I got mine at Home Depot. Can't say how many golf clubs I took apart with it when I was repairing them, but it still works after 8 years.
I paid a bit more getting either the commercial or industrial version. It has a vent on the side you can close to increase the heat. And a no heat setting to cool it down afterwards. Most people never take the time to cool the gun down after using it and that shortens the life more than anything. I think I gave around $50 for mine so it's probably a little more now. ----- Original Message ----- From: Spiro To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2009 1:36 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] recommendations for a heat gun Hi, I just burned through a "new heat gun" that was given to me. It was capable of 900 and 1100 dg f, and it only lasted me a couple dozen hours of use. Before that I had an Arrow, I think, from the ACE hardware. I may have a chance to go to Lowes tommorrow; any names that should look for, to assure a low priced long lasting investment. If not there, somewhere that will ship fast, if there's a great heat gun out there to get via ordering and shipping. I have at least another 17 feet of teflon 3/8 to 3/16 (500dg f) to shrink before the 8th of June. thanks [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
