Cordless Heat Guns

Cordless heat guns enable paint stripping, shrink wrapping, loosening adhesives and thawing pipes far from power outlets.  Adjustable temperature settings and airflow rates let you tailor the heat to the task.  Many feature flat bases for hands free operation and overload protection for safety.

What can cordless heat guns be used for?

Cordless heat guns are highly versatile and ideal for:

• Heat-shrinking tubing in electrical and automotive work

• Paint softening or removal

• Vinyl wrapping and adhesive loosening

• Thawing frozen pipes or padlocks
  They offer the flexibility to work in remote or tight areas without relying on mains power or extension cords.

How powerful are cordless heat guns compared to corded models?

Cordless heat guns typically deliver temperatures between 300–500°C, which is suitable for most light to medium-duty tasks. While they may not match the sustained heat output of high-wattage corded models, modern cordless units—especially on 18V or 36V platforms—heat up quickly and provide sufficient runtime for most workshop or site applications.

What should I look for when choosing a cordless heat gun?

Key features to consider:

• Battery compatibility with your existing cordless platform

• Adjustable temperature settings or dual heat modes

• Nozzle accessories for targeted airflow (e.g. deflector, reducer, reflector nozzles)

• Fast heat-up time and ergonomic, compact design
  Look for models with built-in overheat protection and lock-on functionality for hands-free use.
