My Heat Gun Died

[Marc St Louis]

My old one died last year. I went out and bought another but it didn't produce the same amount of heat so I returned it for a different model with more watts.  Still didn't work as well as my old one so I brought that one back and took my old one apart.  Fixed the burnt out coil and now it works well again

Well, drat! Looks like my gun is one of the ones recalled. Oh well, guess I'll get a new free one out of the deal. Fortunately mine hasn't malfunctioned but then again I've only used it about three times since I bought it about two or three months ago.

Gary oughta be getting a kick-back from at least one of the major heatgun manufacturers.  Sounds like he ought to hit up Milwaukee, or Snap-On.  Whats a Snap-On heatgun for anyway?  Stripping paint off an engine block?

I suppose Gary drank Dr Pepper for breakfast?

well it would depend on ther persons job in the industry.
me i am an auto technician,i use them for heat shrink,removing decals etc.
never really had luck removin automotive paints with them,the paint tends to burn before it peels off.

but mostly i bought it because i can right it off at the end of the year as a work tool
even though it gets used on bows more than cars,as far as the IRS is concerned its for work(working on bows that is)
