DIYers often use small, cordless heat guns for a variety of projects. Common uses include thawing frozen pipes during winter cold snaps, stripping paint and old wallpaper when renovating or redecorating, removing flooring, upholstering or repairing furniture, and more.
Heat guns can even help in the kitchen to quickly defrost the freezer
The maximum operating temperature on these devices ranges, with some reaching as high as 990 degrees Fahrenheit.
Industrial manufacturers use heat guns of variable temperature to perform more complex and heavy-duty undertakings. These tasks can include:
paint stripping
loosening old bolts and screws
bending plastic and metal
removing adhesives
embossing
waxing
shrink wrapping large objects
drying our damp wood or other materials prone to mold
sterilizing tools for proper sanitation
