About this deal

Easily one of the best known European tool brands, Germany’s Bosch have two main lines of tools. “Blue” professional tools and “green” DIY level tools. This handy UniversalHeat 600 heat gun fits into the DIY section, but don’t be fooled, it’s a sturdy and reliable little beast. As for the specs, this heat gun’s a little heavier than some of the competition at just over 1 kg. You can excuse the extra heft because it puts out a huge 2000 Watts of heat power. This heat is produced at two selectable temperatures- 350° C and 550° C. The airflow speed’s a bit higher at 550 litres per minute too. You also get a decent set of accessories to go with the heat gun. There are four different nozzles to choose from too. You get a fish tail, a classic reduction tip, a glass protection nozzle, and a light carbon nozzle. It’s a mini heat gun that’s great when you need accuracy over power and portability over fan power. In fact, I think it’s one of the best mini heat guns I’ve tried out so far. If you’re a hobbyist or electrician who needs to save on toolkit space, this is the one for you. As for the specs, a power input of 2000 Watts pushes the heat up to 550° C at 550 litres per minute. Weighing in at close to 1 kg, it’s not exactly heavy but it’s a bit weightier than the competition. You get two selectable modes to choose from as well.

The Dewalt DCE530N heat gun is ideal for stripping paint, thawing pipes and much more. It features a 2 set temperature selector allowing you to choose between a high or low temperature for specific applications. Manchester-based VonHaus have been taking the DIY world by storm with their extensive range of handy tools and accessories. Their heat gun is hugely powerful, comfortable to use and comes with a decent set of tips.

You get a couple of attachments to use with the heat gun as well. There’s a reflector for heat shrinking or pipe bending, and a reducer nozzle thrown in for when you need concentrated heat. They’re good quality and don’t have a proprietary connector system, so you can use aftermarket accessories with this heat gun. Power tool brand Ginour have made a powerful heat gun kit. It comes with a decent set of accessories, hands-free capability and won’t empty your wallet when you buy it.

What makes this one of the best heat guns I’ve had a chance to try out is the three-step switch. You can’t change the temperature with a dial, but Bosch have selected three levels of heat and airflow that just seem to work.Japanese tool brand Ryobi are famous for producing excellent cordless power tools. Their excellent ONE+ battery system allows you to share them across their range of 18V tools. Power up anything from a lawnmower to a circular saw without needing to buy separate batteries! Their R18HG-0 18V heat gun cuts the power cord and lets you use a heat gun wherever you want, even off-grid. Spec-wise, this heat gun weighs just under 1 kg and puts out a maximum of 600° C. It uses the 2,000 Watt power input to put out up to 500 litres per minute airflow. Select a high or low-temperature setting with the 2-set temperature selector, optimising temperature for specific applications Another full kit, this is an ideal heat gun to buy if you want all the accessories thrown in. The build quality isn’t exactly as good as the DeWalt or the Bosch. However, for this price, you’re not going to argue too much. This is a futuristic-looking heat gun with a large, rubberised handle. It’s more comfortable to use than some of the more expensive heat guns that just have a plastic handle. This makes it ideal for long paint stripping sessions and overall ergonomics.

You can’t have a heat gun without a source of heat. Heat guns use electricity to draw air in with a fan and pass it across a heating element. The best heat gun might use a ceramic heating element that can create hotter temperatures than old-style coiled wire. PowerThe power rating on a heat gun is measured in Watts. The higher the number, the more power the heat gun pulls in from the electricity source. Usually, this translates to a higher temperature at the nozzle end but also means your electricity bill will be higher. Tips Now for the specs. This heat gun weighs just 650 g but puts out up to 600° C using the powerful 1800 Watt power input. You can select from two different airflow speeds, up to 450 litres per minute airflow and it makes a maximum noise of 79 dB during use. I like the build quality on this heat gun, it’s what you’d expect from Bosch. The rubberised over-moulded handle is supremely comfortable and the whole thing feels solid and not a plastic toy. SEEKONE have included three different sizes of standard cone tip. There’s also a wide flat tip and a glass protection tip. It looks like it’ll come in handy for all sorts of paint removal jobs. To go with the tips, they’ve also thrown in a standard putty scraper and a triangular pull scraper too. Everything you need to get to work.
