The 18V M18 Compact Heat Gun, from Milwaukee Tool, reaches operational temperature in half the time and delivers the same max temperature as corded solutions, as well as the portability advantages of the M18 system with a compact profile, says the company. When equipped with an M18 RedLithium XC5.0 Battery Pack the tool delivers more than 40 heat shrink connections on one charge. This battery also acts as a base so users can easily stand the tool up or utilize the on-tool ladder hook to hang the tool between applications. For added utility, the guarded nozzle prevents unprotected, finished surfaces from accidental damage.
