Grab the DeWalt over the Milwaukee if you can, its a much better tool.

The DeWalt functions better as a heat gun than the Milwaukee.

A very compelling argument 👍🏻

I don't know what else to say. They do the exact same thing, one works better than the other. Its pretty common knowledge that this tool isn't very good. I paid less than half of this price for my DeWalt with the compact 4.0ah kit a little while back. This tool should be a hard pass.

Some people, myself included, can't go back in time when we rushed to buy the best tool for each application simply because we don't want to deal with dozen of different battery systems. So how about being a lil more subjective instead of personal feeling.

How quickly does this gun heat up compared to the Dewalt? How about max temp? Battery run time? Build? Etc.. Thanks

There is a video above that tells you all you need to know. Limiting yourself to a single battery platform is crazy. There are so many deals that include battery and charger and free batteries with purchase that there is no reason to limit yourself. Buy the best tool for the job no matter what battery platform it is on.

I have a Dewalt 20v heat gun and I am hoping that this one does a better job than it. I am hoping that this one has a little better battery consumption and that it works faster for doing shrink fittings for wire connectors and terminals. My Dewalt has absolutely terrible battery life on a 6ah battery.

This isn't even close to as good as the DeWalt. If you want better, go Makita.

Guess I will have to give a workout in my own shop to see how it compares for my use. Home Depot will gladly take it back if I don't find it to be better than the one I already have. I do have to wonder why Milwaukee didn't include a trigger lock like they did on both the Dewalt and Mikita.

Because it's not a very good tool. It's almost as if you are starting to see what everyone has been saying before you even get the tool.
