Product Description
The Steinel HL1820S 1800W Heat Gun 240V | Pistol Grip is a mains hot-air tool for heat shrinking, drying, shaping, de-icing and paint removal. If you do your own cabling, heat shrinking is the likely job: warming a plastic sleeve until it tightens round a joint. A heat gun gives you far more even, controllable heat for that than a lighter or naked flame.
