Induction heat gun
Discussion
I’m intending to invest into a induction heat gun, I have a lever on my vintage car which needs a little bit of straightening and one of these tools will do the job nicely for me.
It’s not a tool which is going to see much work and I intend to give it to my son who enjoys spannering on his cars.
Question is which one to go for, I want to budget at around £180 - £200 but I don’t want chinese tat
Advise please.

I bought one of the Chinese tat ones and it's worked fine for me, it's not something I need all the time, but it's handy to have when I do need it.
I'm not sure I'd buy one for a one off job, though, even the cheap ones are £150+.
Thanks for reply, thing is my lad will have use of it for years and years, he has a couple of retro jobs on the go atm. So more a little gift to him really after I do my own job.I'm not sure I'd buy one for a one off job, though, even the cheap ones are £150+.

Well, in that case, I'd say go for it. They do what they're meant to do, and if you find yourself dealing with rusty fasteners etc a lot, it's a handy tool to have in your arsenal.How long it'll last before it goes terminally kaput, well, I'm not sure, but at a third of the price of a branded equivalent, I'll take the chance, and mine is still going.
