In the soldering industry, the name Weller carries a lot of weight. Carl Weller patented the first hand-soldering tool to heat and cool rapidly in 1941. Weller Manufacturing Company was founded in 1945 as a family partnership near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Over the years, manufacturers of many types of products from televisions to washing machines came to rely on Weller for its quality and reliability. Today Weller tools play a role in the manufacture of electronics innovations around the world. The 120-Volt Heat Gun carries this tradition as yet another innovative product in the Weller line. This electric industrial heat gun features dual temperature control at high and cool settings through a 3-way switch (high-off-cool). The perfect heat gun for shrink tubing and vinyl / TFE, epoxy, curing, drying and cooling.
