The first time I turned it on, I heard a clattering noise-- which suddenly got worse. These tools are easy to open, only three screws, and the innards are very simple. The casing is designed to hold the wires out of the way of the small plastic fanblades, and in mine the wires were interfering -- in fact, one of the blades had broken off. It was a matter of seconds to tuck the wire where it belonged and put the casing back in place. I really am happy to have this. I use it almost every day, to soften sculpting wax or to harden sculpey.

Will be using this on my Claytheism polymer clay projects to set gloss coatings. Easy to use, lightweight, and has built-in stand to keep heat gun upright after using. Just what I needed to give a professional finish.

The heat tool works great for why I bought it, I make lighted wine bottles and I use it to dry paint, mod podge, and the final coating of sealer, really cuts the time in half!

So I had just turned it on...sparks, smoke and then it died. Can't turn it back on. Probably worked for a solid 3 seconds before it started to scare me. Did follow instructions and was aware of first time smoke but not sparks nor sudden end.

Besides the obvious intended uses does a great job shrinking heat shrink tubing!!
