 The Best on the Market October 15, 2005

Don't waste your time with any other heat gun. The Makita is the best by far. The temperature adjustment knob is a little bit of a pain to use, but other than that it has the best heat of all the other guns I have used. I used mine to strip all the paint off the exterior of a 2000 sq. ft. bungalow and it is still going strong. I burned up a cheap Harbor Freight model after about 25 hours. I also used the Milwaukie, but it just didn't seem to heat up the paint as well as the Makita. Stripping paint is a boring, tedious job, so treat yourself right and get the job done faster so you can drink beer and watch the grass grow.

Hand down best heat gun on the market. Can't beat the price and durability. This is my second one, had the first for over 8 years, used it just about everyday on the job. Only getting a new one because my co-worker had to move, and TOOK the gun!! I can't blame him though.. if you dont have one, get one.

The $87 price is the only reason this heat gun is not at the top of the best sellers list.
If Makita ever discontinues this item I will be very cross with them.
Pros:
- gets hot enough to melt solder (yes, you can solder copper pipe without flame)
- gets hot fast
- adjustment wheel provides many heat settings (gentle enough to thaw frozen faucets with plastic parts)
- great ergos (easy to hold and turn on/off with one hand)
- thick power cord indicator or true heat capability
Cons:
- accessories not included and expensive
- two accessories discontinued
Discontinued:
110751-A Wide Angle Slit Nozzle for lap welding
110720-A Plastic Welding Nozzle
Still available:
110730-A Large Reflector Nozzle for directing flow around pipes
110702-A 3" Surface Nozzle for heating large areas
110706-A 3/8" Reduction Nozzle for small area air flow
110746-A 3/8" Reflector Nozzle for heat shrink tubing and activating solder in wire connectors
Since Amazon doesn't carry them, I recommend homelumbercom.com (not a typo) as a good source for the remaining accessories.
5 out of 5 stars.

We have tried just about every heat gun on the market and I can honestly say that this is the "go-to gun". It is dependable, long lasting, and can withstand plenty of abuse.

I liked the heat gun but after a year or two of use the plastic around the nozzle melted. I use it for coffee roasting which had the gun blowing into a stainless steel bowl so perhaps the air flow was not typical. If you are going to use the gun in a container that will 'reflect' the air flow, perhaps you would be better served with a gun with less plastic.
