This is a classic beautifully made Makita tool and it serves some of my purposes well. Firstly to defrost the car (carefully) without shattering glass... except the weather immediately changed and I only had one go. Then shrinking heatshrink sleeves on wiring, and bending spectacle frames. I tried to use it for separating a "solvent welded" soil pipe fitting, but I got better results with a briefly applied 240v paint stripper.. It has four attacment nozzles including a heat deflector allegedly for paint stripping next to glass but I have neither needed nor dared to try it! I love it but only give it four stars for maximum power output. I'm not chucking out that thirty year old 240v Bosch.

Standard makita build, but the heat it gives out is not comparable with a mains powered heat gun. It is ok for heat shrink on cables. & defrosting frozen padlocks.but would be slow if stripping paint.

This is.probably the worst makita tool I have ever bought tbh. Not fit for purpose. Would.love to send it back.. Doesn't really get warn..

Steve Ashton, 05/07/2023

It's OK. The metal adaptors that push on seem a bit hit and miss and any long jobs would need a wired heat gun but for quick jobs and convenience it's a winner.

Handy being cordless, if you already have Makita tools then this heat gun is a perfect fit for your tool kit.

Mr Eade, 23/05/2023

Works well and gives reasonable use on one battery charge, if one criticism then I would have preferred higher temperatures !

Awesome, FFX are awesome

Gary Plant, 17/02/2023

This product doesn’t really get that hot. It’s too expensive for what it actually does. I expected more from Makita!! More from Ffx on giving me a refund…

Samuel Guntrip, 21/01/2023

Very good easy to use

Craig Strange, 04/12/2022

Well made, good combination of features.

Nick Williams, 30/08/2022

Great heat gun. Wish it had been available last year, would have saved me buying a DeWalt when I really wanted Makita!!! But both will come in useful so I am not that sorry. The Makita is better though because the accessories do nto fit that well on the deWalt and also that machine has a parasitic battery draw that flattens a battery left attached within a month Dont see what this is when the switch seems purely mechanical but there it is - poor design I am afraid. Hoorah for Makita!!

steve, 30/06/2022

It’s well made as all Makita tools and it’s most powerful in the market but I expected more. The heat gun is good for small jobs, but for heavy use you still gonna need corded one.

Rendijs Sirmovics, 26/06/2022

Very good . Use it for heat shrink on cables, it takes a little longer than a blow torch but much safer and handier .
