It's never good to let the smoke out of electrical toys... ----- Original Message ----- From: Spiro To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2009 11:14 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] father's day early
Howdy, yesterday at about 10PM my heat gun sped up and popped emitting much smoke. This morning my brother in law arrived with a $20 Chicago model that he says was on sale at Harbor Freight. It has 3 buttons on back. < power > touch the power button once and it's in low, 450 to 950 dg F Touch the power button twice and it is in high 1600 dgF. The high has 5 positions of which the 1600 is the highest, so using the < button will keep you in high range with variability. The low has 5 settings. It seems to keep setting, and has a 80 sec cool down mode. (I am not sure why that is necessary) So after only a short while of concern, the weight has been lifted off of my shouldrs by a call my wife made, that I hadn't any awareness. smiling. I'll tell ya, it has a 90 day, and these are gonna be some hard days on it. So I'll keep ya posted if it's worth anything. I don't have the receit, so am not sure of the exact, just what I was told. Thanks for any who answered, in advance. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
