Wagner Spraytech 0503038 HT400 Heat Gun, Dual Temperature Hot Air Tool 680 and 450 Degrees, Shrink Tubing, Embossing, Craft Projects, Sticker Removal Heat Gun

I’m mostly using this for heat shrink tubing over soldered wires, and it’s fantastic! Way better than fighting with my big heat gun and safer than a lighter. I love the built in stand. It’s more expensive than the competition but the safety certification and great build and design are worth every penny.

This makes heat shrink work so easy. No more messing around with matches and torches. Even shrink with no burnt spots. No half shrunk tube because you were afraid to burn it. I am sure that if you go bananas with this you could mess something up. But I am not super skilled and this tool makes me look like an expert.

works perfect for heat shrink tubing.

Good product overall, specially for the cost and design. I am a beginner into soldering and loving the experience. I would recommend this product.

Initial unit purchased from Amazon May 2023, failed July 2024. Had just used a few times as this is special use tool. Ended up contacting Wagner to get help as unit has a 2 year warranty. The product service person at Wagner came through. He just needed some confirmation information and set a replacement unit. 5 Stars for Wagner customer service and Wagner for standing behind their product.

Highly recommended. I grabbed this as the price was well below MSRP plus it was on my heart's gotta have wish list. I found out about this tool through Jennifer McGuire, a biggy in the papercrafting world. She puts out a yearly "Favorite things of.....(whatever year) on YouTube. Low and behold, she had this embossing tool which she refers to as the "granddaddy of all embossers". I leaped to search for this tool on Amazon and there it was. She wasn't kidding.It heats up very quickly to a hot temperature which is desirable for embossing. Melts the powder more quickly than any tool I ever had. And I have been a rubberstamper for over 30 years and a papercrafter for over 10 years. So, I am speaking from experience with other models including Marvy which I USED to think was the best ever.TIP: This thing gets really hot very quickly. So, make sure to save guard against any burns on ur skin or surfaces. Also do not over kill the heating of the powder as you might do with other embossing tools. This bad boy is so quick.As far as sealing plastic bags like some people might want to use this tool for, I honestly cannot say as I have never done this. So you would have to see how much watts (?) u would need to do trick.In ending, I hope I have been helpful as Jennifer McGuire was for me. Let me also say that although it might me more expensive than other heat tools, trust me I say that it is worth the additional cost.The end.

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: I have now purchased 2 of these heat guns and BOTH of them stopped working after just a handful of uses! It heated up my embossing powder annd then started smoking and gave out! Everyone says this is the best gun, but I’m not a beginner crafter and know how to use and care for my tools—so why is this not working?! I am not covering the vents; it is plugged in; I do not use it nonstop; and I do not allow it to get dusty. I am so frustrated that I’ve spent my money on the same issue TWICE! I really like this gun when it works, but for the price it should work more than maybe ten times tops. Absolutely disappointed in this brand name tool and will go back to my cheap tool that still works after 5 years!Pros: Fits well in my hand. Heats quickly & evenly. Nice stand for hands-free option. Two temps.Cons: Quit working after a handful of uses. Will not turn on. Tried multiple plugs, restarts, different temps, etc. Too expensive to give out on me so quickly.Overall: Hoping this one is a lemon. I like it enough to try purchasing it again, but if this happens twice, I will know it isn’t a fluke and my review will drop to 0. :(

works just as described perfect absolutely great!
