Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita HG1100 1,100 Degree Heat Gun

Customer Review: Best heat gun available
Summary: 5 Stars

The $87 price is the only reason this heat gun is not at the top of the best sellers list.

If Makita ever discontinues this item I will be very cross with them.

Pros:

- gets hot enough to melt solder (yes, you can solder copper pipe without flame)
- gets hot fast
- adjustment wheel provides many heat settings (gentle enough to thaw frozen faucets with plastic parts)
- great ergos (easy to hold and turn on/off with one hand)
- thick power cord indicator or true heat capability

Cons:

- accessories not included and expensive
- two accessories discontinued

Discontinued:

110751-A Wide Angle Slit Nozzle for lap welding
110720-A Plastic Welding Nozzle

Still available:

110730-A Large Reflector Nozzle for directing flow around pipes
110702-A 3" Surface Nozzle for heating large areas
110706-A 3/8" Reduction Nozzle for small area air flow
110746-A 3/8" Reflector Nozzle for heat shrink tubing and activating solder in wire connectors

Since Amazon doesn't carry them, I recommend homelumbercom.com (not a typo) as a good source for the remaining accessories.

5 out of 5 stars.
