SteinelHL 2020 E

Superb, I use this gun for heating wood before bending. It's GREAT.

This hot air gun was not cheap and has broken already, now I have to go back to the supplier as I can’t seem to get much help from Amazon

Does exactly what it says very well made product

Really good quality heat gun but it's a basic kit with just the gun and no nozzles or shields to use with it. Those are available from Steinel but you'll have to buy them separately. That aside there's little to complain about here and it's a good-sized and solidly made gun with most of the features you'd want. There are three different airflow settings but the slowest one is pegged at 80°C while the other two can be set between 80°C and 630°C and there's a little LED display advising you of the current setting. So the slowest setting is really the gun's cool-down option although it's useful for warming-up cables or tubes in a cold setting to give them some flexibility or even for drying-off damp patches.I wanted one to use for bending acrylic tubes for use in PC cooling setups so I needed a gun that would sit on a bench pointing up and remain stable and this one does that pretty well, although you've to be careful where you lay the cord. There's a little LED on the top that flashes while the nozzle is still hot, so you don't grab it without realising. It's noisy but not unbearably so, it does get a bit rattly sometimes as it's heating up. For my purposes it's perfect but for paint stripping or more focussed tasks you might miss a set of nozzles. I didn't know the brand Steinel before but it seems to be excellent quality.
