I bought this over the weekend, the heat gun doesn’t heat up enough. Didn’t have a thermometer but I doubt that it reached the claimed temperatures. I use on VP stick membrane during cooler months. Doesn’t blow enough hot air.

Without making this sound strange it just doesn’t blow enough hot air and absolutely eats battery life. I use a heat gun applying self adhesive membranes just on the edges and it takes forever with this tool. For the conscience of being cordless it slows me down than running a cord.

He done works good. Best feature is that I don’t have to hassle with cords when using.

Good tool for what it's made for
This is a nice compact & portable heat gun for small jobs, especially where dragging a power cord would be inconvenient. I've used it to repair breaks in our underground dog fence, and my wife has used it for some vinyl stencil work in her crafting (I've also used it to release bubbles in epoxy resin pours).
Compared to my corded heat gun, it does not produce NEAR the volume of air, and I haven't compared max temps between the two. I'd say they're probably close enough it doesn't matter - but the air volume I did find a little disappointing. You're not going to work quick with this tool, but for some applications, that's okay.

Perfect for delicate work
This heat gun is perfect for delicate work. Example being decal removal from vehicles. It puts out just enough heat but not too much that you need to worry about damaging the factory paint near or under said decal.
The trigger system works great and comes with attachments.
If you've a rapid charger it will recharge a 4 or 5 ah battery by the time you you run out. In other words if you've a lot of heat gun work to do make sure you've got two batteries.

Not what I was expecting from DeWalt
Reading the other reviews mine must be different. I can hold it 3/4” away from shrink tubing and after about 3 min it will start to shrink it. The shields are loose and fall off all the time.

Great Heat Gun For Small Projects
This is a great heat gun for small and quick projects. I purchased it to dry small areas of paint, wet drywall, shrink wrap, as well as for other miscellaneous projects around my home. It doesn't disappoint. It heats up fast, gets as hot as advertised and the safety and continuous trigger lock make it comfortable to use and prevent accidental triggering. The build is what I expect from DeWalt. The grip is comfortable, the gun itself doesn't get hot, it feels solid and isn't too heavy(though 4+ Ah batteries make it significantly heavier.
My only complaint is that it drains batteries fast (less than 15 mins continuous use on a 4 Ah fully charged battery), the heater parts stay hot well after use and the gun can't stand up without the battery. However, I do think DeWalt compensated for the hot issue by including lots of rubber parts including side bumpers that keep the hot parts off of surfaces. The gun would just need to cool before storing away.

It did the job I was wanting to get done. It took a bit longer than I expected do to the fact The fan could’ve been a bit stronger. The compact design was nice. The led light was nice but wasn’t necessary, to have an option to turn it off would be a plus. Other than that, a Great product.

It sounds like a great tool. I love the fact that it's cordless so no risk there. And the lock feature sounds great for handsfree operation. I would love to give it more stars but I don't have the tool so can't write a full review.
