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 about $20-25 for my Wagner 200 bows ago! I think its in that wattage range.
-
I use the cheapo wagner also. Still going strong after years of use.

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.

I'm with pearl, my Wagner has been going strong since '08.
-
My Wagner works. Got it at Home Depot. Around $20 I think.
-
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?
-
Got the Wagner with high low for $35 this spring. Works great

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. ;) :)
