Really great review here! I agree with your assessment on the typical use cases. I've had the Ryobi version for a few years. It has the typical similarities seen between TTi brands and includes identical accessories. It claims 875° not 900 and lacks the trigger lock, though the battery gonna die in minutes using a trigger lock.. I use it all the time, mainly for wire heat shrink in the field. Everything else I use it for I would not do with my basic corded unit which is too powerful even on low. Getting stickers and decals off of walls, cars , jars, cans boxes etc; heating up aerosol cans in the field to get the full contents out of them; using delicate PVC battery-type shrink wrapping which melts and tears with corded heat gun. My only issue with these is the pricing. Unlike brushless cordless tools, these work like any other twenty dollar corded heat gun, w/ a brushed DC motor fan blowing over hot nichrome wire. They should be half the price!
I got this heat gun and I sincerely think my blow dryer produces hotter heat then this crappy heat gun. Its super light and the battery gets stuck on it every single time and I have to bang it on something to get it out. Very disappointed.

Bought the Ryobi version 2 years ago. And love it. I’ll be getting this Ridgid and look to sell the Ryobi.
Thanks for all the helpful videos, have a wonderful evening 💙
I’m liking that heat gun. Many ways to use it.

Would using a smaller nozzle increase the temperature of the air
Been looking for a video like this! Thanks!
Could high temp hot glue work as an alternative sealant?
How much runtime on a 4Ah battery?

Ur cute. Also, shame to hear about the heat gun. I wouldn't mind this in my car while skiing.
