Worx MakerX WX743L.9 20V Mini Heat Gun (Tool Only)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As I've mentioned in other reviews, I have the entire Makerx set of tools and accessories. I have found the Mini Heat Gun to be useful for a number of tasks, and not quite up to the task in one instance, which I'll detail below. I love how light and easy to handle this tools is. I've mostly used it to salvage display screens from laptops. The bezel that helps hold them in has a good amount of adhesive that makes it difficult to remove them without cracking. The application of heat around the perimeter of the bezel softens the adhesive and allows them to be removed without damage. I've done this to at least 150 laptops with excellent results. Now, this tool gets hot, hot enough to start melting plastic if you hold it in one spot too long. However, unlike full-sized heat guns, it is light in weight and easy to keep moving. I love that the plastic guard that surrounds the metal head remains cool enough to touch (and won't instantly melt your project if it happens to touch it briefly). I've also used it to help evaporate water spilled into a laptop, it helps it dry quickly. Battery life it good, but not spectacular, as is to be expected with a heat-generating device. I can probably to at least 10 laptop screen removals before swapping out the 2A battery. This is by no means a serious limitation. Now, what won't this do? I use those little self-soldering butt connectors for simultaneously soldering and heat-shrinking two wires together. This is perfect for the heat-shrink (and heat-shrink in general); however, it does not quite get hot enough to melt the solder like a full-size heat gun does. If Worx could add a "turbo" button for a brief shot of extra heat, I think it would be perfect for the job. I was a little disappointed, but not every tool is appropriate for every job. In summation, this is a useful addition to your collection of Makerx tools, and can handle many tasks. I think it represents good value for money, and I would recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found the Mini Heat gun to be a very good tool. I'm very pleased with the quality, and its performance.

Having retired from running an EE lab at the local technical college, I no longer have access to a full electronics bench. But I still wind up needing to configure or repair signal and data cables at home. This heat gun is perfect for heat-shrink tubing, once the connections are made. Undoubtedly my wife will find some crafty stuff to use it for, as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this tool combo for my husband. He really likes the set and uses them often. They are a great value and the tools have held up well to his frequent use of them. Overall it was a great gift, value, and quality.

I had been avoiding this purchase until I had a need. When I finally ordered I was amazed at what I could do with the rotary tool. Great tool, very useful, well thought out like every other worx tool I have purchased.

Love this tool, so light and easy to use and quick heat, pinpoint application and very durable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were looking for a rotary tool and heat gun to do our DIY home projects and came across this multi-tool combo kit which comes with heat gun and rotary tool attachments. The rotary tool accepts standard bits from all well known brands and has a brushless motor for longer use with strong power capabilities. The heat gun is battery powered and blows hot air at 500 degrees Fahrenheit continuously. The heat gun has precision nozzle which can control the location and heat direction. It comes with a flexible cord, storage bag, 20v powder battery a storage case and a hub. A great kit for all home FIY home project needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first item I used the Maker X rotary tool for was to make an arch in a glass opening in a bird feeder. What a wonderful job the tool did. I was able to easily grind a larger opening to enable the squirrels to get the food. The heat gun, that came in the kit Expertly dried epoxy I was using in my wood shop. These two tools are a wonderful addition to my wood working shop

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this product to edge some small wood pieces that I had for a small project I was working on. I thought it was easy to use and helpful with the design I wanted. I'm not sure how often I'd use this product, but for the size of it and convenience for small projects, it's worth having.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Me and my uncle build bookshelves and other wood crafts. This tool is absolutely perfect! Just the right size. Excellent quality! I love the bits it comes with in their box. The bag for everything is very durable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this heat gun to go with my other two combo kits. I use it on heat shrink tubing for electrical connections

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like almost every WORX product I've bought in the last couple decades this is a pleasure to use. It's great for small, quick tasks that make it inconvenient to dig the full-size heat gun out of the tub with all the other painting implements. Plus, it's much more accurate for little parts. The kickstand is also a good feature.

I brought this for myself for Christmas and love it. Using in my crafting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually got this for my husband as a Christmas present and I am sure that he is going to love it and it will perform as well as all the other WORX tools that we have.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time to ever have something like this and I can't believe I've never had one. Works great for removing paint which is why I bought it. I'm restoring and old door and this is just what the doctor ordered. You'll love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to do small projects. It has plenty of power and heat. Easy to use and is great for bench work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this with the power supply and they work great. So many projects I have used this tool with and it does not disappoint at all. Works it the best.

This heat gun is perfect for working with heat shrink and other related projects.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my wife and she love's it

I bought this about two weeks ago, and although the fan works, couldn't get it to heat up. Really worthless.
