Good tool for what it's made for
on July 9, 2022
Posted by: yungingr
This is a nice compact & portable heat gun for small jobs, especially where dragging a power cord would be inconvenient. I've used it to repair breaks in our underground dog fence, and my wife has used it for some vinyl stencil work in her crafting (I've also used it to release bubbles in epoxy resin pours).
Compared to my corded heat gun, it does not produce NEAR the volume of air, and I haven't compared max temps between the two. I'd say they're probably close enough it doesn't matter - but the air volume I did find a little disappointing. You're not going to work quick with this tool, but for some applications, that's okay.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Watch Paint Dry
on July 21, 2020

I am a chainsaw sculptor and I finish my carvings with paint and stain. When painting eagle heads and concentrating on the eyes, I used to have to wait to be able to paint a different color. I figured I would try the heat gun. A Flexvolt on there and I cut the finish time down by hours. I have it as my 'go to' for finishing now. You can literally watch paint dry.

Good Tool

It did the job I was wanting to get done. It took a bit longer than I expected do to the fact The fan could’ve been a bit stronger. The compact design was nice. The led light was nice but wasn’t necessary, to have an option to turn it off would be a plus. Other than that, a Great product.

Great Heat Gun For Small Projects
on July 27, 2021
Posted by: MrDIYWarrior
from North Carolina
This is a great heat gun for small and quick projects. I purchased it to dry small areas of paint, wet drywall, shrink wrap, as well as for other miscellaneous projects around my home. It doesn't disappoint. It heats up fast, gets as hot as advertised and the safety and continuous trigger lock make it comfortable to use and prevent accidental triggering. The build is what I expect from DeWalt. The grip is comfortable, the gun itself doesn't get hot, it feels solid and isn't too heavy(though 4+ Ah batteries make it significantly heavier).
My only complaint is that it drains batteries fast (less than 15 mins continuous use on a 4 Ah fully charged battery), the heater parts stay hot well after use and the gun can't stand up without the battery. However, I do think DeWalt compensated for the hot issue by including lots of rubber parts including side bumpers that keep the hot parts off of surfaces. The gun would just need to cool before storing away.
I would recommend this to a friend!
