Impressive tool for diy tasks
This plastic welder isn't merely another hot air gun collecting dust. With 21 components stored in its robust toolbox, it's effectively the Swiss Army knife of the heat-gun realm. Picture having four different nozzles at your disposal to precisely shape airflow for tasks such as shrink wrapping, paint stripping or even the unusual task of thawing frozen locks. Versatility? Absolutely.Regarding power, 1600W means it gets the job done, heating up or softening your projects efficiently. The variable temperature control is excellent for handling a variety of materials without turning them into mush. The low noise feature is an added advantage, ensuring your neighbours won't file noise complaints midway through your project.While the ergonomic design does its best to prevent strain injuries, let us be honest, even DIY enthusiasts need breaks. You might not be welding the Taj Mahal, but for quality, versatility and tidy storage, this kit is hard to surpass.

Low-noise airflow and ergonomic grip for precise control
As a hobbyist working with PVC piping and electronics, this hot air gun kit has become my go-to tool. The stepless temperature dial lets me dial in gentle heat for shrink tubing or crank it up for paint stripping and plastic welding. The four nozzle shapes let me focus airflow exactly where I need it—whether I’m embrittling old paint or soldering delicate joints. Despite its 1600 W output, the noise level stays reasonable, and the handle feels solid and well-balanced, even during long sessions. The metal toolbox keeps every accessory neatly organized. From thawing frozen locks to crafting custom parts, it tackles every job with confidence.

No problems
I got this for a one off job, Good cheap heat gun for the money, good selection of accessories although the trimming blades and grooving tool blades don’t last long on altro Aquarius flooring so if you have a lot to weld buy more. Attachments are a little loose even when tightened right up but did the job fine.Needs a good few minutes to get to temperature but worked greatOn the whole good value for the price

Big, and crude in some ways, but potentially a handy kit with various uses.
This isn't quite the plastic welder I was expecting, and I don't think it suitable for the type of tasks I had in mind. It's too big and imprecise to be useful for repairing broken trim and internal parts of switches for example.It is essentially a large hot-air gun, supplied as a kit in a nice plastic tool box. The gun is linear, fairly comfortable to hold, but lacks a trigger. The single speed blower is switched on and off with a rocker switch on the rear end, under the cable entry. This is a bit awkward, and nor conducive to fast operation. It would take time to find in an emergency. There is a rotary temperature control adjacent to the switch. The front end of the tool has a large rubber cap that serves as a rest when it is put down, and the gun balances on it quite well, keeping the hot nozzle off the work surface. Two nozzle adaptors are provided, a flat one and a tubular one, both slipping over the gun's nozzle and being secured with a screw and nut. This works, but is not very elegant. The nut tends to turn with the screw. Something like a thumb-screw and captive nut would be easier to use. There are two further adaptors that are a push fit on the tubular nozzle, and are designed for seam-sealing sheet plastic materials and similar tasks. I haven't tried these yet. The kit also includes a spare heating element, plastic rods for use with the sealing adaptors, two bladed tools which appear to be for helping prepare surfaces for welding, a roller, a cleaning brush and an instruction manual. The latter is reminiscent of the hastily-prepared sheets sometimes supplied with oriental equipment in the 1960s and later, being poorly printed and lazily translated. It makes no reference to the accessories in the kit, and is concerned only with the heat gun itself. The listing page is more informative in this respect.I used the flat nozzle to shrink and melt some solder/glue/ shrink tubing wire connectors. The largest one, using 12 AWG wire, shrank as well as with other air guns, but the solder didn't melt. Choosing the highest heat setting didn't help, but using the tubular nozzle did eventually get the job done, although the heat-shrink tubing scorched in one spot. The smallest wire connector, 20 AWG, worked better, but I wouldn't choose this device for that job in preference to a lighter and more convenient DIY paint stripping gun.In summary, this kit has its plus points, such as the kit box, and the long flexible mains cord, but against that is the unproven build quality and unpolished design. I would suggest that care needs to be taken that this is going to be the right tool and will get used enough to justify the £100 (approx) asking price.
