With its included deflector, it works perfectly on heat shrink solder connectors. So much faster and EASIER than using a butane lighter. And far less likely to cause collateral damage. I recently finished installing a head unit in a vehicle. Initially i used my larger Harbor Freight heat gun, which is good for certain projects, but lacks finesse for wiring projects, especially where multiple wires are involved, or in crowded areas. I switched to a butane torch for a few connections, before deciding to purchase this heat gun, which arrived prior to my finishing the project. Hands down, it's the best tool i've used for heat shrink solder connectors. This gun, almost the moment i turned it on, produced sufficient heat to shrink the tubing and melt the solder. I was surprised by how quickly it worked; i had expected more of a lag, based on my experience with my larger heat gun, which requires more time to heat up. I had used its high setting, although the lower setting may have been sufficient (don't know as of the time of this writing). With the deflector, the heat is pretty well distributed all the way around the tubing, not really requiring rolling the wire to ensure uniform heating, which is good because i often don't have a sufficient number of hands to do that. This gun does have an integrated wire stand, so in certain situations can act as a third hand. The smaller size of this gun, with its commensurate reduced airflow, means it can be used in more confined spaces without nearly as much collateral damage of larger guns. It's a matter of choosing/having the correct tool for the task. Larger guns have their place and purposes. Given the relatively low cost of this compact heat gun, it was worth it to me to add it to my toolkit. Likely, i will use this gun more often than my larger gun, now that i have it. A feature missing from this heat gun (and all i've ever used, but have found on some hair driers) is a cooldown mode. Not only would it help to extend the life of the product, it would also be an important safety feature for a product like this. All which would be required is a switch setting to run the fan without heat. So i do have concerns about longevity of this product. (Running it on low for several seconds can help cool it somewhat from the high setting.) An active cooldown mode would allow the gun to be put away more quickly too, without the need of long passive cooldown times. I would deduct a star or two for the lack of this safety feature, if i was aware of any other heat gun having a cooldown mode. It really ought to be a standard feature for heat guns.

I purchased this heat gun as I am a card maker and I have started incorporating watercolors with my cards. I was using a blow dryer but that was cumbersome and two forceful on the low setting, this heat gun does the job and cuts down on drying time which gives me more time to make more cards. I like the two settings. It is lightweight for my arthritic cans, I like the stand so it keeps the heated part off of surfaces and I really appreciate the heat guard, I popped it right on after I've used it so I don't accidentally brush up against it and burn myself. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Great handy tool to have on hand and inexpensive. Easy to use and works as advertised.

It came already used. You can tell by the tip being brown already, which in the manual it says that’s normal from using it. Other than that, it works pretty good. Gets hot quick, and doesn’t blow an insane amount of air so it didn’t blow wax out of the container that bad. Super easy to use. Can’t complain for the price.

Works perfectly for water color painting! Dries quickly

Works great, super easy to use, heats up quickly great value and design. I got this for painting and it works great!

Easy to use, do their job. I use it to remove wax from pysanky.

I have a Bosch heat gun but I wanted something smaller and not quite as hot to use for crafts. This heat gun is light but the nozzle is metal. On low setting the heat is similar to a hair dryer. On high it's hot enough to use on shrink tubing, you definitely can't hold your hand in front of it on the high setting Overall good at this price point.

The heat gun is small, but it does the job snd at a lower pricr.

Buena herramienta, es de muy poco peso y calienta muy bien y rápido.

good product

Brilliant gun does get hot just remember not to touch the hot bit. I used it for shrink wrap cables but could also be used for other things

Es ligera y coge la temperatura rápido. Cumple a la perfección su función No es muy ruidosa. Diseño elegante
