Milwaukee 8980 Reviews

Milwaukee 8980 Review by R. Ley "robertl39" (Aptos, CA USA)

Comfortable to hold, rather quiet compared to most heat guns. The little bail on the end to let you stand it up, rather than lay it down on a wood surface and start a fire, is very handy. It comes up to temperature very quickly. I'd buy it again for sure, but according to some of the other reviews I won't have to as it's supposed to last a long time. I've dropped it several times and it still works just fine.

Milwaukee 8980 Review by Ernie Yoshino (Modesto, CA)

Wore the first one out stripping my house. Works great, heats up fast and deflector work great to spread heat so that I can use a stripping blade to remove paint.
Received the in a timely fashion which I was grateful for since my other one wore out in the middle of my project.

Milwaukee 8980 Review by PJ (GTA, Canada)

I took a chance on a discounted $14.88 "made in China" light-duty indoor use only 8067928 Power Fist heat gun which lasted only 90 minutes under continuous use on high output. The owner's manual did advise not to overload the motor for the tool may be damaged. They weren't kidding.

The "made in Germany" Milwaukee 8975 heat gun has outlasted the Power Fist, works like a soldier and softens difficult to remove paint on my cast iron patio table much quicker. I like the unique on/off rocker switch (off, high, low). The unit concentrates the correct amount of heat and doesn't blow gung ho like the glorified Power Fist hair dryer. Standing the unit up on a flat surface is smartly made possible by the built-in support stand.

Dollar for dollar, this entry level heavy-duty kit with a rugged red coloured case, 4 commonly used nozzle attachments and a well written owner's manual is my choice. The 8980 surpasses it's closest competitor the Makita HG1100 Heat Gun which to my knowledge is not sold as a value kit.
