Wagner HT3500 Variable Temp Heat Gun

Bought this for applying vinyl on my car and it works well. Has a simple interface and seems like it will last me years without causing me any problems. Basically a hair dryer/ blow dryer on roids. Heats up very quick and has a cool down feature which I appreciate because it will keep the tool lasting longer.

Works really well. I didn't read the manual and thought it was defective when, after running on full-heat for a while, it wouldn't turn off. Turns out that it needs to run on the cool setting for a little while to cool itself down. Otherwise, you could set it down and the tip could light something on fire. Actually a pretty clever safety feature. Very pleased with the quality.

This heat gun is very versatile with its 12 temperature settings (250° - 1350° F) and with the 2 heat diffusing/focusing attachments. The wide attachment diffuses heat over a large area while the narrower attachment concentrates heat over a smaller area. You can further refine the heat dispersal by varying the distance of the heat gun to the target object. One more adjustment: fan speed can be set to low or high, too! I use this for heat shrink tubing and the heat gun is more than adequate. Heat tubing has a rated minimum of 212° - 350° F, depending on the type of tubing. I use this gun on > 350° F + the narrow attachment + low fan for my heat shrink tubing and managed to get the tubing to shrink very uniformly, quickly, and easily. It's very lightweight though not quite compact (about the size of a hair dryer). The temp depends on (i) fan speed (indicated by LED low or high) and (ii) level (indicated by LED scale): (1) on the low fan speed: level 1 is 250° F level 2 is 450° F level 3 is 650° F level 4 is 750° F level 5 is 950° F level 6 is 1150° F (2) on the high fan speed: level 1 is 350° F level 2 is 550° F level 3 is 750° F level 4 is 950° F level 5 is 1150° F level 6 is 1350° F --- This is a very versatile heat gun with a very useful temperature range, dual fan speeds, and two diffusing/focusing attachments for a variety of applications. It more than meets the requirements for my needs.

While this is by no means a "top of the line" device, it definitely gets the job done, and the temperature controller is a very nice option. It only comes with the two accessory nozzles pictured, but they seem to fit the heat gun and work the way they are supposed to. I think this is probably the best heat gun you can get for less than fifty dollars.

Iv only used this a couple times so far but its worked perfectly each time. Heats up super quick and the cool downs just as fast. The dual settings make this tool very versatile for any job!

This tool replaced a heat gun that I owned for many years. As it turns out, this purchase with the modern updates is far superior to the tool replaced. Glad I made the purchase.

I bought this heat gun for what may be considered an unconventional use: lighting my lump charcoal for the grill. This thing worked perfectly. It did exactly what I was hoping it could do. I put the heat and fan setting on high and in just a few moments I had a nice flame going. Not only does it ignite the coals but the blowing hot air does a great job stoking the fire and spreading it to the entire pile of coals. I have a traditional electric coal starter but trying this out, it worked much faster and was more efficient.

What did I ever do before I had this heat gun. Very pleased. In the first couple of weeks, I have used it to form (flare) pvc pipe, heat a difficult to install bike tire and it stretched just enough to fit without prying with a tool, to warm a can of glue (on a cold day) for a mirror installer at my house and to remove dealership stickers on the back of two cars. A tool / investment that you will use ... over and over and over ... again.

Tengo usándolo ya algo de tiempo y opera bastante bien. Los controles están muy bien pensados, Los materiales están en buen estado y sigue operando adecuadamente. Muy Recomendable.
