Great for electrical

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quality feel and build, small, compatible with my existing 20V Dewalt batteries. Works well for heat shrink tubing, low-temp solder connectors, softening wire insulation and irrigation tubing.
I use this mostly for exterior lighting and audio wiring. Buried cables are using hard when dug up, this works well for softening the insulation, applying heat shrink tubing, and the low-temp solder connectors.
If you are wanting to strip paint or similar application, it isn't going to create enough air flow or heat a large area -better to stick with an A/C powered heat gun for that work.
Trigger switch has a secondary trigger to keep it from accidentally running in the bag.
An improvement Dewalt could add would be a switch to blow plain air - speed up the cool-down time (the tip is HOT). You can't just finish a job and toss in the bag.
Good tool I glad I bought
I would recommend this to a friend!

Small form factor and almost instant heat
on May 30, 2020

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little skeptical as I could not believe you can pull so much energy from the battery and have a good runtime (the laws of physics). I feel like this small tool is defying the laws of physics! I'm using for all projects that need heat - electrical jobs (shrink insulation), bending plastics, pre-heating for painting and drying paint jobs, pre-heating surfaces to promote flashing tape adhesion and much more! I really like that it heats up very quickly and the set-up is much faster than my corded heat gun.
How does it compare to corded heat gun? If you need high temperatures, use the heat gun for long time without interruption, this tool may not be the right tool.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for delicate work

This heat gun is perfect for delicate work. Example being decal removal from vehicles. It puts out just enough heat but not too much that you need to worry about damaging the factory paint near or under said decal.
The trigger system works great and comes with attachments.
If you've a rapid charger it will recharge a 4 or 5 ah battery by the time you you run out. In other words if you've a lot of heat gun work to do make sure you've got two batteries.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with this heat gun, used it to take decals off a vehicle, shrink water proof tubing, and dry paint on a project for a quicker turn over! I like the size of the tool and the heat it can produce! Very happy with this purchase! Great tool guys!

Great to have a Dewalt heat gun
on July 21, 2020

We use it to test fire alarm heat detectors at work. Quick heat and the locking trigger really help!
Our one criticism is that the com could be a little high like up to 12 vs the current 6.7.

Not what I was expecting from DeWalt
on November 29, 2021
Posted by: Rainman
from Kansas
Reading the other reviews mine must be different. I can hold it 3/4” away from shrink tubing and after about 3 min it will start to shrink it. The shields are loose and fall off all the time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
