Customer Reviews for Milwaukee 11.6-Amp Variable Temperature Heat Gun

We have used these guns everyday all summer and they are the best we’ve bought in ten years

Gun works great. Nice mount to sit on. Adjustable heat. Very nice!

Fast shipping, great tool !

I absolutely love this heat gun i use it to scrape tires and it works amazing for that. the variable speed is great for doing shrink wraps so that the wrap doesn’t rip.

You get what you pay for! The Heat Gun is great.

Stopped working after 10 mins of use. Returned and bought a different brand for less.

Haven’t use it but know it will work as expected

this heat gun works wood

It’s everything I thought it to be !

this product preformed very well for my project..

I imagine that there are many uses for a heat gun however most people will use it for scraping paint. This is the purpose that I had when purchasing this unit and it worked beautifully. Just the right temperature so paint Peels and not Burns.

Great product- only thing that would make it better is a case

Works awesome!!

This is a good heat gun. I've been using this model almost daily for 3 years. With that being said, there is another review which is 1 star and I understand why it was given only 1 star. This model in comparison to the older model does indeed suck. I used the older model for over 6 years and only had to replace it was because i accidentally ran it over with a truck. The old model was lighter in weight and more balanced. This current model feels front heavy and the angle is pointed upwards slightly. That puts a lot of strain on your wrist if you plan on using this daily. I cannot recommend this for daily use. The older model can still be found online. I recommend getting the older version.

Heat gun works great but it doesn’t come with a case or accessories.

I have a previous model of this heat gun and it's been going strong for over 20 years. The variable temperature feature is a real plus. Once you have used a quality tool like this, you won't want to go back and use a cheap-o $30 gun.

Very impressed so far. I use one at work and decided to get one for home use. Nice gun for the.money..not to mention the milwaukee name.

THIS REDESIGN MOVED AIR FLOW FROM BACK TO THE SIDE. THIS CAUSED THE AMOUNT OF AIR FLOW TO COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. I HAVE BEEN USING THE OLD DESIGN FOR ALMOST 15 YEARS IN MY WINDOW TINTING BUSINESS, THIS NEW DESIGN DOESN'T WORK ANY WHERE NEAR THE SAME. I AM NOW OFFICIALLY SHOPPING FOR A NEW MANUFACTURER WITH SIMILAR DESIGN TO THE OLD DESIGN.

Well...not so little. In fact this gun is a powerhouse, but not too heavy for my small lady hands when heating glue to fuse jewelry bails to cabochons by the hundreds. Only reason it doesn't get a 5 star is because I purchased this thinking I could dial in to the right temp, but cannot. there are specific temp options, I believe 4 of them. The description lists the range of temp which is far greater than any of the other lesser priced options on the market, but doesn't specify the limitations in that range. I needed a heat gun that could get low enough to not crack glass, but hot enough for any other projects. for my needs, a good buy.

Overall good tool with handy accessories. However if you order the case for the tool and accessories, you will need part # 42-55-8975. Many places online and tech will tell you to order 48-55-8975 but this tool will not fit in this case do to the way it is made. Again order part# 42-55-8975. This matches the case in the case # in the service parts list. You can save yourself a restocking fee.

This heat gun is the best thing anyone has made for the job I had to do. I removed tiles from a cement floor,hardwood flooring,glue from sub floors. If I never had this heat gun I would still be doing the floors,or be dead. Thanks for selling this great tool the price is good and if it was more money I would have not cared cause it worked so good for me. Thanks again
