Heat Guns, Torches, Accessories

A heat gun is a tool that may be carried in the hand and emits a stream of hot air that is typically between 100 °C and 550 °C (200-1000 °F) in temperature. Some hotter models can reach temperatures as high as 760 °C (1400 °F). Heat guns often have the shape of an extended body that points at the object to be heated, with a handle attached at an angle to it and a trigger that has the same pistol grip as many other power tools.

Typical Applications

• In physics, materials science, chemistry, engineering, and other lab and workshop contexts, heat guns are employed. Paint may be removed with a variety of heat guns that operate at various temperatures and airflows.
• Electronics professionals desolder and rework surface-mounted circuit board components using heat guns, often known as hot air guns or hot air stations.
• To properly replicate an overheating scenario, heat guns are also utilized for functional testing of overheat prevention mechanisms.
• Heat guns are often used in households. Wallpaper and paint splatters may occasionally be removed using heat guns and lighter hair dryers.
• Additionally, heat guns are used to melt wax and adhesives, such as those used in electronics, and to thaw frozen copper pipes. Plastics, such as PVC piping, may be made malleable for bending with the help of heat guns.
