5.0 out of 5 stars Versatile tool, good value, but not contractor grade, August 5, 2009

This is a very handy tool to have. Unlike many other heat guns, you can easily dial down the heat so you can safely use it for delicate materials or crank it up for paint stripping. The temperature range, as listed by B&D, is 100 to 1,100 degrees. I think the upper end is a bit optimistic - after using it, I would estimate the top temperature at about 850 to 900. It has a two speed fan.

I don't use a heat gun often but, when I do, I need one that is flexible enough for jobs ranging from defrosting a freezer, to softening caulk for removal, and all the way up to stripping paint from outdoor furniture. This is the only one I've found that offers that broad of a temperature range at a reasonable price. Used it several times, and it works great. Lots of attachments for controlling the heat spread, plus a set of scrapers for getting the softened paint off. It also includes a plastic carry case with inserts to hold all the attachments securely.

There's another model out there called the HomeRight C800552. It is identical to the B&D model other than for color. The B&D has a 2 year warranty; the HomeRight has a 1 year warranty. Take a look at both to see if there's any price differential before you put in your order.

As with any B&D product, it is not contractor-grade, or even heavy-duty homeowner grade. If you have lots of paint stripping to do, or you expect to use your heat gun frequently for long stretches of time, invest in a more capable tool such as the line made by Milwaukee. You'll pay a lot more, but you'll get a lot more tool as well. This model is intended for light homeowner use and, as such, is a great value for the price and a very handy tool to have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Black & Decker Var. Temp 2-Speed Heat Gun w/Tools & Case, October 3, 2009

Great price for a variable temperature, 2-speed heat gun with tools and case. I believe this kit is ideal for general purpose use. Having variable temperature and 2-speed capability is critical, and the temperature setpoint LED indicators are very useful user feedback that assist in avoiding unintended damage. The tools included in the kit greatly widen the usefulness of the heat gun for additional applications that would otherwise be difficult or impossible without makeshift adapters, and the case provides convenient, organized storage, and includes individual nests for each tool to keep them from flopping around. Somebody was really thinking when they designed this kit, having covered all the bases. This kit is perfect for my needs.

Given my generally low opinion of Black & Decker, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this kit when it arrived. It is suitable for everything from low-temp shrink wrap to melting solder. VERY well made with properly designed controls and more fittings than I will likely ever use.
