This is today's cool tool is the power tool heat gun. This is a simple tool that can be used in your garage, car and home more than you can imagine.
Heat can make many jobs easier. Heat can help loosen stuck fasteners, soften plastic, activate or loosen adhesives, and more. A heat gun can provide these required scalding temperatures.
The adjustable heat gun also provides enough heat to soften the adhesive. This is great for removing old stickers or taking apart pieces that might get stuck, like lampshades or upholstery. They can even be used with heat activated adhesive to repair leather and vinyl.
I bought this heat shrink gun sometime last year to help someone install vinyl wrap on their car. The tools in the app can be used to shape wraps and remove waviness.
These tools implement this utility in a very simple way. They usually consist of a fan and a heating element, with the fan blowing air over the heating element.
The heat they give off is enormous. My plastic heat gun claims to heat up to 1148 degrees. I don't have a thermometer to measure the heat generated on the surface of the project, but it can melt or burn things if I'm not careful.
