      Is there a trigger lock? Is there a safety interlock?

      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      Hello, Rick - Yes, there is a trigger lock on switch. The trigger lock out reduces the possibility of accidental starting. It is located in the handle above the switch trigger. The trigger lock out must be pushed up before you pull the switch trigger. The lock resets each time the trigger is released. If you need further support, then feel free to ask another question.

                  CORDLESS; EASY TO USE; WELL-BALANCED; HEAT LEVEL IS A FUNCTION OF THE BATTERY’S POWER; NO ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS
                  The most important feature of the RIDGID 18V Cordless Compact Heat Gun (Tool Only) is that it is cordless because corded heat guns may perform better and may be obtained at a much lower cost. It being cordless though provides the flexibility for it to be used anywhere without the need to be concerned about cords and/or extension cords having sufficient capacity to operate a heat gun. This heat gun is easy to use. It has a push-up lockout above the trigger and a lock-on button on the side of the unit that can all be preformed with only one hand. It is well-balanced so that it can be used hands-free on a flat surface. The heat gun includes two attachments: a deflector, which is useful when heat shrinking tubing, and a concentrator. It includes an LED light which is useful for working in a poorly lit area. What is important in using this heat gun is that its capability and heat level is dependent on the power of the battery used with it. Initially, I used a 2.0 Ah battery which seemed to be recommended for it. Using that battery did not provide a useful level of heat for most applications. The heat gun performed better with a 4.0 Ah battery but it still did not have sufficient heat for many applications and a full charge was depleted in 5-6 minutes. Recently, I obtained a 6.0 Ah RIDGID Max Output battery which made a significant difference in the heat gun’s capability. It has allowed the heat gun to work well with all of my recent applications including PPE gluing. I don’t have a way of measuring the output temperature but the output from the gun seems to get very hot in only a few seconds ( unlike with the lower power batteries). Even after several uses of several minutes each, the battery still showed four bars of power remaining. On the downside, the heat gun has no adjustable settings for temperature or fan speed. Being able to set a maximum temperature and adjust the fan speed would have been a plus. The heat gun is made in China. It comes with an incredible lifetime warranty of parts and service if registered in the first 90 days with the receipt. Recommended.

                    Much easier than dragging out a corded heat gun. Great for getting stickers off

                    This thing is trash
                    This is a complete waste of money and ridgid should pay people for wasting their time buying this trash and having to return it. You won’t be doing jack squat with this thing as it will kill your battery before it gets hot enough. I thought maybe something was wrong after the 2AH battery went from a full charge to drained in less than 1 minute. I then put a 4AH battery on it that didn’t make it to 2 minutes before dead. This garbage is going back to HD

                      Complete garbage
                      Bought this to use for heating solder seal wire connectors for trailer wiring. The solder has a minimum melting temperature of 231F and this bad joke couldn't even handle that reliably. After 5 minutes of trying, which ran down a fully charged 4 amp battery, I gave up and resorted to a propane torch instead. This is a totally worthless tool if you actually need real heat. A bargain basement hair dryer would be a much cheaper option and work just as well. The 900F claimed max temp is a farce.

                      Hello, Brads - We're sorry to hear that this heat gun hasn't met your expectations! This product reaches operational temperature within 10 seconds and reaches a maximum temperature of 900 degrees F. If you haven't already, then we'd encourage you to use the included concentrator nozzle, which intensifies the application of heat in a specific area. Hopefully, this will help, but if not, let's connect and see if there's more we can do for you. If you would, please email us at Reviews@RIDGIDmail.com. ridgidtti

                        Tool only
                        I got the heat gun for a several uses. Mostly for crafting like opening up flowers or curling, hurrying dry paint time, and wood burning. So far so good. It's working like a charm. Easy to handle, heats up quickly, even heating and battery life lasted. Of course use care. When it was in use I laid it on ceramic tile to avoid any accidents. The only drawback is that they don't sell the tool and battery together.

                        Handy when you need it
                        I have recently started doing a lot more work on my own vehicles, including some installation of electrical accessories such as truck bed lights and tailgate light strips. As part of this, I have some connections that call for heat shrink protectors around them and I didn't want to just use electrical tape as I have in the past. Being a major Ridgid fan and having multiple 18v Ridgid tools already, this heat gun just made sense. I like the safety switch on the heat gun so my kids can't accidentally turn it on while they are "helping" me and I like the lock feature for heating things that take longer like removing factory decals. This is way faster and more convenient than using my wife's hair dryer, plus I don't get in trouble for it. I like the wrap-around shield as well because it means less moving and rotating as I shrink wrap wires. Overall, this is a great device and I happily recommend it.

                        Very Handy
                        I got this Ridgid 18V Cordless Compact Heat Gun to solve a very common issue here in the Pacific Northwest - frozen locks in wintertime. The lock on our mailbox, which sits at the end of a 350' driveway, constantly freezes up in cold weather, despite trying every preventive measure out there. This tool will address that safely and effectively. The tool itself is typical of the Ridgid product line - well-designed and manufactured. It's a compact heat gun, so only 1 fan speed with a maximum temperature of 900 degrees (as compared to the 1100 degrees my corded heat gun can produce). Still, this product is certainly capable of handling the usual tasks of shrinking plastic wrap and tubing, bending plastic, and thawing frozen pipes (and locks!). Moreover, the convenience of not having to drag out an extension cord will more than make up for the lower temperature capability. Two nozzles are included with the heat gun, a concentrator and a diverter. An LED light provides adequate work area illumination. A trigger lock helps during extended use and allows for hands-free operation. I'm very pleased with this product and highly recommend it!

                        Great Heat Gun for ALL Applications
                        RIDGID R860435 18v Heat Gun We all find the need to shrink wrap electric lines either in the shop or under the hood or dash of a vehicle. Instead of dragging out and electric heat gun or a handy lighter it's safer and must cleaner and easier to reach for the Ridgid R860435 18v Heat Gun, with the shrink wrap attachment. The heat gun gets the job done in a matter of seconds and with the shrink-wrap attachment the heat is directed to both sides of the shrink wrap at the same time. This allows for a more even tightness on the wire without needing to keep it turning. This heat gun also allows you to stand it on a solid surface on its own and by holding the safety trigger back and applying the side lock pickup your work piece with both hands to shrink, heat or manipulate your work piece as needed. This gun also does an excellent job of heating a panted surface to remove the paint in a less messy manner. All in all, the is a very versatile tool that really should be your go to heat gun for the future.

                        Great heat gun
                        I had a heat gun in my truck for over 30 years until it recently got stolen. I came across this Ridgid cordless heat gun. I thought I would give it a try. It has one setting 900 degrees which is pretty good. I only use it for softening putty's and stripping small amounts of paint. It works great for that. It has a locking trigger, two nozzles and an led light on the front. I'm very happy with it.

                        Nice heat gun for a variety of purposes
                        This is a nice small heat gun for low heat purposes. You can soften some plastics with it for bending or reshaping, you can shrink heat shrink wraps with it (as long as they are not too big), and I use it for softening stick resins on musical instruments. But it works pretty well for its limited purposes and is easy to handle. The main issue though with it is that if you have the variety of batteries from the vendor that will fit it (18V) the only one that will actually work well with it is the 4ah sized battery as the lower size batteries wont have the juice to keep the unit on for more than a few seconds. Just make sure you use at least a 4ah battery to keep the unit running long enough to do that spot heating you wanted. I do like the tool as it is well built and should last a long time. And as previously said, easy to handle and use. I recommend this unit for its limited uses. Try to use it to shrink wrap your boat for the winter, and you will be very dissappointed.
