Likely heat shrink tubing for electrical work.

Yes, it uses electricity by way of resistance to generate heat. There is a fan to output the heated air.

This would not carry the fire risk of a butane torch and it is more forgiving than an open flame.

You say all of these things in a way that suggests you've never heard of or used a heat gun before.

Thank you. while the deal is tempting, I'll pass. I'm convincing myself I don't need a new tool.

Quote from FeistyKite520 :
I'm curious how it generates heat, is it simply an electric heater run by the battery? Is there a possibility that a compressor combined with the heater could somehow save energy and allow you to heat it up better..would this tool not better be a butane powered tool? I do think a mini butane torch could do a better job

Do you really think they're going to make a heat pump equipped heat gun? And that a heat pump could reasonably be expected to generate the level of heat needed for a heat gun? And that the tool would be under $1000?

I was going to get this but could never get it sub under 100, found this on amazon and have had it for 3 years, works great. Sometimes I even prefer my porter cable corded because I need continues heat and I hate that I cant lock the button on either unit but understand why. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C2PRM...tle_2&th=1

Fantastic if doing paint protection film, vinyl wrap, heat shrink, or since I live in Minnesota...the occasional emergency ice dam melting...

Melting ice build up on manufacturing equipment/thawing frozen pipes, drying paint, softening old paint or varnish for removal, loosening adhesives, plastic shaping or welding, drying or curing epoxy and spackle, wax projects and other crafts. I want to add that I'm an avid DIYer and own a corded heat gun…. I can only think of maybe two or three occasions that I've actually had to use it….. once was for speeding up the cure time for spackle that I used to patch up some drywall, another was to help dry up a large water spill that was on my carpet… you can use towels to get most of the water up, but there's still that residual dampness., I believe the last time I use it was to help speed up the drive time of some oil based primer on some cabinets that I was painting. Just keep in mind you're not gonna get much runtime with these battery operated heat guns. I got the Bauer from Harbor freight… the thing works like a champ and has a plethora of heat settings. Project farm did a pretty good video on these.https://youtu.be/E80-yH9uKyQ?si=J8lpaTGk24UGCV7X

Same! after reading reviews this thing seems to be pretty hit or miss. Compared to corded this thing has weak heat (lmeasured ess than 400f) and low airflow combined with quick depletion of batteries.

It's great for removing stubborn stickers and decals, loosening old paint for removal, drying paint/epoxy, softens the glue that holds electronics together for disassembly, ice removal ...
