Black & Decker Power Tools HG1300 Dual Temperature Heat Gun

You get what you pay for; nice and compact heat gun, no bells or whistles other than two heat modes. The switch cover plastic is a bit hard to push through. Wish there were explicit wattage/power specifications on the box.

switch is very hard to use

This Black & Decker Heat gun has several features that I really liked. The first is the nice compact size. Obviously this is not a tool that you will be using every day so there is a big advantage in a compct size. It fits quite easily in most tool boxes so storage between jobs is a snap. The heat gun also has a very handy wire stand on the handle which, along with the flat back design, allows you to use the heat gun hands free so you can use both hands to control the materials you are using the heat on. The stand is also a perfect way to allow the heat gun to cool down after use without the risk of the hot barrel damaging any surfaces. The Black & Decker 1350 W heat gun has dual heat settings for a variety uses. This tool has many uses from helping to soften paint for stripping, to loosening rusty nuts and bolts, to thawing frozen pipes, the uses go on and on. It can also be helpful to reduce drying time on paints and other materials. The heat gun is made in China and comes with a two year limited warranty.

This Black and Decker Dual Temperature Heat Gun is another great product by B & D. I received this product to try it out while making my southwest jewelry. I do a lot of soldering of copper on copper, coins, etc. and I also solder small novelty items and thought this would be better with the electric 'heat' rather than using the open flame from a soldering torch. It worked! I only used it to solder copper on copper, which has a lower heating point than some other metals. I like the control with the 'drill' like shape of the gun and I think it will get a lot of use in my workroom. A really great feature is that you can stand it up on its backend during cool down so as to not touch anything flammable with the heated end. It is a 1350 W dual temperature heat gun which should also work well on softening paint off of wood and metal. I didn't have any of those type projects to try it out on but I definitely will in the future and will try it out then. As with most B & D products, they offer a product warranty. Nice product!

And it works to shrink heat shrink wire coverings flawlessly. :) I recommend it!

I purchased the Black & Decker 1375W Heat Gun to use for shrink wrapping and it does an exceptional job. Just what I wanted! Easy to use, light weight and can be used to remove paint. I would recommend this product.

Used this to strip paint of a deck. Works great. Heats up pretty quick an does a good job. Just move it back an forth in the area your doin an the paint will begin to bubble. Not recommend doin a big area at one time. I did a section about 3 ft x 3 ft an it worked pretty good.

I received this as part of a review program and tested this out on a piece of plexiglass and was very happy with how fast it heated up and made the plexiglass bendable! It was a little concerning with the smoke coming out of the exhaust but I think it was more because it was the first time it was used and not a mechanical defect. I look forward to using this on different projects in the future.

My dad is a Mr. Fix It. He loves doing DIY projects and repairs himself, and especially loves growing his collection of tools. During a recent Walmart Spark Reviewer campaign, I saw the BLACK+DECKER HG1300 120V Dual Temperature Heat Gun and thought he might find it useful. As a Spark Reviewer member, I received this product free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion. First off, I like that this tool is compact. In a garage or storage building already packed with appliances, this little guy won't take up much space at all. It includes 2 different temperature settings - 750 degrees and 1,000 degrees - and can be used for a variety of projects such as varnishing something, drying something quickly, or even melting frozen piping during the winter! One project we tried it with was applying an adhesive finishing side to a kitchen cabinet during installation. It heated up the glue quickly and allowed the finish to look nice and secure. If you like to do a lot of at-home repairs and DIY projects, this tool would be a great addition to your collection. The possibilities are endless! We enjoyed trying this product, and we appreciate Black+Decker and Walmart for the opportunity.

I wish I had this handy tool when I was attempting to dismantle an old desk which had rusted screws, that I was never able to remove. My intention this time is to quickly remove paint from my bedroom set. I've had it over 20 years and while I still love it, I would now like the same set in white. I made sealed treat bags for lengthy travel, using durable plastic that can withstand the heat. This heat gun doesn't come with attachments, but there are available items that can assist with scraping the heated surface. It's definitely going to come in handy in the event of frozen pipes in the winter. NOT FOR USE ON FUEL LINE PROJECTS!! Has an attached kick stand sorta piece for docking & cooling prior to re-storage. Has dual heat temps and a 6 ft power cord.
