At the time I wanted to buy a heat gun, milwaukee didn't make one. So I bought an $18 amazon knockoff. I've been abusing it ever since, and very happy with it. The batteries provide the battery protection, so I'm not worried about toasting the batteries.

Got a link? Sounds like an acceptable price to stray from the Milwaukee brand.

Budget a 5.0 pack before counting on the 40-connection runtime; that number is measured on an XC 5.0 and this is tool-only.

I have this and it is nice and convenient but definitely not worth even $100 if you compare to even the cheapest harbor freight corded unit. Again it's nice and I do like it but for heat guns I would only recommend cordless if it's an absolute need and even then I'd probably roll the dice on a knock off as suggested by the other user.

tempting as i'm already in the milwaukee system. there's plenty of $20 heat gun you can get from amazon or HB but they do take up a lot of space in your tool box with the gun, cord and that metal plate that act as a stand. Most of the time I only need the gun for a 5min operation so this is a nice convenient factor but is it worth the $100 for that convenient.

Same. Very much an edge case for me as well. In the few times where I needed a heat gun without an outlet nearby, I've used an ecoflow power station.

I don't recall seeing this many cordless heat guns on sale in the past years.

I bought the Ridgid heat gun with 900F and take 10 seconds to hit the operating temperature. I got this with the 2ah battery kit on 7/2 for $64.50.

On 10/16 I found the Ryobi 18V heat gun on sale for $45 shipped from DTO. It's 875F and also takes 10 seconds to reach the operating temp.

Dewalt heat gun is currently $89 at Amazon. Heats up to 990F, I didn't find the time it takes to reach the operating temperature, but it does say 42 min of run time on a 5ah battery.

The Milwaukee only takes 7 seconds to reach operating temp of 875F.

I have this. I love Milwaukee. This is a terrible heat gun barely shrinks heat shrink takes forever to heat up. If you want it to match your tools fair enough, but if you actually need a heat gun skip this one.

I am fairly sure that M18 batteries DON'T provide low-voltage cutoff for deep discharge protection, so please caveat emptor that one. I do think though that even some of the cheap aftermarket tools do, so you may still be safe.
