5.0 out of 5 stars Git yer gun!, April 27, 2007

This review is from: Milwaukee 8985 11.6 Amp 140/1040 Degree Fahrenheit Variable Temperature Heat Gun Kit (Tools & Hardware)

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.

A nice kit with attachments in a fitted case. Top quality. Variable temp is a plus over other heat guns.
