Summary: 4 Stars
I bought the heat gun for one job only, reflowing solder. I'm sure I will have other uses for it in the future. It works just fine and I don't have any real complaints. The price is right and I feel satisfied that I got what I paid for... no more... no less. I would have liked better documentation and I still have no clue what most of the attachments are for. Some typical applications would have been useful. Also, the LED indicators serve no real purpose. They don't exactly correspond to the temperature dial in the back and the product would have been just as good without them. It seems like they threw them in there for marketing purposes and not for functionality. The dial in the back is what I look at to figure out what temperature I'm set for.
If you need a heat gun that has accurate temperature readouts, this is not the one for you. Look for one with a LCD (liquid crystal display), not LEDs (light emitting diode). If you are like me, you don't care for extremely accurate temperature readings and don't want to pay a lot, then I would recommend this item for you.
I hope that helps!
Customer Review: Did the job nicely
Summary: 4 Stars
The first job I used this on was in relation to multiple replacement of magnetic window sensors in my house's burglar alarm system. The solder work, and then the shrinking of insulating heat shrink around the connection was, of necessity, done in very close proximity to the window glass and frame. Through the use of the window protection attachment this was successfully achieved without damage to the glass or frame. The gun is extremely powerful, and I envisage using it for many other tasks over the coming years (I hope!). I particularly liked being able to easily stand the gun on its end. The only negative that I found was the operation of the slide trigger to operate the gun. I found that to be a little awkward - hopefully I will become accustomed to it as I use the gun more. Overall good value for money - I'm pleased with the package.Customer Review: Just a repackaged Black and Decker?

I have the Black & Decker C800620 version of this heat gun... From looking at the photos and attachments and all the specs of both guns, I've come to the conclusion that they are exactly the same product, except this one has been painted blue, re-branded, and stripped of the B&D 2-year warranty...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but im fully convinced they are the same product. They are both offered on amazon, with the B&D inexplicably being cheaper at the moment. My B&D is a good product for what i need it for (mainly DIY PCB reflows for gaming consoles and laptops) so Im not knocking this one in any way, but if this product is simply B&D's attempt to lower their warranty service costs, then thats pretty lame.
This product is worth checking out of the other one is sold out.
