Would RecommendThis 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 - b...

Great Purchase
Would RecommendFits nearly everywhere. No cord to get tangled or hung up. Great for electrical/automotive.

Perfect for delicate work
Would RecommendThis 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.

Awesome product!!!
Would RecommendThis little heat gun amazed me! Gets super hot pretty fast. Also has a trigger lock so you don’t have to hold it back while working on that decal or project.

Worthless. No power, drains battery.
Would Not RecommendThis didn't last 10 minutes on a fully charged battery. I returned it. Worthless.

Heats hot, but doesn’t blow out enough.
Would Not RecommendAir flow is not good. Takes a really long time to cool.

Totally Useless for any/all intended use(s)
Would Not RecommendI purchased this thinking this would be absolutely perfect for a somewhat compact and portable cordless heat gun to be used for wherever I might be working on anything that might require heat shrink tubing. This heat gun is not capable of properly installing 4:1 adhesive lined heat shrink tubing, and if there’s any wind blowing whatsoever, it won’t properly shrink 2:1 non-adhesive lined heat shrink tubing. If you’re wanting this heat gun to install heat shrink tubing in the field, don’t waste y...

Not what I was expecting from DeWalt
Would Not RecommendReading 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.
