Tools and Hardware Reviews of HomeRight C800552 Heat Pro Deluxe 10-piece Hot Air Tool Kit
Customer Review: It's Decent
Summary: 3 Stars
First i Thought i had a bad one...
Alright, So I just went and it TURNED ON! WooooW! It works.
Not so bad...
If you get this and make sure after you get done using it you turn the temp ALLL the Way Down, And let it Run for a Minute Before you Turn it Off.
If you don't let it cool off it'll probably not live so long.
I took off the black plastic on the front cause it served no purpose and made the thing stay hotter.
I'll Keeep you All Updated PeEEAce!
Customer Review: nice tool, good price - not up for hard work
Summary: 2 Stars
It does exactly what a heat gun should, and it's variable temperature. It includes lots of optional scrapers and attachment in the box.
The only improvement I would ask for is a temperature scale in Fahrenheit for the American market.

EDIT
I tried to strip paint with it (which it's made for) and it simply won't. Mine will run for 8 to 10 minutes then shut off and refuse to restart for 20 to 30 minutes. Unacceptable for a tool with "Pro" in the name.
If you just need it for short jobs (shrink tubing?) it's cheap and will work just fine. If you want to strip paint, pony up for the Milwaukee, as it will run all day.
Customer Review: two shipments were defective.
Summary: 1 Stars
the first unit arrived and the heat indicator lamps did not come on.
on first use of the replacement unit, after about ten minutes the fan stopped. the heat was set to fairly high and did not go off. some smoke. i assume there is a safety thermostat that would have kicked in, but without the fan the coils glowed for a while.
it may be a bad batch - but there seems to be no quality control at all.
Customer Review: Cheap build and non performing
Summary: 1 Stars
This heat gun failed to help me remove a thick layer of plasticized paint.
The unit is built very cheaply, and the so called accessories look more like toys, than tools: made up of very thin tin.
I would not buy this product again.
