Reviews and returns
What reviews say buyers love and hate about Makita Heat Gun
What buyers praise, what they complain about and why they send it back, from the reviews.
Complain
Although, it seems like the quality is not as robust and good as some well known makes
Quality
Absolute rubbish
Rubbish does not get hot enough to strip paint
not hot enough to remove paint
definitely not hot or powerful enough to strip paint
does not work at all
Not sure how this should work or if I'm doing anything wrong
does not include a battery or charger
Obviously for heavy jobs you'd need more than one battery as the gun does use a lot of power to generate the higher heat so battery life becomes shorter before requiring a recharge
not as powerful as a mains power version
Not that powerful
Love
