Makita HG651CK

The blue-black coloring of the Makita is immediately recognizable. "Japanese" has been pleasing builders all over the world with its ergonomic and reliable technology for several decades now. The HG651CK hot air gun is the leader among pistol models at a price of about $190. Expensive, but worth it.

One of the market leaders

Let's start with the fact that the model is quite light, only 630 g. At the same time, the plastic and assembly are quite solid, and the body is designed and balanced so that you can work with a hair dryer stationary. Pleased with the presence of a case, a roller and 4 nozzles per nozzle. This number is due to the wide functionality of the device, which offers as many as 7 preset operating modes.

In addition to them, the air flow can be manually adjusted from 220 to 550 L / min in 5 liter increments, and the temperature in the range of 80 – 650 °C. Extensive settings and display options allow you to set the language in which the names of the presets are displayed, select the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit, remember the last setting, and even activate the Standby mode, in which the hair dryer switches to the minimum level of air supply and heating.

In general, Makita HG651CK is an excellent unit with wide functionality and high ergonomics. On the other hand, expensive due to the abundance of electronics. Whether to buy a hair dryer with “brains”, or save money by opting for more classic models, the choice is yours.
