What is your favorite heat gun?

No problem! It's powerful enough for bigger jobs also as shown in the video. Wiring won't be a problem.

Can't wait to see it on the road!!!!

Clark,
That looks perfect for what I need to do! The adjustable range will be great for dialing on those solder type heat shrink connectors. I want this thing to be tight as can be. I'm also going to be putting some bigger connections to isolate systems for assembly and disassembly. Thanks for sharing that!

I just finished my wiring too. Had an old hobby heat gun that gave it up right at the start of the process. So, I too had to go find a replacement. Went to Lowes and purchased a Kobalt Heat Gun: http://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-1-500...t-Gun/50157920

I'm sure there are better ones out there but this worked great for me. Has a digital temp readout and is very adjustable and didn't break the bank. I did a lot of heat shrink too. No regrets.

I am about to start the wiring process on my WC53 (total custom aftermarket stuff using a CAN Bus system, Speedhut Gauges, etc) so I will be doing a fair amount of heat shrink work, and I am even looking at those solder type heat shrink but connectors. I have a nice soldering iron but will have a few spots that I just won't be able to use that.

I've seen that heat guns with a little wrap around deflector work good for this. Any out there you suggest? Any with temperature control? Thanks!
