Pros & Cons
Cons
This is the first time i’ve been absolutely unsatisfied with a makita product. About as hot as a hairdryer. But to be brutally honest, this heat gun is awful.
Highlights
Quality
Great gun the battery last and it heats great
Great for light to medium duty applications.
I wanted this for the quick one-off heat shrink application or thawing out a lock, etc.
Works great some 2/0awg down to 22awg.
Price
It's expensive but if you use something everyday it should be of high quality.

While it doesnt get as hot as the 110v unit it saves from having a cord running into the car

I dislike the case that it came in so i 3d printed a mount to hold the gun and the nozzles
