it was perfect.
Use this for bending PETG tubing for my PC. On low setting, it was perfect.

Well made and gets quite hot. Be sure to read instructions.
Works really well. I didn't read the manual and thought it was defective when, after running on full-heat for a while, it wouldn't turn off. Turns out that it needs to run on the cool setting for a little while to cool itself down. Otherwise, you could set it down and the tip could light something on fire. Actually a pretty clever safety feature. Very pleased with the quality.

Easy for Cosplay
My favorite tool for crafting and making costumes. I've only had this for a few days now but it's been simple to use with thermoplastic sculpting. I've used it with worbla and also with resin to speed up the curing process.

Better hot air than my last source...
Now that my ex-wife is not around to blow on shrink tubing for me, this tool provides a great substitute for hot air to get the job done. And, it never asks me for alimony... it heats rapidly and gets the job done. (Note to ex-wife's attorneys: just kidding. Seriously. I mailed the check, I swear.)

Automotive exterior plastic restoration
I bought this knowing that it would be used for many different applications, but the immediate one was to restore the plastic cladding on my Chevy Avalanche which had faded into a dull grey, and stuck out like a sore thumb with the factory black paint. I saw youtube videos that showed that this was far more effective than buying and applying liquid lies. I couldn't for the life of me find anything in my garage to hang this thing on, so I knew the error of my ways when I could smell my trash bin lid melting. Be sure to have a hook or nail to hang this on, so that you don't destroy the first thing you set this on like me. It's light, it's really light, I didn't expect it to work, I looked inside the box for the rest of it. But sure enough, it made me a believer. It has two settings, Hot, and Really Hot. I used the Really Hot setting for the plastic cladding, and followed a swirling pattern like my Master Miyagi instructed me to. The results are in the pictures I am attaching to my review. This can easily be used for other plastic parts on various vehicles, but test in a small area which you can really mess up and not get yelled at by the wife because it looks dumb. A heat gun has many purposes, tinting windows, shrink wrapping/window sealing, removing caulk, loosening glued on items, and as you can see, automotive plastic restoration, done mostly sober. I hope you enjoyed this review, and if you found it helpful, let me know. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I appreciate it.

It melts plastic very well
This worked very well to melt a dolls face for a Halloween prop. I'll probably use it on some of my artwork too. If you want to see the doll's face melting, you can watch the video on Instagram: [...]

Works Great For Shrink Wrap
I purchased this heat gun for shrink wrapping. I was worried it might be too powerful, but using this gun on the "low" setting seems to provide the perfect amount of heat for shrink wrap. It seems like it's a great quality gun and should last a long time.

Works great to shrink window wrap
Every winter I wrap my apartment windows in plastic. It keeps the cold out & cuts my heating bill. While putting it up is the hardest bit, it can often be the quickest. It can take a long time to heat-shrink the wrap if you use a hairdryer. Yes, it's probably safer, but it's very slow and very inefficient, and you have to run it on high for a long time. And, it's LOUD! I use this heat gun on 'low' setting, and it works very well. Do not hold it close to the wrap, or hold it in place for too long—or it will burn a hole. Holes are easily taped, but you don't want holes, right? So don't hold it close, and move it in circles, so heat doesn't concentrate too long in one spot. This gun is very quiet and it's fast! I can do a window in a few minutes what might take 20 or longer with the hair-dryer. I like this thing.

and easily. It's very lightweight though not quite compact (about ...
This heat gun is very versatile with its 12 temperature settings (250° - 1350° F) and with the 2 heat diffusing/focusing attachments. The wide attachment diffuses heat over a large area while the narrower attachment concentrates heat over a smaller area. You can further refine the heat dispersal by varying the distance of the heat gun to the target object. One more adjustment: fan speed can be set to low or high, too! I use this for heat shrink tubing and the heat gun is more than adequate. Heat tubing has a rated minimum of 212° - 350° F, depending on the type of tubing. I use this gun on > 350° F + the narrow attachment + low fan for my heat shrink tubing and managed to get the tubing to shrink very uniformly, quickly, and easily. It's very lightweight though not quite compact (about the size of a hair dryer). The temp depends on (i) fan speed (indicated by LED low or high) and (ii) level (indicated by LED scale): (1) on the low fan speed: level 1 is 250° F level 2 is 450° F level 3 is 650° F level 4 is 750° F level 5 is 950° F level 6 is 1150° F (2) on the high fan speed: level 1 is 350° F level 2 is 550° F level 3 is 750° F level 4 is 950° F level 5 is 1150° F level 6 is 1350° F --- This is a very versatile heat gun with a very useful temperature range, dual fan speeds, and two diffusing/focusing attachments for a variety of applications. It more than meets the requirements for my needs.

Ht1000 a very, very good 2 temp heat gun
It's a properly designed nozzle with a output baffle; it's not intended to provide focused, or directional heat but there are attachments if your application requires that. Heats up fast and makes easy work of heat shrink tubing at low temperature (if you can wait the extra 15 seconds!) which is around 750 deg. No problem at all with marine duty tubing, and H will do the job on solder seal better, more uniformly than a butane iron in "afterburner" mode. I would not characterize the HT1000 as "bulky" or awkward or hard to handle. This tool should not be mistaken or thought of as a hair dryer in construction yellow skin. It's a tool that gets extremely hot blisters paint with only seconds of exposure. The object being heated can easily melt or warp if not careful. If you've used the top of the washing machine for iron on work- you'll have a paint-free lid using this gun. Regardless of the make or preference of heat gun- one must be ever, ever mindful not to make accidental contact with any part of the nozzle; and keep fingers well away and clear from the exhaust. I use it for kit, DIY/electronic, breadboard types of projects. For price/performance, this gun is a great value and extremely high utility for those types of applications. If you need more discrete temperature control and other features such as rapid cool down- this gun is probably not the right fit.
