Heat Gun

[Willem Blees]

I have the Weller. I have never used the Ungar, but from the description, it looks like the Weller would be a better tool. In 31 years in business, I have only bought 4. The cold air switch is very useful. You should turn it to cold when you're done using the hot, to cool down the heating element slowly.That helps in the long run. I don't think there is a need to go higher than 800 degrees, which is the option with the Ungar. Also, I think the tip is smaller on the Weller. I've never used the attachments, but it looks like the Weller gives you four, instead of two. 

Just my 4 cents (inflation) worth

In the newest Schaff catalog on p. 77, can someone tell me the difference between the $155.93 Weller Heat Gun and the $63.99 Ungar Heat Gun?? I'm just wondering why the almost $100 difference.

?

I am trying not to go with cheap, and sometimes by paying more you get a better advantage, but I just want to know if the Weller Gun is worth the money.

?

Thanks all,

Matthew
