5.0 out of 5 stars A Very good product, May 17, 2003
This heat gun is all a heat gun should be. Its reliable, provides even controlable heat for many applications. The gun provides three different air flow settings along with an infinitly variable temperature selector. The digital readout is a very nice plus which first indicates the set target temperature and then shows the increments until it hits the target. This kind of control opens up the amount of uses to more temperature sensitive applications. If you must have the best this is it; though i wish it had a case! As mentioned below it took a few weeks to ship because this product is not normally stocked. The previous reviewer should of figured this out...

5.0 out of 5 stars Rugged Industrial Quality, December 23, 2004
This heat gun is ultra fast-to-heat-up and stays put at your set temperature because of its high-tech thermo-reactive properties. It has an ultra-accurate, cool-looking, bright green temperature LCD display on a black background, which makes it visible in the dark. It is located in the ergonomically correct location (on top). Three different air-flow settings allow for ultimate control and air pressure/heat ratio exertion.

The intuitively-designed shape includes separate temperature control (by 10 degree increments) and fan speed control buttons. Unlike most variable guns, the integrated stand allows for a fully erect stance--when needed--with optimally located trigger controls located side-by-side on the handle.

The double-insulated, ceramic-encapsulated heating element is safe and efficient. If you vaporize herbal substances such as tobacco using a heat gun, you want a ceramic core so that it doesn't give off toxins. Moreover, this product has a stunning five-year warranty, partially because ceramic heating elements last longer.

I highly recommend this item to everybody ranging from heat gun novices to legendary heat gun users. It has great controls, a sturdy feel, and a long warranty to back its obvious integrity. Enjoy the control of a professional product with luxury features. A lot of thought went into the multi-faceted, ergonomic design and I am a proud owner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Heat Gun - Highly Recommended!, November 20, 2006
By M. J. Nicholas (Brighton, Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this heat gun primarily for heat shrink tubing, which it does nicely and it beats using an open flame for this task. I also ordered the 3/8", 9/16" and hook nozzles for the unit.

I found another use I hadn't intended...soldering wire to an automotive rocker switch. Soldering electronic components is not my strong point, and my little soldering iron just couldn't handle a lousy 1mm piece of rosin core solder, a 3/16" terminal tab and 18GA wire. I put on the 3/8" nozzle, cranked up the heat, soldered away, and then cooled the switch down with the gun's air only blower. Worked great!

The gun heats up rapidly, and cools down quickly too. The tripod base is stable, which was a great surprise considering the top heavy nature of heat guns. This allows one to use two hands to manipulate the work piece if need be.

I would like to see Milwaukee make a few minor improvements; but this is splitting hairs on an excellent heat gun. A longer throw switch would make setting temperatures easier. A switch to display the temperature in degrees F or C would be nice, and a case would be helpful.

Best of all was that the tool was made in Switzerland and the nozzles in Germany. I was so happy NOT to see the evil "Made in China" label.

The heat gun is very nice and works great! Gives you a wide temperature range. And the digital readout is perfect, the tool should have come with a case to protect it.
