We considered the hairdryer to be the best in terms of ease of adjustment, despite its versatility. Here are the most intuitive symbols that will be easily accessible even to a beginner.

This model is also more compact, since it has a length of 230 mm, against 245 and higher for opponents. The hair dryer is capable of operating in two modes of air performance, heating it up to 650 ° C. The kit includes a wide nozzle for removing paint, a fine welding nozzle for soldering and a common wide tip for general construction processes for drying or heating surfaces. In the reviews, the owners like 14 programs in memory, which are already optimally tuned for certain types of work.

The hair dryer is practical for stationary use on a table to hold and bend products with both hands. Unlike the construction units described above, this one has a display and adjustment buttons on the top of the case, and not on the end, which allows you to make settings by placing the hair dryer on a flat surface.

The hair dryer supports operation in two modes with subsequent smooth adjustment of air speed and temperature. The device is capable of heating building materials up to 600 º C. The device weighs 700 g, therefore, less fatigue of the hand. The D-handle provides additional protection for the operator. But the body length of 265 mm and the large design are not very convenient for manipulation in confined spaces. In the set, the manufacturer supplies one wide nozzle for general construction processes (heating, drying).

We have rated the hairdryer as the best as it has a fold-out support stand. It consists of two legs, fixed to each other at an angle of 120º. This creates additional support and prevents the hair dryer from falling off even on a wobbly base, which is so common on a construction site.

There are no more buttons on the construction device, so it is extremely easy to use. The L-shaped design fits well in the hand thanks to the ergonomic shape of the handle with stops and rubber pads. In the reviews, the construction thermo-gun is liked by the richness of the equipment, where, in addition to 4 nozzles, there are 3 more scrapers of various shapes and a spatula, which helps in removing various materials.

This is the “younger” version of the above model from “Makita”, which is distinguished by the absence of a display and the ability to smoothly adjust the heating power. The construction thermo gun works only in two modes at 350 ° C and 500 ° C, blowing out respectively 350 or 500 liters of air per minute. The hair dryer weighs 600 g and does not tire the hand with prolonged manipulations. 1600 W power ensures more economical energy consumption. Together with the device, the manufacturer supplies a plastic case and three attachments. All adjustments are made by flipping the toggle switch on the handle, making the device even easier to use than others.

It is easy to hang the device from this element to free your hands. In the suitcase you will find 4 attachments and a scraper.

In addition to the affordable cost, this product has several other clear advantages.
