LIVOWALNYCordless Heat Gun for M-akita18V Battery: Wireless Battery Operated - 350W 122℉-1022℉ Adjustable Battery Powered Hot Air Gun - Portable Tools for Shrink Tubing Crafts Vinyl Wrap (No Battery)

This is probably the best value for the money I have purchased on Amazon. Works like a champ, never overheats and gets hot very quickly. Word to the wise get yourself a 6v Dewalt battery and it will work with no breaks for 30 to 45 minutes. It's light, sturdy, and easy to use for everyone.

Just to be clear this is for the version with the temperature adjustment and display. There are so many reviews I've read that made me almost not get it, but the price was worth the gamble. After testing it, I'm left scratching my head at what those reviews were about. This does not match my corded Dewalt, and I never expected it to.PROs- it's much lighter than my variable temp corded dewalt- temperature/fan adjustment- gets hot enough, quickly enough to do what i need it to, (heatshrink, labels)- fan speeds are great, but no it does not match a corded dewalt. Maybe 70% at maxCONs- temp is only shown in Celsius on the display. (no mention in the manual on how to switch)

I got one to use on boat wiring projects where we use a lot of shrink tubing. It is wonderful!

Took me forever to find someone with a 20v battery, only to find thatA) I'm pretty sure an 18v would have fit all along, and I and many people I know have a number of 18v Dewalt batteries so IF that's true, had I known earlier I would have popped an 18v in and discovered what I now discovered upon popping a fully charged 20v onto the heat gun, which was that:B) this heat gun puts out NO air & doesn't even heat up in the SLIGHTEST. It makes NO NOISE AT ALL, yet the LCD lights up & you can see the settings change on the LCD when you make settings adjustements on either the tool OR screen... yet NO AIR & NO HEAT WORK - MEANING, ITS A DOA GUN WITH 'EVERYTHING' WORKING EXCEPT THE HEAT AND THE AIR... HENCE SORRY NOT SORRY TO LEAVE THIS VERY NEGATIVE REVIEW FOR THIS WORKING NON WORKING WANNbe heat gun... I have a time sensitive AND temperature sensitive project I would have been able to handle last week when it was in the 40s and no snow, ice or even dampness outside...Since amazon couldn't get their act together though on other tools I ordered for same job, (were not delivered on schedule), I now 3 days later STILL am unable to do the work, and it's down in the 20s with PLENTY of snow fallen ontop of TWO DAYS OF RAIN...IF THIS FRIGGIN HEAT GUN WOULD SIMPLY WORK FOR ABOUT 5 WHOLE MINUTES ID BE DONE... BUT NOPE. AND I CANT USE MY HIGH QUALITY CORDED STEINEL GUN BECAUSE THERES NO POWER OUTLET AVAILABLE WHERE I NEED TO DO THE REPAIR AT...(ENTERPRISING CRACK HEADS DRILLED A HOLE IN THE METAL FUEL TANK OF MY 27FT BOX TRUCK TO STEAL WHAT LITTLE GAS I HAD IN THE BOTTOM OF THE MASSIVE TANK, SO CANT DRIVE IT OR EVEN MOVE IT TILL I PATCH IT, YET CANT NOW PATCH IT CAUSE AMAZONA) TOTAlly SCREWED ME ON DELAYED ARRIVAL OF OTHER TOOLS,ANDB) SENT THIS HEAT GUN, WHICH ALBEIT ON TIME, SHOWED UP DOA - DOESNT EVEN WORK AT ALL.THANKS YET AGAIN TO AMAZON!!

The heat gun worked fine, and has several nice attachments included. My one complaint is that you need two hands to activate the safety and the trigger to turn on the heat gun. This was extremely difficult since I was in the trunk of my car trying to heat shrink a weather proof butt connector.

This is only powerful enough to do heatshrink. This is not for high temp things like solder sleeves. It will do solder sleeves,, but takes forever to get things hot enough. It _IS_ very convenient! Soo much better than dragging extention cords out and putting them away. Again small item heat shrink it is perfect. I use it on heat shrink for switches and wire.

This tool has been a life saver, it works perfectly with my dewalt 20v line of tools. The ability to control the fan speed is a nice feature. I really only use one tip, because I use this for helping remove the bubbles from the epoxy resin work that I do. This has also worked for helping "reshape" the random plastic pieces that I have, that need some encouragement to get back to its "functional" intention.

I have been using this (single temperature) unit for a few wiring/heat shrink jobs, and it has performed flawlessly. At first, there was the burning smell (typical for Chinese'ium heating products), but that quickly went away after a couple uses. This does use quite a bit of battery capacity, but that's also to be expected from a battery powered heater. With an aftermarket knockoff dewalt 6 ah battery, I could heat shrink about 10-12x 2 inch length heat shrink tubing for 8-10 awg wires. Given I used a knockoff battery, it's probably only 3 to 4 ah in reality.

Does what it’s supposed to do.

I like the price, item works great and heats up quickly, works great for my needs. The addon pieces that attach to the nozzle are great and fit nice and tight. I have not used the item alot yet but it has served the purpose well. I bet my wife would take this to dry her hair when we go camping off grid. :)

Good for basic plumbing.

This heat gun offers the ability to control your heat digitally in both the High range and low range. It also allows you to adjust the fan speed in those zones too. This is unique among the tools I looked at. Most (including the name brand) offer High and Low and that changes the fan speed too. This one lets you have low heat mode and a stepped fan speed from low to high in both High and Low heat zones. For the price, that is a neat feature. I have two complaints that are not really deal breakers for the price. First noticed, the display. I tried out two units and they both have the same issues on the edge of the display. It seems when they pop the display into its housing, it distorts slightly. You can see the edge has that distortion, or blemish. I sent one back to Amazon thinking it was shipping damage, or perhaps defective, but the new one arrived with same thing on the other side of the display. I decided for the price and the features, I can live with that. The second potential issue is this: Dewalt batteries popped in no problem at all. My brand new Amazon purchased after market 6ah batteries did not. The would slide in to about 1cm left and would not budge. After examining other Dewalt tools, I noticed that the heat gun had an extra bit of plastic on the end in the slide channel. The battery would not slide past those. The Dewalt ones no issue, but for some reason, my 6ah ones would not. Quick exacto trim of the little tiny L shaped lip on both sides and good to go. If other reviews mention the battery doesn't fit, this very simple clipping of a few mm of plastic and no problem with my aftermarket battery.That being said, the tool itself works very well and has a good quality feel (except my complaint about the display). For this heat gun, the added display and digital controls make it a great addition to the tool set. Can't speak for longevity tests yet. The only other disappointment was that it was not yellow. I expected yellow when it arrived, but as pictured and as advertised, it is grey. Looks great with my aftermarket batteries that are all black. The accessories that it comes with are also an added bonus for the price. Every attachment you need. They fit on perfectly, and are of good grade steel (subjectively). They are solid. I'm pleased with this tool given the cost and the features you get for it. If you want it to be pristine on arrival, it won't arrive that way. The tool is bubble wrapped, as are the accessories, but they are free to bounce around in the box. The first display also had a scratch on it from transit I think.

Bought this cordless battery operated heat gun to keep in my truck during the winter to thaw locks that freeze up. Seems to work great for that. Using a propane torch before but that risked discolouring the paint on the trailer surfaces behind the locks.Thinking it will be handy for heat shrink tubing as well but haven’t tried it for that yet.
