Save Over 15% on the Wagner Compact Professional Heat Tool!
Reg. $29.95 Just $24.95
Offer expires 10/28/22 at midnight.

We love this NEW Compact Professional Heat Tool! Unlike regular heat guns for craft use that may only last a few months, the Wagner Professional heat gun is durable and long lasting so you won’t have to keep replacing your heat tool!

“This [heat tool] is really nice! These Wagner tools are hard to get, but I’ve tried the other ones... the [cheaper] ones, and those don’t even last a year. The Wagner [heat tool] I have is 6 years old. Well worth the money.” - Dianne Connelly

The heat gun features a dual high (680°F/360°C) and low (450°F/230°C) temperature setting to accomplish countless DIY projects that require heat. It has three operating positions: palm, pencil and hands free. The heat gun includes multiple accessories to make your crafting ideas come to life. The included flare nozzle is ideal for applying heat in a wide, even pattern. The included reflector nozzle is ideal for shielding glass and other sensitive materials from heat. An 8” x 8” silicone mat comes with the kit to help protect your surface area from heat while crafting.

Uses:
- Heat Set GourdMaster Ink Dyes and Transparent Acrylics
- Quick Dry Formula 49 (leave damp; do not dry fully as this will reduce the conditioning effect of Formula 49)
- Quick Dry Metal Leaf Adhesive
- Activate embossing powder and liquid applique for craft use
- Shrink tubing for electrical work
- Soften paint, caulking and putty for easier removal
- Soften adhesives to help remove stickers and floor tiles
- Shrink plastic film for crafts, and small gifts

Specs:
Wattage 350 Watts on high, 170 Watts on low. Operates on 110-120 VAC Heat Output Approximately 680°F on high, approximately 450°F on low Weight 0.7 pounds Cord 18 gauge 2 wire, 6 feet long Safety Double insulated to minimize electrical risk
