 Makita HG1100 Heat Gun March 25, 2008
We have tried just about every heat gun on the market and I can honestly say that this is the "go-to gun". It is dependable, long lasting, and can withstand plenty of abuse.

I liked the heat gun but after a year or two of use the plastic around the nozzle melted. I use it for coffee roasting which had the gun blowing into a stainless steel bowl so perhaps the air flow was not typical. If you are going to use the gun in a container that will 'reflect' the air flow, perhaps you would be better served with a gun with less plastic.
love it! September 21, 2007

Hand down best heat gun on the market. Can't beat the price and durability. This is my second one, had the first for over 8 years, used it just about everyday on the job. Only getting a new one because my co-worker had to move, and TOOK the gun!! I can't blame him though.. if you dont have one, get one.

I was about to buy this gun and wanted some nozzles. Makita nozzles seem to be pretty hard to find. So I called up the customer service and asked if Milwaukee nozzles would fit. Got told "We can't answer any questions about Milwaukee." So I went with Milwaukee's variable-temp heat gun kit instead. Even though it costs more, the parts are readily available, and it looks like Makita is phasing out heat guns (or at least not very interested in supporting them.)

Don't waste your time with any other heat gun. The Makita is the best by far. The temperature adjustment knob is a little bit of a pain to use, but other than that it has the best heat of all the other guns I have used. I used mine to strip all the paint off the exterior of a 2000 sq. ft. bungalow and it is still going strong. I burned up a cheap Harbor Freight model after about 25 hours. I also used the Milwaukie, but it just didn't seem to heat up the paint as well as the Makita. Stripping paint is a boring, tedious job, so treat yourself right and get the job done faster so you can drink beer and watch the grass grow.
