Fan speeds

The number of fan speeds provided for in the adjustments of the heat gun. The intensity of blowing the workpiece, or rather the amount of air supplied and the pressure of the air flow, depends on the fan speed. And since different jobs require different intensities of air supply, the more speeds a hair dryer has, the more versatile it is, the easier it is to adjust its parameters for certain tasks. Most modern models have 2 – 3 speed adjustments, however, there are also very simple single-speed options, and even advanced devices with smooth adjustment, which allows you to select the fan speed as accurately as possible for a specific purpose.

Temperature adjustments

The number of outlet air temperature adjustments provided for in the design of the heat gun. The adjustment itself is an almost mandatory function for such a tool — after all, different types of work and different types of materials require their own temperature values, and without it you can either “underheat” or “burn through” the workpiece. The more adjustments provided in the design of the hair dryer — the finer the temperature settings, the easier it is to choose the mode that is optimal for a particular task. At the same time, it is worth noting that in this case we are talking about step temperature control, while the most advanced option today is smooth control (see below).

Max. heating temperature

The highest outlet air temperature that a hair dryer can provide. As with the minimum temperature, this parameter determines how wide the operating range of the tool is and for what range of work it can be used. High operating temperatures are important not only for refractory materials — they can significantly speed up the processing of large surfaces. On the other hand, it is worth considering that for strong heating, appropriate power is required, which affects the weight, energy consumption, and often the price of the hair dryer.

Stepples t° control

The ability to smoothly change the temperature of the air supplied by the heat gun. The meaning of temperature adjustments is generally detailed in the relevant paragraph above; here we note that smooth adjustment has a number of advantages over stepped. The main one is that the outlet temperature in such hair dryers can be adjusted very precisely, and at will, and not in accordance with the fixed values \u200b\u200bthat are set in the manufacturer's settings. Among the disadvantages of this option, one can note a higher cost than most step regulators — despite the fact that in fact high tuning accuracy is not required so often, usually in professional work.

Display

The presence of its own display in the design of the heat gun. Usually, this is the simplest black-and-white LCD screen for 3-4 characters, sometimes with additional graphic indicators. However, even such a screen significantly increases the ease of management, making it more informative. Various additional data can be displayed on the display, both basic (temperature, fan speed, etc.) and auxiliary (for example, error notifications). At the same time, screens are inexpensive, so they can be found even in low-cost-level heat guns.

Weight

The total weight of the tool. On the one hand, heat guns are held in the hands during operation, which means that a lot of weight is undesirable for them — heavy devices are less “agile” and tyre the operator more. On the other hand, too little weight can mean low quality materials, a small thickness of insulation and, accordingly, unsatisfactory safety performance. Therefore, in most modern models, the weight is at least 500 g, and in the most advanced models it can exceed 1 kg. Also note that some "heavy" hair dryers may have a design that allows you to install them on a flat surface during operation.

If there are additional nozzles in the kit, the weight of the tool without them is usually indicated.
