Wagner Spray Tech 0503040 1500W Digital - Quantity 3

Used for several hours already. built well, feels solid. Have run for thirty minutes at a time no issues. Auto cool down is great when you turn off.

We have a lot of floor adhesive to make our way through. We worked it a medium setting for a good hour at a time with no trouble at all. The variable setting is nice. Wagner name stands the test on this one. We used .com ship to store. Overall good experience.

Love it help me pop my bumper out in this 30 dergrreee weyher

Set Temp. on 450-550 and fan on HIGH and was able to lift the tile easily with a 2 1/2" putty knife. Turned itself completely off twice. Otherwise it was a gem

Super!

I've used many heat guns, but this is my first digital gun. This is also the first gun that I've used that has multiple heat settings (well, other than high/low). I think that's great and I really appreciate how the instructions give recommendations for which setting to use based on what you're using it for. Late last fall I was battling cold temperatures while trying to finish painting the barn. I tried drying spots with my heat gun with varying success. I ended up burning and bubbling it in places. Not good. This gun has lower settings for drying paint.Sweet. There are also settings for removing paint, removing stuck bolts (never thought of that), softening plastic, etc. Another really cool feature in my opinion is the auto cool down feature. I've always switched my gun to cold and run it until I feel cold air. My understanding is that if you simply set it down hot it would burn out. This gun lets you set it down and it will run exactly as long as it needs to in order to cool down. It monitors the air temperature. sweet! I think they could have done a better job with the controls. Rather than cycling through modes with two buttons (time tested, but crude) I think they should have used a multi selector knob with each position labeled with a sample application. This would not only make it easier to use, but also eliminate the need to keep a cheat sheet (or the box) with the gun so you know which setting to use. Unless a competing product offers such controls I guess it's not a big deal. Last night I used it for woodworking glue up. I wanted to "size" endgrain, which absorbs glue and robs the joint. Normally I'd have to wait for that first application to dry before regluing but it dawned on me to try the heat gun on low. Wow. That's a great trick. In a matter of minutes it was dried and I could reapply and finish the job. I like the gun much better than my older manual wagner gun and I definitely recommend it.

The gun is easy enough to use, and I like the automated cool-down feature. However, after using the gun at the highest temperature and flow setting for a few hours, the gun will no longer support that setting. I have to use the next lower temperature with the highest flow setting. In short, I don't think this gun is going to stand up under heavy duty use.

I bought this for a project and tested it out after purchase. I ran the heat gun at the 350 degree setting for about 5 minutes. It worked fine; so I put it away until I had the time to spend on the project. Unfortunately, that 5 minutes of use was all that I got out of it. When I next went to use the gun (to melt the solder pad under an IC chip), it wouldn't heat up very much - even after turning the heat up repeatedly. I tested the temp of the nozzle with an infrared thermometer, and it read 96 degrees on a setting of 950 degrees - even after running at that temp for 3 minutes! I set the gun temp on the highest setting (1350 degrees), and the highest temp at the nozzle only reached 250 degrees. Needless to say, I couldn't even melt the solder at that temp; but, it was able to crinkle some plastic wrap.

I bought this 2 years ago and have used it 3 times. Now it doesn't turn on at all. When the power button is pressed, the lights flash for a moment then shut off, no heat, no fan.... nothing!
