Which heat tool was your favorite? Let me know in the comments! And also let me know if you have any viewer request videos!

[@terriconrad4612]

I’ve only owned the Wagner. Never have used the Ranger. But the WOW peaks my interest because of the H & L settings. Also the protection around the nozzle! Yes.... I too have gotten an owie with my Wagner! Hmmmmm! Thanks Laurel! 💕🙋‍♀️

[@cherylrobertson5629]

I received the ranger heat tool for Christmas and I love it for everything.

[@dgmlmax]

Thanks for the comparison. I’ve wanted a Wagner. Now I’ll look into the Wow one Just a suggestion don’t leave them plugged in as all of them are fire hazards.

[@JenniferPerryMyScraproom]

I have the Ranger and the Wagner. The Ranger hangs on my desk as my general drying tool that is always within reach. My Wagner lives on my embossing cart that I can roll around my studio. I fashioned a heat proof gun holder out of a tall metal flower pot with a silicone heat trivet at the bottom of the flower pot. My Wagner just goes in the flower pot in between uses when playing and for storage. It is safe and I am safe and that makes us both happy. :-)

I watched the video while travel with my husband, he overheard the review of the wow. I was looking to see who offered it, and he blurted out, “Have you ordered that?” I said no. He said, “if it’s that good order you one.” This after him telling me, what do you do watch these videos and then buy the tools.

[@LaurelBeard]

HAHAHAH, that's funny!!!!!!

[@gingerpayne7310]

Amazing review since I mine heat embossing tool died . I just bought my first WOW embossing tool. Thank you

[@barbhousner5466]

Just thinking about replacing mine. I use my hairdryer for drying my watercolor

[@bellnorton4453]

Thank you, I have been wondering about this very question.

[@lovelyrose1867]

You sold me on the Wow! Cant wait to order one😁

[@lindaeastment4542]

Hi Laurel 👋 thanks for sharing your thoughts on the different heat tools I totally agree with you if I had to buy one I definitely would go with the WOW 👍 u asked for people to comment on what tutorials thay would love to see u do if it is at all possible PLEASE can u do 2 tutorials ....1 on watercolor painting roses.......and 1 on watercolor painting carnations ....... SORRY hope u didn't think I was to cheeky asking for 2 different tutorials SORRY if u did not my intention to be cheeky have a lovely weekend 🦋💞🦋 Lin in South Wales uk

[@LaurelBeard]

Hi Linda. I don't really free hand watercolor. But I do have a rose stamp! I can do that.... :)

[@lindaeastment4542]

[@racheljolley26352]

Thank you SO much! Hugely helpful as I need a decent heat gun, mine is a cheap one and not very good.

[@LaurelBeard]

Glad I could help! lOL!

[@kristinevencel2898]

Good info to know. Thank you! I have both the Wagner and the Ranger tool currently. Love them both but use the Wagner 99% of the time cause I’m impatient. Lol . May buy the Wow tool when 1/both of mine die but don’t see a need for it now.

[@GinaLovestocraft]

Thank you for these reviews

[@lindadinwiddie8453]

I had a Milwaukee, now Wagner that lasted about 15 years. When it broke I bought the new Wagner, and I also have the heat tool. They both work well, I was wondering how well the Wow one worked. Saving space having just one tool is a plus. Thanks!

[@Pebblesmas]

LOVE your review, all the info I really needed right now, as my Heat It stopped working when I wanted to dry my 3 year old sons shoes :-( I already had a cheap heat gun like the Wow, with 1 speed but without the cap around the end and feel like that is dangerous with a 3 year old in the house ! But I loved the fact that the Heat It made a soft noice. But fortunately that's not important anymore (my 3 year old slept near my craftroom so could not affort the noice), so after your brilliant review it's an easy choice, THANKS SO MUCH !!! The WOW it will be :-).

[@sharoncooper9593]

Thank you for your comparison of heat tools. Do they all not come back on for quite a long time if it used for a normal embossing project? Please advise. Very appreciative of your time and talent!

[@LaurelBeard]

Yes they do

[@creativetips97]

Thank you

[@ellajames9987]

Thank you so much for you information and help I am new to all of this and am wondering what type of work surface showing in the video ? Kind regards

[@sergioknuf]

[@christinecox9625]

Hi Laurel! My 20+ year old heat gun just took a poop! 😬 I know this industry changes so quickly. Would u still recommend the WOW! Dual Speed Heat Tool u mentiined in this video? Thx in advance & blessed crafting! 😊

[@christinecox9625]

And if not ... What do u recommend? 😘

[@LaurelBeard]

The Wow is a good one because it has dual speeds for heat embossing and drying watercolors and paints. However, if you don't need the lower setting, I would get this one: amzn.to/3mKcYUi

[@amkarei]

@@LaurelBeard Unfortunately, that Wagner is also missing a HEAT SHIELD on the nozzle. ☹

[@lisaraper8053]

Tim Holtz has youtube videos using the ranger to heat emboss. Not dry watercolors only. It does more than you claim.

[@LaurelBeard]

Lisa Raper it can heat emboss but it takes a very long time. Tim says that too

[@ksharbin]

The WOW gun is sold out everywhere I've looked, including the links here. Please let me know if you see it available somewhere :)

[@Melvorgazh]

ps: that Rangers that looks like a hairdryer what temperature does it reach? On their website they didn't tell :/ Cheers from Belgium

[@amkarei]

That would indeed be good info -- as to BOTH settings! -- AND the DIMENSIONS, as well (!), as we all seem to have limited crafting space. "Particulars" on nearly a n y product, these days, seems to be an after-thought quite often; I've T O T A L L Y given up on perusing IKEA's catalog or on-line spaces, as those people seem to forget that they are N O T selling a P I C T U R E of an item, but an actual 3 dimensional object!!! Oh well ...

[@lisac2989]

Thank you for sharing this video!! I have a question when the wow heat tool is on does it get smokey do to the plastic around around the metal part?

[@LaurelBeard]

nope, it doesn't!

[@sherir4462]

This is great information! In your opinion, is the Wow any lighter in weight than the Wagner? I have a Wagner and my Ranger but would love to have them combined!

[@LaurelBeard]

If anything, the Wow is a wee bit lighter. I had the same two you had, but switched to the Wow.....

[@karidadramis-hartman4857]

Hello and thanks so much for the tips and lessons. Appreciate you for it. Karidad

[@silviaborgers4105]

Hi , thank you so much for this video. I wonder wich of these 3 you would recomand fot working whit thick embossing powder??? each time i try to melt it it blows away it just wont stick in the versamark ink.... The fine embossing powder stick and melts great....

[@LaurelBeard]

The Wow or Wagner would work great. I use the Wow gone exclusively! For thick embossing powders, HEAT FROM THE BACKSIDE! Once its starts to melt, you can move on to the front... I hope that helps!

[@Warrioress4Jesus]

Thank you so much for your review Laurel! I am a brand new subscriber. :-) I am looking at the Amazon Link that you provided for this tool which says it is; 120 volts, 300 watts, 60 hertz and then I am seeing a comment on the same item from another seller and one person is complaining about it being this lower voltage she says; "Heat gun voltage is received is 110-115 volt. It was never mentioned in product description. Now I can not use the product . Don’t buy this if you need 220v version." Which actually the voltage is right there at least now in the Product description for this one as being "110 Volt Heat Gun-ETL approved meets UL approval" as stated on the product page. So, my question is what is she referring to and is this 110 just fine or is there a 220 version? I don't see one on Amazon. Also, can you tell me if there is a WARRANTY on this WOW Heat Tool? :-) Thank you so much for your Assistance. I am new at this Art and am rather clueless about Heat Guns and all. :-) Blessings upon you & yours Laurel! :-)

[@LaurelBeard]

I am not sure. They have two heat guns. USA plug and UK plug. I have had no issues with the heat put out by this gun.

[@victoriousvalentine9779]

CHER there is a 230 volt version. It is sold in the UK. The 120volt is the US version. If you buy the wrong voltage, often you can just use a universal plug. If that doesn’t work you need a converter/transformer. I don’t know how much they are elsewhere but in Australia they are around AU$35

[@cindybrook0520]

Hello, what are your thoughts on using the WOW to dry Vintaj patinas on metal components? Thank you!

[@LaurelBeard]

It's good. It's a very powerful and hot heat tool!

[@inhaleexhale]

The WOW one has a shrill high-pitched sound that would drive me crazy. I wish you had demonstrated whether it would warp paper during card making and embossing, because I believe it would. I wish you would show all of them demonstrated but you did not.

[@tracilord4854]

Thank you for sharing this do you think the Wagner tool embosses better & faster than the Wow?

[@LaurelBeard]

Nope. I think the opposite as far as heat time. I think the Wow gun heats up faster than the Wagner.

[@tracilord4854]

@@LaurelBeard Great Ty! I need a new one & was debating between the 2 ❤😘

[@ingridb3272]

What are the temperatures for the low and high settings on the WOW please? The Wagner is 650°F which some find is too hot (though, I’m ok with 650°F). I have the Recollections Heat Gun rated at 446°- 464°F, but I know I’ll have to replace it sooner or later. TIA

[@LaurelBeard]

It is around 300C(+-30C tolerance) for high setting and 200C(+-30C tolerance) for low. (Straight from the folks at Wow)

[@amkarei]

@@LaurelBeard FABULOUS!! I was wondering if that info would come out in these comments!! Btw ... for others back here in The States, that translates to 300c +/- 30 = 572 F +/- 86 F AND 200c +/- 30c = 392 F =/- 86 F Thx, Laurel ! Be well, All!

[@krislair8019]

I use the harbor freight one. It is kinda big but works great. The problem I have with the style shown is that every one I have owned (it's been a few), the plastic part around the metal tube has melted, to the point where it is touching the metal. Anyone else had this problem?

[@LaurelBeard]

Say wha? This one on the Wow doesn't touch. It's got about 1/2 inch space all the way around.
