However I've never opened the box and used it so I can't say how well it works. I got it as a free (long service) gift at work a year or two ago along with a new Dremel 4000. Still never used that either!

The hot air gun will be great for lighting barbecues without any contamination from lighter fluid or the like.


The Dremel will eventually come into its own- it's very useful for things that otherwise need time and patience with a file and chisel like making existing lock plates fit new locks on doors!
