This has shown to be a great product, very well made, light and powerful and easy to set the temperature with the dial at end of body and fan 2 speeds on handle. But best of all was the fabulous price. Currently only a $5.00 difference from the 1800 watt vs. the 1200 watt, both looked good but for $5 I went for the big guns and am pleased. I strongly recommend Grizzly.

Well, I went to use this tool this morning and low and behold, it doesn't produce heat. This tool is perhaps 2 years old and has at most 4 hours of use on it. I use it as a woodworker hobbyist drying out stains, etc. It worked fine and I was very impressed with this tool before today but today I am reminded that this tool has broken before the end of it's usefull life just like my Grizzly 18V cordless drills have. Do yourself a favor and buy a Milwaukee or other brand unless you like to purchase your tools twice.

I am glad I've never purchased a major tool from Grizzly such as a bandsaw, table saw or shaper based on the quality of the electric power tools that they sell. This was and will be my last purchase from Grizzly in the electric tool dept.

Good luck to you all in your quest.

This product was everything I expected and more, I would recomend this product for anyone looking for a heat gun.

So I was looking for a Heating Gun, to use for shrink wrap and i looked over a lot and over viewed the reviews on each. This one stood out, for multiple reasons: one it was inexpensive, two it had good reviews of it's own, and three i liked the company name :). I wont be using this gun constantly, and would probably recommend others who purchase this product to do the same. This product is good, no doubt, but i have a feeling that it requires rest, and constant use without rest may wear it out. I read over the bad reviews and one hinted to this possible problem; HE HAD BOUGHT IT -> USED <-. I would buy it new, (its cheap) and don't wear it out, let it cool down and re use in like 5 minutes from cool down, (thats for long use): in my case I'm not using it that long each time so I don't have to do that. Overall I would say the product is great.

Bought this item to vaporize plant materials. It doesn't work. It does not get hot enough. Buy the Makita version instead. It is way more money, but works great. Gotta go it's 420...somewhere.
