Nothing but the truth on this channel 👍

Put a high performance battery on it

Its simply not designed for the applications you intended it for. I work as a Signwriter and i find it very useful. I wouldn't use it to wrap an entire vehicle but when i just need a bit of heat to fix a wrinkle or shrink wrapping an electrical connection where there's no mains power its very useful. I will say though, i have used the Dewalt as well and it does seem to be a step above the milwaukee.

I dont agree with you. this gun works great for my needs and stop saying that this gun is junk, and you are disapointed, and by the way get a real milwaukee battery not a fake one.

It was meant to be used for heat shrink.

I ended buying Ridgid heat gun and super happy, thanks for the video

Thanks for sharing, Bill and thanks for the cabinet advice today at Bunnings.👍👍👍

I'm glad I saw this

Thanks for the review, I have the Ryobi and Dewalt units which I use to remove vinyl lettering on-site. For that purpose they are adequate tho extra batteries are a must.

Really appreciate the strait review. I’ll stick with my cheap corded one !!

My $12 Harbor Freight one is great especially considering the cost. However, there are times when a cordless would be convenient. Having said that my m18 one is still in the box 4 months after purchase and seeing the performance makes me consider taking it back for a refund.

Agreed with you Not happy at all

Absolute piece of crap. I just tried mine for the first time today. Completely useless. This review nailed it.

Disappointing to say the least but at least Bill's put me wise to this particular product, Thanks Bill ! 👍

Hi Bill. Was going to get the Ryobi version for my painting business as a handy back up but I think it will be pretty much useless as well. Probably OK for a sparky or someone doing a lot of heat shrink work - that's about it.

Thanx bro appreciate the honesty!

I have a cordless heat gun that uses no batteries at all. I have been using it for years, never needs a charge or plug. It's called a torch. Uses map gas or propane. It really depends on your budget.

If I was going to get a heat gun, I would probaby get an AC corded. The DC ones just don't provide enough heat for really anything. Thanks for the review, good sir.

I have the same issue with my Milwaukee heat gun even on mains cable heat shrinks

They need to make their fuel version already. This gun is to weak in the field, especially with solder ferrules

Get an official Milwaukee HO battery. It will perform a lot better. That being said, batteries are shit at producing heat, so you are never going to get near the performance of a corded heat gun. 5 ah 18 V battery produces 90 watts while a corded heat gun uses 1500 watts. It'll never be good enough

All of the cordless ones are like that. The fans aren't great, and they blow through battery's. I was so excited then super let down...

is your battery fully charged > has it always been like that

These are only useful for heating shrink on cables when lugging them off.Everthing else,Forget it...

You need to look at the steniel cordless heatgun

I hate the trigger the most I want one with a trigger lock so I can use it hands free

I've had a cheap corded Ozito for a while now and does a good job.

I purchased a £12 heat gun and it strips paint off doors in seconds!!

Sorry mate but anyone buying any brand of heat gun and expecting or hoping its equal to a corded version is just crazy---no offense intended. The cordless would be a great tool for some short term uses but along with being a battery hog there's no way to have the same specifications when compared to the corded version. Maximum air flow and temperature just aren't possible. As big a fan of all tools Milwaukee for over 30 years now they do make a few that simply don't rise to their otherwise well deserved reputation for superior power tools.

The Milwaukee gen 1 trim giun was the worst, should have came with a on board nail set. Cant say any thing about the newer gun. Cause i got the Dewalt.

have you considered the battery, I've never seen that type of battery.

It just doesn't cut the mustard at all

Its for heat shrink men!

Just got one of these before seeing this video and it's absolutely terrible. Returning it tomorrow. Do not buy this gun!!!

Are you telling me I can't blow dry my hair on site?

Well doh...it cant give same power with lion batts bro

Bro u gotta forget Milwaukee and go to DeWALT. Heaps more power and they don’t cut out if u push them too hard. Plus DeWALT has a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, if u don’t like it bring it back. They got some sick deals atm. Trade in any old tool and get $100 off a new skin.

I am milwaukee person, but for cordless heatgun, I went with dewalt :(

Can it make a toast bread? 😃

Should have bought an Ozito Mate?

That review took way too long and how many times can you say doesn't get the job done. I lost interest which makes me not trust your review. Carry on. I'll buy yours for $69.

5.0 Fake Battery

Are there ANY good cordless heat guns?

Really disappointing from Milwaukee.

100% garbage. I can hold my hand infront of it for 30 seconds. Got sick of waiting for it to heat up. I wanted to use it to melt the fleece on drydex roofing iron. Complete waste of money. Thats milwaukee for you though. Some of their stuff is the best but then some of it seems like a cheap chinese knock off. Every time i buy milwaukee i feel like im gambling

Second :p

Use it like hair drayer😂
