Heat Gun PHT1000

This little heat gun sits in that sweet spot where it is powerful enough to be useful but light enough that it never feels like a chore to handle. It warms up quickly, which I think makes a difference when you are in the middle of a project and just want something to set or shrink without waiting around. The built in stand helps keep things steady on the bench, and having both UK and EU plug options included avoids any of the usual plug swapping nonsense. There is also a heat resistant glove in the box which is a small touch, but a reassuring one.

In practice it suits a wide range of hobby jobs, especially the ones that need gentle and controlled heat rather than brute force. Shrinking plastic, vinyl and craft films becomes a calm, predictable process. Embossing powders cure cleanly without overheating and it is ideal for nudging along paints, glues, inks and polymer clays when you want a quicker surface dry. It feels like one of those tools you end up reaching for more often than you expected once it is on the desk.
