What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
This heat gun gets hot enough to shrink heat-shrink tubing perfectly. It is so small that you can keep it on your bench and use it whenever you have anything to unsolder. It gets hotenough to actually do some light smd solder work with the included ti... Read More
The temperature is easy to set, and the fan speed has a simple knob to adjust it. Ditto with the temperature control.

Highlights
Quality
Instant heat great craftmanship and product
I wa wasnt expecting much but it is a decent product
I bought this with intention of using with the low temp solder seal connectors that have lead and heat shrink tubing all in one
Packaging/appearance
With digital i can safely dial in the perfect temp so i dont melt the shrink wrap or start burning the polyolefin
Competitiveness
There is simply no better tool available for heatshrink tubing
Most hotair guns sold at big box stores generate a large volume of hot air but it is not hot enough to properly shrink heatshrink tubing
One thing to know is that when you shut it off the blower continues to run for 30 seconds or so so the heat element doest burn out

However the fan is so very faint even on the highest setting it didnt even move the resin which was not a good thing for me in that i needed this to do ocean waves in resin and part of that is getting that white foamy effect of waves rolling up on the sand
