This is a great tool. It doesn't have the temp gauge like the fancier version, but you can sneak up on the right temp by observation pretty well. It gets HOT! I do wish it had a little protruding stand on one side as part of the case or something, so you could lay it on it's side. You can stand it on the fan end with the wire bracket at the end of the handle, but it tends to fall over with the smallest bump. I will probably rig something up so I can lay it on the side. I like the attachments and the case and the tool is rock solid with a heavy cord. You get what you pay for on this kind of tool.

This heat gun kit far exceeded my expectations. It was offered at a reasonable price and is a professional grade product. As with all Milwaukee products that I have owned, it is high quality. A step ahead of the home owner grade tools that are generally offered. Nicely packaged with accessories and a storage case. I expect to be able to use and enjoy this tool for many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Heat Gun! (3 yrs ownership), June 24, 2010

I have owned this kit for 3 years and still love it.
This is an excellent heat gun that heats up to specified temperature very quickly. The case is a must for all my tools and it has a cavity that easily stores the AC cord. I am very pleased with this heat gun as I am with all my Milwaukee tools.
Please note, the optional accessory (not included in this kit) Milwaukee 3/8-Inch Reflector Nozzle #49-80-0307 does not fit this heat gun.
