When I first got it out, I started it up, I hardly ever read instructions, and figured it all out very quickly, so it's easy to operate. It seems a bit weak (not having tried one before), but it does the job; having tried a test piece of shrink tubing on a toothpick, it started to shrink tight after a few seconds, maybe 10-15 seconds. I had to hold it fairly close to do an efficient job, couple of inches, but it did the job just fine. It smoked a little when it heated up, and a couple of times that I used it since, possibly just oils burning off. We'll see. It would have been nice to have at least one nozzle to add to the end, so the heat could be more concentrated, but the next model/price up does have several included. But I found that even without a nozzle, it was concentrated enough that even while holding the toothpick, I didn't feel the heat on my fingers enough that I had to let go. The end does get very hot, and I have to be careful where I lay it down. And not to touch it for several minutes. I won't be using this a lot, as I only have an occasional need for it, but I needed something that would do the job when I wanted it. I haven't tried it on paint to strip it, so cannot comment on that. Overall, I am very happy with it, not too expensive, and it does a decent job. Read full review

This is our third one. We use it everyday. This model is powerful than it's competitors. And the price was great. Wouldn't want to use any other.

Hope this is the last heat gun I will ever need to buy. I have tried less expensive ones that have a limited life span. The Porter Cable is heavier than the cheaper models, I think this is a good thing. I am putting a lot of stock in the Porter Cable also.

I was able to remove several undesirable stickers that were on my vehicle with the aid of this heat gun. Made things easy to accomplish. I have several Porter Cable tools and all have been durable with great results.
