In this article, we decided to talk about one of the Makita brand thermal gun models. In particular, we will talk about the HG5012K model. In general, all power tools of this brand are considered quite reliable. It is used both in domestic construction and repair, and by professionals who earn their bread by construction. A thermal gun is also sometimes called a building hair dryer, since, compared to a conventional hair dryer, it is similar in design and purpose.
The Makita HG5012K thermal gun is designed to create a stream of hot air for various construction purposes. With this heat gun, you can remove a layer of old paint from the coating, defrost frozen water or sewer pipes, as well as for other purposes. For example, gluing, heating plastic products to give them the necessary shape, and finally for the banal drying of the surface from moisture.
In construction stores and online stores, the cost of this model ranges from 1800 to 2000 rubles. This model of the thermal gun is sold in a special case, and a number of special nozzles are also included in the kit. This thermometer comes with 3 nozzles.
A feature of this model is the presence of a reliable and powerful engine with a capacity of 1600 watts. At the same time, the Makita HG5012K has a convenient two-stage switch for adjusting the airflow and air temperature. Despite the fact that the tool has only two modes, this is quite enough for most jobs. The electric motor of the tool is protected from dust and small debris.
Also, to prevent the failure of the tool, the creators installed a thermal protection that prevents overheating of the motor windings. The body of the model is made of impact-resistant plastic, on the handle of which there is a special rubber insert that reduces hand slip.
If we consider the topic of using this tool for domestic needs, then this is a fairly popular and useful thing. Very good thermal gun removes old paintwork from various materials ranging from wood to metal. If you use a grinder for this, for example, then the advantages become obvious. The thermal gun practically does not damage the base, while peeling off the old coating, regardless of its thickness and strength. The removal speed is also much higher compared to grinders.
If you need to speed up the drying process of things or any surfaces, then a heat gun or a fan heater can serve as an alternative, but they are powerful enough and it is difficult to crawl with them if you need to dry any hard-to-reach places.
This tool will be convenient when working with various plastic products and materials. With a thermal gun, you can quickly heat up one or another part and change the profile by bending the heated plastic. After cooling, it becomes strong again.
