Whats happened to the price of heat guns?
Is it just me or is the price of heat guns gone mental?
i have just bought two guns from screwfix at £30 each for a budget brand I’ve “never heard of”.
all others were £50-£80 each, but some £100-£200 and a couple of cordless ones at £300-£400 each.
in the past there was a bunch of budget £16-£25, even the bosch and dewalt were £30-£40. it just seems extreme to me. or am I just getting tight?also, does anyone use cordless heat guns?

you are not far wrong mate. all these budget brands are as expensive as the previously priced premium brands of guns.
i haven’t tried a cordless gun, so I cant comment there but £400! 😬

Cordless Heatguns.
I have a Dewalt. I think I paid about £215.
Handy for very SMALL jobs in remote locations with zero power.Definitely NOT for general day-to-day use and anyone that says they can wrap using one is either delusional or lying! 🤣

I would say its a symptom of the cheap Chinese production system falling apart.
Things are going to be different now.
Not just heat guns. -
I just did a quick search on Amazon, Mark. I had to scroll down a fair bit till I got to the guns I normally buy as standard. Bosch and Dewalt. Bosch is still in their £30 range but the Dewalt has jumped up.
The majority are as you said, unknown brands!

thanks for the replies guys.
by the looks of it i think i will try amazon the next time. still plenty of junk brands but if i spend £35 i am at least im getting something like Bosch rather than the Chinese cheapo ones.
