.....and during a burn ban, you could use it for smore treats.

A heat gun is also good when applying VHB and other tapes. Warm it up, roll it and it sticks much better with no air bubbles.

Good tips Tito. I have a similar Harbor Freight heat gun, but I often forget I have it. My bad. But I just used it the other day to remove a label. I hate Home Depot bar code labels on their hardwoods, but heat gun works good on them.

Twenty years ago I started roasting 400g batches of coffee using the “HGDB” (heat gun dog bowl) method, and am still roasting coffee (2.5kg batches) here in NZ(using a larger hot air roaster). Now I have more uses for the HG!

It has some uses for spray painting or applying body filler such as warming up the surface and drying it in cold conditions before applying the paint/filler. Also, if you spray clear coat in humid conditions it can dry in a cloudy state which can be rectified by blowing over the area with a heat gun the next day before it is fully cured.

You're my favorite content creator I didn't really grow up around any adults who used tools and my parents never really maintenanced anything themselves. Now as an adult I'm wanting to do things myself but I'm finding that I know nothing about how to do things on my own. I can't afford to hire someone to do things for me so I've been so overwhelmed with how ignorant I am to repair and maintenance and how things function. Your channel has helped me not feel so hopless I'm always learning things from you and smiling at your commentary. I'm so grateful for your videos, thank you 🙏

While there is no real substitute for a full size heat gun (and I have a couple of differently-sized units for home use) I find in my space-limited RV toolkit that I prefer a butane-powered "heat tool". It can be used as a small heat gun (and actually works better for small wire heatshrink) and it has soldering tips. There are a number of such devices available; I personally have a Portasol Super Pro.

Never realised about the labels and tape on boxes before! 🙂

Love the way you explain the heat gun. Thank you very much for the time you spend on making this clip.

The attachment you showed on the heat gun that directs the air upwards is the attachment that can be used to heat up tubing or shrink evenly all sides including the bottom without having to twist The Wire.

I love my heat gun as well; I agree it is an excellent bolt loosening tool. I also use it for defrosting my RV fridge. I can defrost the entire fridge in less than 10 minutes then start using it again. Just be very careful to keep the gun moving at a distance ( >12" from surface). Regarding other tool videos, I would love to see your collection of multimeters. Pros and cons of having multiple multimeters.(ie clamp and wire probe type)

Hi Brian. Great video. Something I have found with my heat gun is it helps stuck bolts to combine the heat with penetrating oil or spray. Also, if you know that a bolt is set with thread locker, heat can help soften the lock-tite. Then apply firm and steady pressure with the correct tool. It has worked for me every time. Please keep the great content coming. 👍
