I got a hot air gun at HF two years ago and when I tried it, smoke
came out of the front.  It seemed to work but I eventually learned
there's a fan in there that in mine, wasn't running right.

I think HF = cheap c**p from China.    I'd rather pay more and get
some quality.  I like tools that work right.

Maybe I have had bad luck.   I know people who have bought their tools
and not had any problem.   I think it is a gamble and I have been
unlucky a few times.
