LIVOWALNY Cordless Heat Gun Compatible with Makita 18V Battery (Tool Only) LCD Digital Display - 350W 122℉-1022℉ Adjustable Portable Battery Powered Hot Air Gun for Shrink Tubing Crafts Vinyl Wrap

This is a fantastic heat gun works with the Milwaukee batteries I cannot believe how well this is built and does a great job

It is extremely unusual for me to give an opinion on a product. Over the years, like many, I've purchased quite a bit online. Overall have done fairly well. This "product review" is the VERY FIRST AND ONLY submitted within a week of delivery. I have wanted/needed a heat gun for a very long time. I would guess over ten years. Every time I go seeking to buy one, some obstacle would block the plan & once again obtaining a decent heat gun would go on the back burner. I have several projects that need to be finished before winter a heat gun would be needed. With little hope of finding one that checked all the boxes & was priced right. I own several Makita hand tools & been happy with all of them, especially the cordless tools. I've picked up a number of 18V LXT batteries. The first Amazon search revealed the LIVOWALNY Heat Gun, "WITH ALL THE BELLS & WHISTLES" that I wanted, for LESS THAN $50.00 - I could procrastinate no longer. I admit list of features @ at a near ridiculous price expectation, wasn't realistic. For some reason I had mindset. I can't explain it. Seriously! The LIVOWALNY Heat Gun; Cordless (compatible with Makita batteries), Digital Temperature Setting (a MUST HAVE if needing ACCURACY AT LOW HEAT) & COMES WITH ALL THE GOODY'S i WILL USE & NO USELESS CRAP ADDED. The LIVOWALNY is an awesome tool. Heats up to desired temp in seconds! Holds the temp (especially LOW TEMP) - all day! Looks great hanging next to Makita Cordless Drill (Like Twins). It appears to be built to last! Time will tell of course, but I bet $100 to a doughnut this is the last heat gun I need to buy. For Mr Skeptic (me) to make that statement is seriously uncharacteristic. I have to say it again; All for Less than $50.00 (Amazon Prime) Huzzah!

Great product, but the attatchments have no use for me. It consumes battery power pretty quickly! It definitely outputs heat, however... the feeling of 150F vs 550F is noticeably similar! The largest difference is that you feel the gun consuming more power on the higher setting with the fan blowing faster. It was used to help me install a car spoiler on the 3M tape strips and also to soften up my sound deadening material during a speaker installation. The LCD display is much appreciated and the value for what you get is brilliant. There's definitely better products out there but for a significantly higher price. You get what you pay for, don't expect too much! I used 20V 5AH batteries.

Works, but stated temp is off, at least on my unit. Used two heat laser tools and both showed about 300 to 350 degrees over quite a few tests over several weeks. Attachments are a nice feature. The button to keep it locked in the ON position takes a bit of use to loosen a bit, but haven’t had it pop out so I’d say that’s a GO. LED control face works as intended, but temp doesn’t match what the reading is showing.

This is gun only no battery or charger but it works with Dewalt batteries. The smaller ones it does not like but I switch to a 5ah battery and it stays running and last a decent amount. Using a 2.5 it kicks off like it doesn't have enough power. I've been using it for wrapping small pieces in my truck and small tint jobs and its great

I recently purchased the Cordless Heat Gun for Milwaukee M18 Battery, expecting it to match the performance and reliability of my corded heat guns. Unfortunately, this product falls significantly short in several critical areas. First and foremost, this heat gun lacks a crucial cool-down feature. Having used corded heat guns for 30 years, I know how important it is to cool down the heating coil properly to prevent damage. This cordless heat gun does not have a cool-down mode, which means the heat coil is left vulnerable to breaking. After only a few uses, I noticed the coil starting to degrade, which is unacceptable for a tool at this price point. Additionally, the heat output is insufficient. It takes a long time to reach a usable temperature, and even at its maximum setting, it struggles to perform tasks that my corded heat guns handle with ease. This makes it impractical for any serious or extended use. Battery life is another major issue. Even with a fully charged Milwaukee M18 battery, the heat gun barely lasts for 10-15 minutes of continuous use. This severely limits its practicality, as I had to constantly recharge or swap out batteries, defeating the convenience of a cordless tool. The build quality is also disappointing. The plastic casing heats up quickly during use, raising concerns about durability and safety. The trigger mechanism is unresponsive at times, adding to the frustration and making precise work difficult. Considering all these drawbacks, the price point is unjustified. I expected a much better-quality tool, especially one designed to be compatible with the Milwaukee M18 system. Overall, this cordless heat gun is a major letdown. It lacks essential features, performs poorly, and is not built to last. I cannot recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient heat gun. Save your money and invest in a better-quality tool that will meet your needs without compromising on essential features.

I've using this to thaw frozen pad locks. It's safer than a torch and faster than deicer. Overall, it's been working great. Heats up quickly, and the trigger lock is a nice feature. I was a little concerned by the weight. It was much lighter that I was expecting, but I've had no issues. Fan speed is easy to set, and low temp has been enough for me. It it a little tough on batteries. Battery life is a little short, so bring a couple with. I did have one off-brand battery fail after using it. I don't blame the tool at all. None of my genuine batteries have and any issues.

Works great and I use my DeWalt 20V batteries.. Also comes with really nice attachments..

Good for basic plumbing.

Found uses I didn't think I needed to use heat gun for but love it. Heats up fast works amazing love tnot having a cord.

For the price, it’s a very good heat gun, I’m very satisfied, with all of the functionality

Works great. May deplete battery faster than the name brand product, but knowing this, having your charger handy, or using spare batteries makes all the difference. Can do over 15 heat shrinks, on low, on a single 5Ah battery.

So this heat gun is shockingly good it’ll melt plastic it’ll turn paper black and smoke and that’s outside in the wind it is a little on the sluggish side as far as getting up to operating temperatures but considering the price point plus the fact that it’s got all the attachments it has I’ll overlook that I wasn’t expecting much truthfully because in my experience these generic cordless power tools regardless of what platform you buy from tend to be a mixed bag tho my first hand experience with a relatively large variety of aftermarket batteries generic cordless power tools designed to run off of existing brand name battery platforms (like this one for example is made to use Dewalt style 20V max batteries anything that runs with the Dewalt 20v max is also compatible with the Mac Tools 20V max batteries as the Mac cordless power tools sold on the tool truck is made in the same factory and is more or less 1:1 Dewalt alternatives with the main difference being the polymers used on the Mac versions is glass reinforced and solvent resistant so antifreeze and motor oil and hard grease is not going to have even close to the same effect on them as it does on the Dewalt power tools just some helpful information because any time that you can expand your possible sources for cordless tool batteries is a win in my books) and I’ve also had experience with the generic cordless power tools covering countless dozens of unheard of brands traditionally sold with 2 batteries generally labeled as 21V tools and there is no charging station for them it’s an old fashioned adapter that plugs into the wall and you plug the barrel jack into the batteries themselves so in my experience those 21V bargain basement power tools (more and more are being labeled 20V recently mins you) are not that great but they are a starting point or something to keep at a camp or cottage that if it grows legs it’s not as major or for someone just starting out with DIY stuff or even for some tools that you may need once every 6 months for 20 minutes for light duty in an area with limited if any access to power sure they do the thing… but anyone that has any experience with good quality power tools will immediately feel the quality difference… now the aftermarket batteries for name brand power tools have been absolutely amazing now even the high amp versions are still not going to be on the same level as the brand name high output type batteries when it comes to high demand tools the power difference for example I have a large collection of the Milwaukee M12 series of power tools I have one standard CR type brand name battery 2.5-3aH the style without the large square base and one of the very first generation XR high output batteries it’s old enough that it isn’t labeled with the amps like they are now it’s just simply XR I assume it’s likely 4 Amp but its anyones guess the rest of my batteries are all aftermarket 9 amp versions and although they have come from different brands they have all been manufactured by the same company it’s actually labeled under them I can’t remember the name tho they have their own batteries with their name as well starts with a W regardless they’re all extremely well built and they will last forever in things like my drill or impact driver or led flashlight and I see no difference between them and the high output battery in those tools however I recently got the 90 degree die grinder and the battery life was reasonable and power was fine in it using my 9 amp batteries until the other day I had to put the battery in it to charge and the next one in line just happened to be the brand name XR high output and it was such a shock my first thought was that I might have accidentally pushed the speed button and nope still set to 2 so as soon as the battery that was charging which was holding up charging the one I had just taken out of the die grinder and I popped it in with a full charge and it wasn’t quite as dramatic so ok there was some voltage sag but back to back there’s got to be 15-20% difference in the speed of the tool in all settings with the high output being the clear winner…. And then we get to the generic tools made to use existing batteries with like the subject of this review I will say that I don’t currently have any brand name Dewalt batteries or high output batteries to try with this heat gun my battery collection as far as Dewalt platform 20v max batteries is concerned I’ve got a bunch of aftermarket 5 amp batteries I’ve got a couple of 6.5 amp squared off ones that have charge indicators on both sides and pressing the latch button is how you check battery level and the two I got advertised as 3 amp batteries but arrived labeled as 4 amps each and painfully obvious they were only capable of 2-2.5 amps (3 amp batteries use a different cell so they are shaped different and anything 4amps and above based on the 18650 has to have two rows of batteries in order to hit the amperage) and I will mention that the 6.5 amp batteries which was my first choice hadn’t been charged in a while and they were both 3 out of 4 bars I got mabie 20 minutes total on high playing with the heat gun before I decided not to chance over draining them being at 1 bar and brought it in to charge so that’s the main reason why I’m not giving it a 5 star rating it is power hungry but it’s not cheap feeling it’s not shockingly expensive feeling like a couple of other generic power tools I have which are designed for Dewalt batteries but it’s not cheap feeling either and for how well it works the features and accessories it’s equipped with and the price point well that’s just crazy to men(in the best sense of the meaning that is!) it’s most certainly a win I’d like to see how it would work with a flex volt or high output brand name battery but as it is I’m really happy with the preference to price ratio and for the most part it will be used for heat shrink as I really dislike using the barrel just behind the tip of my soldering iron for that purpose it works in a pinch but it’s messy and easily over heats the shrink tube and bucks lighters don’t fit everywhere torches are a no no for me but I’ve found that I can use heat guns in most areas to do the heat shrink without getting hot enough to damage shrouding wires but it’s a fine line either way it does the thing and that’s all I care
