Does just what it is designed for
By Todd J. Niblo
I really like this heat gun. It is commercial quality. It will last for years, can be rebuilt ( if necessary ), the base is very convenient ( this does not cool quite as fast as the variable heat range model ), and always comes up to the same temperature. I think if I were to buy another the variable heat range model, just because there are times when this model is too hot for the project at hand, and varying the distance between the gun and the work is not enough. That is my only complaint w/ this tool, but it is not the tool's fault. If you intend to use this gun for the same project and you don't need to vary the range, this is the heat gun to buy !

Quality you'd expect from Bosch
By johnniemac
I've used this heat gun for many different projects while working on my old house and I am amazed that it still works as consistently as the day I bought it. As with all of my tools, I follow the instructions included - Bosch reccomends you need to let it cool down every once and a while - not use it for extended periods on high. In addition, instead of just turning it *off*, you have to turn it to the no-heat setting, open the side vents full, and let it run til the barrell is no longer warm to the touch. Perhaps that's why my gun has lasted so long? Probably so, because Bosch designed it to be used that way. I also agree with the other reviewer that this is the heat gun to buy. Incidently, I own or have owned about ten Bosch power tools and their accessories from saws and blades to routers and bits, so perhaps I'm biased. However, I also have always noted that Bosch tools seem to rate high in contractor (FHB) and contruction (JLC) magazine reviews. Oh yes - don't forget to buy and use a *respirator* (not a dopey dust mask) when using this tool.

HEAT GUN
By Annette Ensley
I recently purchased the bosch 1942 heat gun. I am very pleased with my purchase. I like the fact that it doen't get hot enough to burn the wood, Although they all have the potential too. The last gun I had would get very hot. Hot enough I would burn the wood.You can really tell the difference in the areas I stripped with the old heat gun and the new one. I would recommend this
heat gun to anyone interested in purchasing such a product.
