Industrial Grade Heat Gun for MRO & Fabrication

The Makita HG5001 Heat Gun is a staple tool for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) professionals. Engineered for durability and consistent performance, this 1500-watt hot air gun provides the thermal power needed for demanding industrial tasks. Whether you are stripping paint, thawing frozen metal pipes, or loosening rusted fasteners, the HG5001 delivers reliable heat instantly.

Weighing only 1.5 lbs, this tool is designed to minimize wrist strain during extended use. The body is constructed from glass-reinforced nylon, offering superior heat and impact resistance compared to standard consumer models.
