Heat Gun

Thinking of getting a heat gun, is 1200-1500 ample enough for doing the kind of work we do. Don't want anything to expensive. I could look in the thrift shops, but then again its buyer beware. Lots of garage sales now, but have not found anything.

I paid $5 at a garage sale for mine about 100 bows ago. I think it is a B&D 2 speed(1200-1500). I think you can get a Wagner for $20 to $30.

Yep the Wagner, I tried the cheapo ones at harbor freight, and they don't last long, they take them back and give ya a new one but it ain't worth it, Wagner is a great gun

I'm glad this subject came up because I need to replace mine, I've been looking a few guns and some go up to 2000 watts. The gun I have now is 550 watts, seems to do OK but kind of slow . My question is what watt guns are you guys using?

My Wagner is 650-1200 watts. Temp is 750-1000 F. It will get too hot to fast if you don't watch it. Heat treating is still boring though

Heat guns are about like any tool,by the best you can afford and generally you
won't be disappointed.
