5.0 out of 5 stars The Best on the Market, October 14, 2005

Don't waste your time with any other heat gun. The Makita is the best by far. The temperature adjustment knob is a little bit of a pain to use, but other than that it has the best heat of all the other guns I have used. I used mine to strip all the paint off the exterior of a 2000 sq. ft. bungalow and it is still going strong. I burned up a cheap Harbor Freight model after about 25 hours. I also used the Milwaukie, but it just didn't seem to heat up the paint as well as the Makita. Stripping paint is a boring, tedious job, so treat yourself right and get the job done faster so you can drink beer and watch the grass grow.

Hand down best heat gun on the market. Can't beat the price and durability. This is my second one, had the first for over 8 years, used it just about everyday on the job. Only getting a new one because my co-worker had to move, and TOOK the gun!! I can't blame him though.. if you dont have one, get one.

We have tried just about every heat gun on the market and I can honestly say that this is the "go-to gun". It is dependable, long lasting, and can withstand plenty of abuse.
