cable then you have to either be extremely careful or hold it slightly above the entrance as it barely fits. Heats evenly and quickly. Read more
I bought this hoping it would work for my heat gun and it does. When it arrived the end that fits on the gun was little more than 1-1/8 inches diameter. The nozzle of my gun is 1-5/8 diameter. As I looked at the piece that attaches to the gun it looked like it would fit better inserting into the end of the heat gun rather than fitting over the outside of it. I bent it out a little and sure enough it fits perfectly into the inside of the nozzle. My heat gun is just a generic Canadian Tire brand heat gun which I think is the same as many of heat guns sold under various brands. When the attachment is on the heat gun it wobbles a little if I shake it but there is no way it will come off without compressing it and pulling it out firmly. It seems to be really well designed. It tried it with some heat shrink tubing and it worked like a charm. Read more
I was looking for something like this for my harbor freight Chicago adjustable temperature heat gun and it fits and works perfectly. There was no fitment issues at all and you can easily compress the ends with your hands which is what I did to make it even a tighter fit. Worked great to control the heat in the area I needed to shrink wrap wires and wish I purchased this sooner. Read more
As with all things Steinel the nozzles are expensive. They do fit well and work as intended with no fitment issues. Works perfectly for heat shrink and soldering copper tubing. I have found that I get good results with soldering copper tubing with the heat gun vs a torch when building things in my hobby shop. No flame soldering is an advantage in some cases. Read more
This heat gun adapter made such a difference using solder seal wire connectors. Read more
Seems fin. Slightly lower quality than I would like but gets the job done. But for what it is it should be about a third the price. Read more
If you're looking for nozzle to use for heat shrink on your cordless Milwaukee heat gun, then this will fit the bill. Fits great, and works well for heat shrink. Easy to get on and off. Seems well made, and not cheap chinnesium. Really does the trick. Read more
I use this reflector for one purpose only - heat shrink and solder electrical joints. It works great! Circulates the heat around the entire wire, so I don't have to rotate it or the gun. Allows me to get into tighter spaces. I use this with this product: 75pcs Solder Seal Butt Splice Heat Shrink Butt Wire Connector Terminals Electrical Copper 1.5-6.0mm. I can heat shrink and solder all in one step! Whoa! The joints are not just good electrically, they are also waterproof. I've used this to add led lights to ponds where the connection is submerged 100% of the time. Have not had a single failure yet. Fantastic! Read more
