Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

However, the heat output receives mixed reviews, with some saying it heats up things really well while others find it disappointingly low.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2023Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseOkay, I purchased this as a heat gun for shrinking cable tubes, and to be honest it works fine. It's pretty simple to use, top switch for heat settings, safety switch on the trigger and that's pretty much it. I have only just used it lightly for shrink wrap ties, and have no intention of using it for paint stripping. So it doe the task that I needed it for. I did look at cheaper options, but since I already own a Dewalt drill and have the batteries I didn't want any more rechargeable batteries hanging around. With the exception of my Ryobi !

5.0 out of 5 stars Ganz ehrlich, für das was es ist, ist es super 👍
Style Name: SingleVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
Ja, und das selbst mit den kleinen 2.0Ah Akkus 👌
Wem das nicht reicht, für den gibt es bereits sehr günstige, kabelgebundene Heißluftpistolen. Die haben dann auch 2000 Watt und schaffen teilweise mehr als 650° 🤷♂️
Ich bin mit der kleinen Dewalt absolut zufrieden, auch wenn die angegebenen Temperaturen* von 290° / 530° meiner Meinung nach, nicht erreicht werden.
Aber für Schrumpfschlauch reicht es mehr als locker und selbst kleinere Folierungen gelingen tadellos 👍
Klar frühstückt das Teil Akkus regelrecht weg, aber das sollte eigentlich jedem von vornherein klar sein.
Kurz und knapp, mir gefällt die kleine, leichte und qualitativ wertige Dewalt, auch wenn die gern etwas günstiger sein dürfte 😬
* die in meinem Video zu sehenden Temperaturen stellen nicht das Maximum, der erreichbaren Temperaturen dar, da ich lediglich einen kleinen 2.0Ah Akku für den Test benutzt habe.
Mit einem 5.0Ah Akku können die Werte vollkommen anders ausfallen!
