A heat shrink gun is a type of power tool used to emit heat for an abundant amount of uses. The heat gun resembles the look and structure of a hair dryer but the heat shrink gun reaches temperature that a hair dryer could not.

With a heat shrink gun you can strip or dry paint and even bend plastic fittings and fixtures. The heat guns is manufactured in a variety of sizes and types so do some shopping around first to better understand which gun is best for you.

The varieties of heat guns you can find on the market vary from digital, thermometer, flameless, minis and butane guns. Depending on how you plan to use your heat shrink gun you may want to research which guns will fit your needs the best. If you have larger projects to tackle, the mini or smaller heat guns would probably not be the best choice for you.

These heat guns put out some extremely hot air so always use precaution when operating them. Generally they put out temperatures ranging from 200 to 1,000 Fahrenheit and there are even other models that can reach around 1,400 Fahrenheit! A safer alternative to these hot guns is to use a speed heating infrared gun which puts out infrared rays rather than hot air for a much safer level of heat.

There are some heat guns with a cool built in rest handle which is great for hands free usage. Using these rests will let you place the heat gun on a table or work bench and work on your project with both hands, which is great for larger projects. Shop around first before heading out to buy your heat gun because there are virtually hundreds of options for you to choose from.
