I've had my m18 heat gun since the day it was released. Ive Been using it quite a bit. I've been using an 5ah battery with it and I've yet to run it all the way down on any project. I did notice when using a 9 ah vs the 5 ah, it is easy to see the increase in power with the bigger battery. The LED light is not nearly as bright as I expected from a "Milwaukee LED", but is still much better then not having an LED on the gun. Overall, it's a great heat gun and high quality as expected from Milwaukee.

I use a corded heat gun in the bucket truck to keep my hands warm while I’m working up in the power lines during winter time . Tried a hairblower , but did not produce heat below -9C . My new truck has an insulated boom,so no power in the bucket to power a heat gun. So my idea was to try a cordless heat gun , as we use Milwaukee extensively , and have batteries and a charger already. I suspect the run time is brief though

@DoresoomReviews6 жыл бұрын
Ya'll ran a great battery of tests - I especially liked the back to back with corded! Did you let your bench vise cool back down to ambient in between the coin tests? That's a lot of thermal mass sinking heat off of that coin, and a heat transfers slower across lower temperature gradients.
@WorkshopAddict6 жыл бұрын
Agreed.. We did let it cool for about 15 minutes, but the vise is a huge heat sink as you said. Not sure that was a good test as mentioned in the video.

@suzesiviter60832 жыл бұрын
Lets estimate, the corded is around 1100W, this one takes about double the length of time to heat, so say 550W, now P=I*V, so I=P/V= 550/18=30A, ouch that doesn't work since those batteries cannot output 30A!. Therefore I reckon the air-flow is lower on the battery version to increase temperature. Lets instead, lets assume the maximum current is 10A instead which sounds more reasonable for those lithiums, giving 180W. So a 5Ah battery would last 30mins of continuous use?
