Laser Tools is now offering a handy butane-powered, hot-air blower that is small, fits in a pocket and gives instant heat just when it is needed.

Heatshrink tubing is the professional way to insulate wires and connectors but usually needs a mains-powered heat-gun, which can be inconvenient, especially if working under the dash of a customer’s car outside.  

The new blower (part number 6848) is easy to use with a thumb press on/off switch. Adjusted by a slide regulator, the user can adjust the temperature to deliver the right level of heat for the job. The 10mm diameter nozzle delivers a gentle heat that is perfect for working with heat shrink tubes. The refillable butane tank has a see-through window to check gas level. 

The kit also includes a useful starter set of commonly-used heat shrink sleeves. Replacement heat shrinking tube rolls are also available in the Connect Workshop Consumables range, part numbers 37113 (4.8mm dia) and 37112 (3.2mm dia).

The new kit is available now from your Laser Tools stockist.
