Brilliant tool not just for heat shrink but for blanking out your name and address on heat sensitive labels before you throw them in the bin. Also for removing paper labels from packages. Reliable self ignition and controllable heat heat setting. How did I manage without it...

I’ve been using a windproof lighter for heat shrink tubing but generally speaking naked flames and guitar electronics don’t mix very well. The output from this is sufficiently controllable that even on a low setting the radiant heat from the element alone is enough to shrink most tubing. On higher settings the heating effect is sufficient to offset the heat sink effect of something like a potentiometer casing which would otherwise draw too much heat from a soldering iron, possibly resulting in a dry joint. I initially bought two; one for each of my workshops and I liked them so much I bought another three: one as a spare and to keep at home and one each as gifts for two friends who are also guitar techs.

I bought this item and it was just in time to repair several smartphones, t was also perfect for a prototype I'm working on.

Bought to upgrade from using a lighter but disappointed. Takes ages to heat up, not accurate. Rather use a lighter, they use less gas and is far more quicker and direct.
