[Heathkit] Heat shrink gun

[rbethman]

These are hardly "new".  Maybe just new for Harbor Freight.

We've been using them in R/C aircraft for decades.  We shrink the mylar 
coverings put out by numerous companies.  I couldn't tell you what I 
paid for it over ten years ago, but it does heat shrink VERY well.
