I can never understand why people get excited about recalls (Yippee, I get a new one). I don’t want to contact/package/send/be without/wait just to get what I originally bought and expected to perform correctly.

I guess this makes sense, but instead of wasting your time sending it in why not just unplug the heat gun after use unless it stops working?

I mean, that would be too easy right?

I only buy the metal encased heat guns that have the temp control as less/more air let in the inlet. I know it’s primitive, but if you are good at feathering the exposure to heat you can get the same results on 90% of material.

Who is going to remind me to call them on Monday morning?

Yeah, I have one too. I remember it was a great rebate deal on Home Depot. After the rebate I think it was $15 or $20. Now I get a new one!

Thanks toolmonger. Now I can tell my wife you are not a waste of my time!

I have one of these as well. No problems with it to-date but I’ll send it in for replacement.

Great info, Thanks!
