This makes it ideal for tasks such as paint stripping, heat shrink tubing, adhesive removal and plastic forming.

• Consistent temperature – ideal for paint removal and stripping tasks
• Fast heat-up time – ready to work within seconds
• Adjustable heat settings – suitable for delicate materials or heavy stripping
• Unlimited runtime – no battery interruptions
• Excellent value – powerful tools without expensive battery systems
