Heat Gun Overview

[@politic17]

You know, companies hate honest consumers, but I love you guys, because you say it as it is. " The same air comes out of these things " Thank you for your honesty.

What a great review, honest and practical.

“It’s just hot air man” This guy partied hard in the 80’s

[@topwrapz]

That red one is made for car wrapping. It measures the temperature on the film for post heating to get the memory out from the PVC, and the optimum distance for post heating is when the 2 dots connect. I wrap cars, and I use steinel with wheel temperature control. It's super fast to use, I hate those more expensive ones, which have the buttons for the heat control. Very slow to use, and you have to keep your eye one the screen to know how much heat it's giving. The wheel thing is perfect for changing the temperature. I also have a device which can be plugged to the top of the heat gun for post heating temperature measurement. It has multiple settings for different things. Steinel is THE heatgun for me. I understand your point of view 100% bc you focus on window tinting :)

Here's Steinel's car wrapper edition heatgun: www.steinel-professional.de/en/hot-air-gluing/hot-air-tools/hg-2120-e-carwrapper-edition.html

[@markporter2642]

Makita makes the most durable heat gun in my experience. I'm trying out Milwaukie guns now and they seem pretty tough as well. They make one for $80 that seems like a winner.

[@baseballdude8491]

Metabo HPT heat gun is my favorite

[@martink.9442]

I only use Steinel, because here in Germany Steinel is "the" Brand. And the Steinel with the new Heat Control is for Wrapper perfect for post heating. But 500 Dollar for a Gun is crazy.

[@onpsxmember]

Yeah...maybe the sticker is from germany...built in Romania. No additional tips, no case.

[@onpsxmember]

@zoki kostadinov I've got nothing against the quality but the price is high, they market it as if it was produced in Germany and for that high price there aren't even tips or a case included.

[@Escuier]

What comes at the end of them all is basically the same thing, nice video man, i also lean towards the simple tools, no lasers and sh*t necessary

[@enjoyingthecrisis5931]

The disposable guns are exactly that. If you're doing a long job where you're constantly running them and not letting them cool off, they're going to end up in the trash, and you're going to do an emergent run to Harbor Freight for another. However, you're not going to feel bad if they die.

[@chopperpl]

Well, the simplicity sounds great. However, this applies only to very experienced wrappers. Those that just started are better off with accurate temp controls, so they don't have to worry about destroying the element/material and focus on quality work instead.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

You really do not make any sense to me. Thanks for the comment.

[@DJaquithFL]

The major cost differences are accurate temperature control and durability. Personally I prefer Bosch or Makita.

[@bama2579]

I use porter cable, has temp control. Very nice

[@maxmasify]

Same here. $30

[@nh6003]

What's the name of your favourite gun you said? Good piece

[@FlexFilmPlus]

Wel bilt

[@leob4645]

I wish all reviews are like this.

[@DaDa-ud6fr]

Thank you, looking around for a heat gun and you led me to what I needed.

[@alotharian]

I would have loved to get info about the two most important specs. the max. temperature and the airflow. Beside the quality these can justify price difference. Good video though.

[@onpsxmember]

A lot of the cheap ones don't reach the temperatures they sell it for. Some of the cheaper ones advertise up to 650°C and all you get is maybe 350°C. But that's just one of many. Lots of those come from the same factory, often just different colours of the housing but the same shit.

[@FF-xl7yw]

What is not made overseas???

[@wanelly]

Ford and GMC (locally built) and they are still trash compared to foreign Hondas or Toyotas. It's not about where it's made. It's about who made it.

[@FF-xl7yw]

@@wanelly Fair comment and I agree but we are talking household products and not vehicles. that said... Only Japanese know how to make a dependable car!!!

[@dianahernandez1375]

How long can heat gun run on 250f

[@markporter2642]

The $20 Wagner heat guns die after about 6 months of daily use. I stopped using them though because the second one I owned almost caught on fire even though it wasn't turned on.

[@onpsxmember]

Jep, savety is worth more.

[@markporter2642]

zoki kostadinov It will work just fine for a small job like that. But for a professional tinter we use heat guns every day all day so the Wagner is not a good choice.

[@markporter2642]

zoki kostadinov Ralph Van Pelt who I personally have done business with is part of the window tinting business. This video, like all his other videos, is geared specifically for the window tinting business and people who are new to it.

[@88fordman2011]

I have a Milwaukee two speed. love it. goes 500-1150 degrees

[@problemon]

Thanks for this video,,

[@NathanClevenger1337]

How hot should your tint get? The old ass heat gun I have melts tint in half the time I see these guys on youtube sitting there going super slow over the tint.

[@drivin379]

Man I've time Tinted countless window 15.20 yr ago. I'm trying. To do my big rig pretty much all square ends except the bottom front has lil taper last few inches. Helppppppp

[@pitubg]

I have 2 of Steinel. Getting sick of using the Chinese made. Breaks down in1-2 month.

[@AADmrstangerbanger]

Max flux heat gun works 💪

[@kikejr5551]

Thank you for your reply Ralph god bless you

[@kikejr5551]

How much temperature to mold back window for die film 2 mil

[@FlexFilmPlus]

930 degrees is ideal

[@Dannyboysgarage]

When your heat shrinking windows all day the weight of that gun becomes a factor.

[@JBIRD575]

great video ralph

[@Jeremy-su3xy]

big help thanks.

[@sureahnani3398]

What is your heat gun name?

[@m0rthaus]

I believe it's Master Appliance ProHeat STC (Surface Temperature sensing and Control) Heat Gun, 120-500F, 120 VAC

[@CrucesNomad1]

Broke down and bought the economy Harbor Freight with coupon, $6 bucks. Wifes hair dryer works also for my needs.

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

While I appreciated your objectivity, I would have liked a bit more on your recommendation(s) based on intended use, e.g., window film, shrink tubing, etc. Even so, thanks for posting.

[@kf4dcy501]

it takes skill to run a hair dryer. if you need more heat, take the gun to where heat is needed.

[@kola2018]

Cheap. Heat gun does not blows correct hot air out as it said. I use Steinel. Film reacts right away. Besides cheap means break fast

[@jamesdang3291]

Different heat guns for different jobs. A good review for tinters but that’s about it

[@kf4dcy501]

I can justify a 10.00 heat gun over a 500.00 heat gun. does it not need me to hold it, aim it. now that would be the killer app of heat guns.

[@ELEVOPR]

The $500.00 Heating gun has little slabs of cement inside, so it can feel beefier 😂😂😂 Thanks for the review, but for what most of us need it for, a $50-100 gun is plenty. Again for what most of us, the average person or mechanic need it for.

[@veer1932]

East or west DeWalt is the best

[@denniskenney993]

Get to the point. Stop telling us what your going to do and just do it. To much bla bla bla

[@whydoyoucareffs]

1st minute of video - just repeating one sentence, no info. In the 2nd minute I think you might be related to Joe Biden... waste of time.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

How often do you waste your time commenting on stupid videos? Does it come natural to you or do you have to work on this?

[@whydoyoucareffs]

@@FlexFilmPlus how often do you stutter in your videos? Does it come natural to you or do you write it in your script? Yeah my comment is pretty hateful, but there is still a constructive criticism in it.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

@@whydoyoucareffs Seems like it comes natural for you. Thanks for wasting your time watching the video and even more time commenting. If you have even more time to waste, please respond.

[@whydoyoucareffs]

@@FlexFilmPlus Respond takes less than a minute which is a lot less then I wasted on looking at the video - certainly did not watch it all... have a nice day.

[@FlexFilmPlus]

@@whydoyoucareffs You remind me of my wife... sometimes she will stop what she is doing and take only a minute to fuss at me or criticize me because she loves me and cares for me while other women do not even pay attention to me because they feel nothing for me. Just by taking that precious minute out of your day to say something to me either bad or nice shows me you really care. Thank you for caring about me.
