Bosch PHG 500-2 Heat Gun

This item was a direct replacement for one that I had for over 4 years and was in constant use every day. It finally packed up recently and I stupidly replaced it with a cheap Clarke heat-gun from machine mart which packed up after 3 months! In fairness to machine mart the item was replaced with no quibble but once again after 6 weeks it packed up. Decided the extra money was more than justified for a Bosch heat-gun - didn't bother returning the Clarke product the second time!

I bought this in case i needed ima heat gun. So far ive only used it to get my coal bbq up to heat. Boy does it work well. Good heat in about 5 mind and white coal searing heat in 10 mins. Prob good for other uses but cant comment ..

Great tool and good price. Could do with a rest or cradle of some sort when you set it down, but does the job well.

Bought my last PHG 500 in 2004 which recently died after 14 years of very rough treatment! Based on reliability, performance and longevity of the old one it was an easy choice to buy another. Great price and delivery from Amazon as usual.

Excellent Bosch equipment. Excellent for freeing locked nuts and screws!

I haven't tested the gun properly yet but it seems to be OK and not too heavy which was one of my concerns. I was prepared for there not to be any accessories at all, but there is NO HOLDER. This obviously is not very safe when you need to put the hot gun down in the middle of paint stripping, so I am wondering what to do. A large tin maybe, unless I can track down this accessory. The gun does not fit my Black & Decker holder of course but I've found I can bend my old B & D nozzles to fit the Bosch - so at least that's useful. My B & D lasted for 30 years of on and off domestic use, so I wonder how this one will do.

Did smoke at first but according to the manual and online, its just the residue oils from the factory line burning off. After 5 minutes it stopped smoking. Works great.

First class hot air gun ; it does what it says on the box

No es que sea una herramienta barata, pero desde luego la relación calidad/precio no es mala. Lo único que no esperaba, es que viniese con enchufe inglés, lo que me obligó a cambiar la clavija, pero ya aproveché para prolongarle el cable. Para mi gusto, deberían incluir algunas bocas más para diferentes aplicaciones, pero estas se vende como opción. Por lo demás, funciona muy bien en los dos rangos de temperatura y es muy cómoda de manejar.

Estuve mirando pistolas de aire caliente para pequeñas cosas de casa, hacer saltar pintura en mal estado, encojer tubos "heatshrink" y doblar planchas y tubos de metacrilato para mis mods, y ví esta bosch, una marca de prestigio que (en teoria) me garantiza unos buenos resultados con y una buena calidad de construcción y durabilidad al precio de otras de marcas poco conocidas, pero por poco no puedo usarla porque viene con el CONECTOR ELECTRICIDAD EEUU O REINO UNIDO, suerte que tenia uno en casa. Así que si optais por esta, conseguid (si no teneis) un ADAPTADOR para Union Europea, que cuesta unos 5 euros en cualquier ferreteria en un chino o incluso en amazon. Envio rapidisimo de Amazon (al 3 dia con envio 3-5) pero MALA INFORMACIÓN!!

funciona perfectamente lo único es que trae un enchufe que no vale para España y hay que comprar un adaptador o cortar el cable y poner un enchufe
