Black & Decker HG1300 Heat Gun Product Review
As of the time of this writing, it's been about three years since I got the HG1300 heat gun by Black & Decker. The HG1300 heat gun has only seen light use in those three years to assist during cold weather paint jobs, bending PVC and acrylic sheets, and scorching the bubbles out of curing epoxy. However, in those three years of light service, the Black and Decker HG1300 has performed admirably.
Unfortunately, the two heat settings are far less impressive than they sound on paper. The heat gun's lower temperature is 750 degrees Fahrenheit and the higher is 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite temperatures high enough to clean the inside of an oven, the Black & Decker HG1300 heat gun isn't going to be melting faces like the Arc of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Arc.
The two temperature settings are for 750 degrees and 1000 degrees. As you can tell in the video, the HG1300 did not come with nozzle attachments. The box contained only the heat gun and an instruction manual in three languages (English, Spanish, and French).
If you have any questions about the HG1300, leave a comment and I'll answer you as best I can. Overall, it was a good acquisition that has served the KTracy.com Workshop quite well with no obvious drawbacks. You might be a little underwhelmed by the heat it puts off, but at this wattage (1350 Watts at 120V), it does as well as one could realistically expect.
