Works Really Well Until it Breaks...Twice
I use this type of Wagner heat gun at work and just recently it stopped working. It looks like we got about 10 years of heavy use from this device before it finally failed, and sometimes it was run constantly for hours at a time. I was very satisfied with the old model and just purchased a replacement, hopefully this one will last just as long.
Update - After receiving the new gun I used it for 15-30 minutes and it stopped working. After taking the heat gun apart and measuring the electrical connections it appears the fuse SF240E blew. I replaced the fuse and the gun started working again, but two weeks later the same issue occurred. I had a great experience with their older products, but I cannot recommend the new ones to anyone. After searching a bit it appears this problem is common so I would invest in a different brand.
