Dependable and low noise heat machine
Hello everyone. This review is meant for the professional heat gun 1500W. I mainly use it for resizing pvc and soldering pipes and various cables. It has decent attachments that can really be helpful. There are four of those. It’s said to work for five hundred hours however I got it working for tops two or three hours no problems. I would not have that many hours to perform jobs like that. I find it useful that it has two years warranty on it. In the video I took, I wanted to provide the sound that it makes. I find it not so loud at all. There are two improvements I find them a must do for the future. A ground prong must be added and the heat settings can be indicated on the handle bar, though this can be optional. I don’t really mind seeing the setting I, II and III, bottom to the top.That’s all I got to say about this product. Thanks.

Flatbed tarp patched
I didn’t wanna spend 300+ on a pro tool, so I bought this gun. The only use I got for it is patching the traps of my flatbed. I wanted to try something different than vinyl glue. I read many reviews of different hot air guns, and since most are about the same price, I went with the official amazon tool designed by them. I figure that if it was not good enough it would be an easy return. Today it was put to work, I did 5 Big patch already and the results are awesome. It packs the necessary heat for 18oz vinyl to use the soldering method of patching rather than glueing! The gun is already worth the money I spend since a good vinyl glue would cost me about half the price but I would have used it all. If it last for one more round, with another tarp I need to fix it will be cheaper than glue and better, since once the vinyl melts both pieces are gone be patch forever! Thanks for the amazing gun at a good price!Update. I was finishing patching my tarp and one of the kids broke the Christmas light on my yard. Got a water bottle cup and soldered the two pieces back together. I guess it got more used than what I though!

Does not heat to specification
I used thermal couples to find what the heat output was at each interval and I was sadly disappointed when I found that none of the settings actually produced their rated heat output. The maximum output by this device was only 850*F at the nozzle. It also was not even throughout the circumference of the unit either, some spots were a full 100*F colder than others.Bottom line, if you need a heat gun that produces a true 1000*F+ air, look elsewhere.Also, to those that are trying to light paper or wood on fire with this, that will never happen! Basic physics is at play here and all you will do is create carbon with it or make coals from a grill really hot. Fast moving air = no flame, but can set things on fire given enough absorbed heat and time away from moving air.

Great for removing bubbles from resin
I make custom craft eyes out of resin; this heat gun is perfect for removing bubbles from the resin before it cures because it has a lower heat setting than most other heat guns I've seen. I appreciated the accessories it came with; I assume if you're planning on using this for its intended purposes, they would be very useful, but for the time being, I haven't actually needed them. I did try putting some on, though, and they fit securely to the nozzle and are also easy to remove (once cooled, of course). Overall, I'm very happy with it. It heats up quickly.

Perfect at first/ maybe? READ UPDATE
So we have purchased 3 of these heat guns. The worked amazingly. But close to three months one dies. Then a week later the second one dies. The fans still work on them but now it won’t heat up at all.We registered all three guns when we bought them. So we have turned in for a warranty. At first they said no problem. Then later via email they said we needed a video showing what the problem was. Again said we will send new ones out. But wait, now they send another email asking that we video both heat guns. So we made one.This is where we are in this process today. I’m hoping we got a bad batch of heat guns and they will last. But it doesn’t look good currently. The third heat gun is still running but we didn’t take it out of the box until the others died.I will update this when we get warranties fulfilled and if the third heat gun goes beyond three months.Update 8/21/19We bought three and all three died after three months of use.The company sent replacements for them. Now about three months all have died again.We won’t continue bothering with the warranty we will look for a better product.

Fantastic quality
I wasn't expecting this to be as good as it is. I wasn't familiar with the brand but I'll say it's worth the money for sure. It's feels great in the hand and it's a monster. This will literally take the paint off of your car or melt shrink bands. The adjustment dial is so much better than any other heat gun I have ever used. This is a top notch, high quality, well made product and I'm very satisfied. Thanks Taklife and Amazon! A+++

prefect tool to separate lcd from digitizer
I purchased Tacklife HGP73AC Heat gun to repair the broken screen of my phone. It is a prefect tool to separate lcd from digitizer. It features 1600 watt heat power, adjustable heat settings so I can use it for plenty of things. It has a built-in stand for convenience. It comes with two deflector nozzles that protect glass and other surfaces, and a reflector nozzle that speeds up the process. Also, it comes with an air reduction nozzle. Pros: Adjustable heat setting, four different nozzles, built-in stand. Cons: It doesn’t include a case for storage

Fantastic heat gun for the price!
Adjustable temperature and air flow is fairly uncommon at this price point. The controls for air flow (and to turn it off) are on the handle itself - unlike some high price units where they put it on the back/top of the heat gun - this way you can turn it on and control air flow with one hand. Temperature needs a second hand but this is still a fantastic heat gun.
