Be careful with the thermal imaging camera. If you point it at stuff outside of its rated temperature range it can leave imprints on the sensor. Might damage it.
no.. its microbolometer sensors. you can even point them a the sun, its not prefered.. as a general rule of thumb for uncooled microbolometer sensors 100 mW/cm2 continuous input power is considered low-risk. 6000°C (7.5-15 µm) corresponds to an energy level of about 2 W/cm2 at the detector. (equivalent to the sun's temperature) 500°C (7.5-15 µm) corresponds to an energy level of 100 mW/cm2. You should not exceed 2 W/cm2 continuous input power for uncoolmed microbolometer sensors (+6000 degrees), you can risk an aspect of burn in, but its usually not permanent. older cooled models was more fragile or if you match the detectors spetral range with fx lasers you could damage the sensor, just as you can with visual light camera. high power lasers, very bright welding light, and to an extent the sun.. stay out of that.. these modern microbolometer sensors are quite forgiving, that vendors are putting labels on hence harsh light, is them being safe and taking precautions. The dude in the video was not even reading something hot or giving of intense IR, he was only reading something that was shiny that will fluke the ir-reading if you dont adjust the emissivitity to match.
I use the hikoki in my detailing business for restoring faded trim , dull head lamps plus , warming my waxes and heating the tires before I dress the tires or wax the tire (soft 99 fusso tire wax) what also great nobody mistakes your tool for there's and the lifetime warranty really helps.
Should have put gram scale under the candles to weigh amount of wax that dripped off. Matte black paint gets most reliable temp from IR measurements. I think there's even a special paint if you're trying to be really accurate.
pretty nice that it remembers the settings for both high & low. (quite usefull) and the visual readout temp adjustment, accurate or not... still a plus. Agree, Hioki in this bunch stands out.
Milwaukee lasted the longest because it had the lowest heat output. Should have checked the attachments, mine fall off my milwaukee when they get hot. I will be changing to makita only because I don't have any Metabo/ hikoki batteries. also could have done a time to temp test. How quick to 400 degrees etc
Another great review I've had the corded Hikoki/Metabo HPT for a few yrs and it's been a really great tool and built much better than the other junk out there-gonna have to get a mean green cordless for my portable work
@@histguy101 the Corded version was offered with the Hitachi emblems on At least 4+ yrs ago ACME tools still had a few in stock a couple of yrs ago I bought mine Sept 2021
I'd be inclined to agree with your rankings! I've got some window sills with recalcitrant paint on them and I was tossing up between a heat gun and a sander. I think the latter is a safer bet as there as plastics nearby and besides, a sander will get more use in my household.
funny the switch on the Hikoki would be the thing that turns me off it , much rather a trigger switch , I do heaps of light dual wall heatshrinking and you only need the gun on for a few seconds usually the slide switch is a pain in the arse
Finished binge watching this channel. Now I'm on to Builds 'n Stuff. Lots of useful info, fun and a Taika Waititi accent, what's not to like? Now to the question: when are we gonna see the 80V rotary hammers (HR006GZ and HM002G) reviewed here? How about the 80V power cutter (CE001G)? Thank you.

Ridgid had a hybrid butane and battery powered one. Butane heating, battery fan. It was only sold for a little while and was supposedly unreliable. I wish someone else would make one like that.
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I wasn’t actually aware of Ridgid having a reputation like that. But I’m in the US, where their tools are made by TTI, so I assumed they were fairly good like most TTI stuff.
Might have been better to weigh the candles afterwards so you're measuring lost wax rather than just the bits that hit the ground. If you really cared about that test.
My tool of choice is Milwaukee and I know that it was the weakest of the bunch, but being an electrician I only use my heat gun to shrink heat shrink, which it dose very well, and I find if you add a 9ah battery you can get about 30 min out of a charge and that is a lot of heat shrink. They are very useful tools,
@michaelyo blah I do use it to warm pvc conduit as it helps bend it, mainly over winter, as it can get a bit cold in the UK just helps out a bit. Well cordless it idea for my job as an electrician as most of the time the power of off when I am working
Cheers Tools, good comparison. I use the DeWALT, for a few years now. OK for a bench tool, softening hot melt glue for disassembly, appliance level heat shrink etc. Never noticed the noise. Not useful for an electrician who wants something to put mains cable heat shrink on, any breeze will make it pointless. Stick with a gas gun for that. Why not a corded tool for a technician? Cos cords are a PITA, that’s why.
The Milwaukee heat gun is next to useless honestly. I wouldn't own any of them unless I desperately needed a cordless one. The corded versions are so much better.
If you're using a cordless heat gun for anything more than shrink tubing or possibly unfreezing a lock in the winter time or some other task that only takes 1-2 minutes max - then you should be using a real heat gun. If you buy a cordless heat gun to strip an entire house of old paint - you're a clown.
It infuriated me how Makita released this in 18v as a substandard heat gun, after they had already released the 40v platform. To be honest I'm still bitter about it. A good 49v heat gun would have been fantastic for removing old solvent elbows
Waiting for a makita 40v face melter 😂.. Oh btw the 8amp batteries in the UK are £380!!! Cheapest I've seen some selling for over £400 .. probably because our pound is plummeting v yen .. 🤷🏻♂️ Can't justify that I can buy a 50 amp li-ion small leisure battery for that price
@@andyzobgoff6208 Eh, it's a new platform and suppliers are charging for it. I'm sticking with LXT until the end of the line for that reason. After a few years it's going to be far more competitive.
I love these red-blue-green-yellow comparisons. It's what first drew me to this channel
A second blue in the mix would've been nice 👍
@@iangregoryhome there is another green one (metabo) that would have been interesting too, but can't have everything
@@-opusits the same heat gun with different name
@@iangregoryhome Makita is teal not blue. They tend to change the shade of it for same strange reason and go back to the original form time to time.
Excellent overview and comparison! The only thing missing is mentioning if the Hikoki temperature display can be changed between C and F.
Thank you for giving us viewers here in the USandA measurements in Imperial as well

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I wasn’t actually aware of Ridgid having a reputation like that. But I’m in the US, where their tools are made by TTI, so I assumed they were fairly good like most TTI stuff.
Are they any good for wood burning? Nobody does that test. So I guess for a reason but I want to be sure before I buy one of these.
I'm not sure if you have kobalt over there, but their 24v heat gun has a much higher heat output than any of the 18v ones
It's the head of the Milwaukee the same size as the dewalt head? In other words, can I use a concentrator nozzle tip from the Milwaukee on the dewalt?
Thankyou, great view
Might have been better to weigh the candles afterwards so you're measuring lost wax rather than just the bits that hit the ground. If you really cared about that test.
I thought of that afterwards. But I couldn't weigh the candles as I didn't weigh them before I started.
And it turned out not to matter anyway.
Exactly

You're welcome
This is a tool that my gut says should be corded.
Just depends on the individual's needs and purposes. Cordless for some, corded for some, and both for others
@@gregorsamsa1364 I actually wished I had a cordless one the other day. But only because I couldn't be bothered to pull a cord out
Japanese makes the best tools. Would love to see German companies like metabo and bosch in this comparison.
Especially since metabo's is a rebranded steinel mobileheat, and those guys are known for being the bugatti of the heatgun world.
i like makita. hitachi good too.
Aftermarket battery with 21700 cell might do a better job.
What about metabo? 18 v
Czekam na makita 40V 💪
only thing Kikoki need is a IP56 rated heat gun
The Milwaukee heat gun is next to useless honestly. I wouldn't own any of them unless I desperately needed a cordless one. The corded versions are so much better.
I believe the expectation is for me to comment on here saying something about Steinel
So save a fortune and get a corded one?

Why don’t you use a real milwaukee battery?
It is a real Milwaukee battery. You just live in America and don't know what "Real" batteries look like everywhere else.

For people like you.
