Get it, cause that's a good price- but it'll burn out much quicker than a more expensive one. ;)

I've had one burn up after 2 uses (took it back), and I had one go after 6-8 months... I always buy two now just in case something happens in the middle of a job I have a backup.  :)   I won't buy an expensive one if I can just keep buying the cheapo ones... Oh yeah don't drop it either, they don't do well with shock.  :) :)

I agree with the yellow Wagner heat guns ($20).  The Harbor Freight varieties do have a tendency to burn out rather quickly.

All I can say is like most everything else,you get what you pay for,I stess Most of the time,So buy the best you can afford. I have owned some cheap ones early on and they didn't last very long,I bought a blue point from my Snap-On guy and have used it for several years,and it gets used a lot
around my shop.  :)

just thought i would let guys know if they were looking to buy one from harbor freight anyway they might as well get one even cheaper. have bought air staplers their too that sucked seems like every three you get a good one. have had the last stapler going on three years now and it has shot alot of staples.

I have been using the Wagner from walmart that I paid under $20 for.  I have been using it for a year and a half, and it works great.  When it dies, I will get the same one.
