      Must-have tool in frigid Wisconsin weather
      This is an invaluable tool whenever you need heat away from an electrical outlet. Nice and compact size in a robust build. This is a no frills tool though, and it would be nice if Milwaukee added some additional features and power in their next version. Specifically, my number one ask is to be able to lock on power. Second, it could use a little more airspeed and heat. This will not replace your corded heat gun, but shines in other areas. In just the two weeks I've owned this tool I've already used it half a dozen times here in the frigid Wisconsin winter. I've thawed out my sump pump hose connection, thawed out my bird feeder hopper fill roof so I could open the top to fill it, and I've used it on some shrink tubing. It worked brilliantly in all scenarios.

      Would recommend this tool
      Overall a great addition to my tool box. I do wish the blower was a little bit stronger but being a battery powered heat gun I am pleased with the performance and battery life.

      Great Product!
      I was skeptical but this gun really works well…!!! I have used it taking up VCT tile, thaw a frozen lock, thaw a Diesel engine block. The performance is incredible. I was very surprised the battery life while using it, didn’t seem to be a fast drain at all…!

      Convenient tool!
      If you are planning on getting this to do heat shrink don’t expect it do a faster job than a corded one but the convenience of the battery operated makes it well worth it it’s a great tool. Make sure you keep a couple extra batteries around as well if you’re going to be using for long periods of time

      Hot little heat gun
      Awesome working Heat Gun. It will use up battery packs but rightfully so. But it works great. Bought for a specific job of warming up soffit in -2C so I could confidently adhere led lighting around a house.

      Not a good tool
      Huge Milwaukee fan. To the point where I've swapped out all my other cordless tools and wrenches. So like someone stated earlier this is not a knock on their other tool. The heat gun is a miss and will be returning. It does not heat up enough for solder seal connectors. Shrink tube melted fine but low temp solder ring in the center did not. I attempted 4x and same result. Went through a fully charged XC5.0 battery attempting to get this to work. Battery drained quickly. Stronger heat is required along with a temp control. If it's improved I'll definitely give this another shot.
