Butane Heat Guns and Cigar Lighters
Butane Heat Guns and Cigar Lighters
Butane heat guns and cigar lighters are so commonplace that they're often underestimated or overlooked entirely, but not here.
At BuyHeatShrink.com, we value every tool and piece of equipment that helps you get the job done, no matter how big or small. These butane heat guns and cigar lighters are smaller than electric heat guns, but they are just as mighty.
Butane torch lighters deliver strong, concentrated, and wind-resistant flames that burn upwards of 1300°C, that's 2400°F. They're meant to be cordless, compact, fast, lightweight, and easily handheld during operation. They're convenient to carry, easy to refill, fun to use, and all about packing in that performance and maybe even a little "wow" factor. Our diverse selection of professional, portable heating tools has something for every person, project, and possibility. Some of our heartier options have prominent bases or kickstands leaving both your hands free to manipulate projects and maneuver delicate tasks.
We stock a variety of refillable mid and pocket-size butane torches perfect for camping, crafts, cooking, DIY, repairs, and uncharted adventures. Or stay home and get more heated, melted, thawed, removed, loosened, repaired, sealed, soldered, started, and done with a butane heat gun or cigar lighter that you'll love right from the start. For safety and shipping purposes, all heat sources are sold without butane but are ready to fill and fire up immediately.
Safety features and performance enhancements give you extra peace of mind, more reliable performance, and reduce the daily wear and tear on your product while increasing its longevity. Look for user-friendly and high-quality upgrades like: a bigger fuel tank, viewing window, dial/adjustable flame size, child locks, single-action ignitions, and push-button piezo electric ignitions. Review the specifications and features of your specific heating source and always follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
Looking for the largest fuel tank and biggest flame throw? Try the Iroda HG400W. This HotAir Gun is the only completely portable, high-powered heat gun on the market. This specialty top nozzle fits on top of a general purpose propane tank for a truly powerful transformation.
Need a relentless workhorse and effortless multitasker? Grab one(or two) handheld, flameless Iroda heat guns both with deflector attachments. With their deflectors on, no other heat source is more prepared to give you precise, perfect heat shrink applications every single time.
No heat gun or deflector in sight, but left holding some heat shrink? Check out this "How to Use a Heat Gun" video where Marc Savoy, your affable type-dye heat shrink guy, heats up, shows off, and shares real-life tips and first-hand demonstrations using some of our best-selling heat sources.
