Bosch 18V Cordless Heat Gun

Bosch Adds a Cordless Heat Gun to Its 18V Lineup

Heat guns have a variety of uses in both the professional and DIY markets. They help with anything from paint/adhesive removal to bending and shaping plastic. Now that battery-powered heat guns are keeping up in performance with corded and gas-powered models, a number of brands are entering their versions into the ring. Today we’re looking at the Bosch cordless heat gun to see how it compares.
