The Steinel 34261 HG 2000 E electronically controlled heat gun emits airstreams of 14.8 cubic feet per minute (CFM) at temperatures ranging from 120 to 1,100 degrees F. The output temperature can be varied continuously with the thumbwheel. The straight form gun has electronic thermocouple control to regulate the output temperature, and accepts a wide variety of nozzles and accessories. It is suitable for many applications from welding roofing materials and industrial fabrics to stripping paint and touching up shrink wrap.

Specifications

Heat guns are hand tools that emit a stream of heated air at variable temperatures up to 1,300 degrees F (700 C). Most guns have an electrical heating element to control output temperatures and adjustable fan motors to regulate and focus airflow. Heat guns with high airflow output (greater than approximately 20 cubic feet per minute) are sometimes called heat blowers. Heat guns can be used for a variety of applications ranging from copper and plastic welding to touching up shrink wrap. Accessory nozzles (sold separately) are used to shape the air stream over a wider area, or direct it around pipes and tubing for even heating which prevents adjoining surfaces (such as panes of glass) from overheating, and some heat gun models incorporate workbench stands to allow hands-free operation.

Steinel manufactures heat guns, glue guns, gas torches, and sensors. The company, founded in Germany in 1959, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 standards and is Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant.
