Heat guns are a versatile tool that can be used for a variety of tasks. They are typically powered by electricity and have a variable heat setting, which allows you to control the amount of heat that is applied. Heat guns can be used to remove paint from a variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, and glass. They can also be used to shrink heat shrink tubing, which is a type of tubing that is used to insulate electrical wires. Heat guns can also be used to bend metal, such as sheet metal or aluminum tubing.

Torches are another type of heat tool that can be used for a variety of tasks. They are typically powered by propane or butane and produce a high-intensity flame.

  • Electric heat guns

Each type of heat gun or torch has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Electric heat guns are typically the most versatile, but they are also the least powerful.

When choosing a heat gun or torch, it is important to consider the specific tasks that you will be using it for.
