Things are getting exciting in the world of power tools at Ohio Power Tool with the release of Metabo’s new lightweight heat gun, the HG 18 LTX 500 Cordless Hot Air Gun. This innovative tool offers quick, portable, and powerful heat, making it a valuable addition to any toolbox.
Light & Agile
Cordless Convenience
One of the standout features of the Metabo Hot Air Gun is its cordless design. Unlike traditional corded heat guns, which can be cumbersome and limit your range of motion, this tool offers increased agility. You can easily maneuver it into tight spaces and hard – to – reach areas where corded options simply cannot go.
Lightweight Build
Weighing only 2.8 pounds with the battery attached, the Metabo Cordless Hot Air Gun is incredibly lightweight. This makes it comfortable to hold and use for extended periods, reducing fatigue during long projects. Whether you’re working on a small DIY project or a large – scale professional job, the lightweight design ensures ease of use.
Long – Lasting Battery
The heat gun is powered by an LiHD battery pack with a capacity of 8.0 Ah. This powerful battery allows the tool to run for over 20 minutes on a single charge, giving you plenty of time to complete your tasks without interruption. Additionally, the battery packs feature a capacity display, so you can easily check the charge status at a glance.
Swift & Scorching
Rapid Heating
The Metabo Cordless Hot Air Gun heats up in just 5 seconds, allowing you to get started on your project right away. This quick heating time is a significant advantage over other heat guns, which may take several minutes to reach operating temperature.
High – Temperature Performance
Not only does it heat up quickly, but it can also reach up to 930° Fahrenheit. This high temperature makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from removing varnish and paint to shaping and crimping materials. If you don’t need such high temperatures, the heat gun offers two settings to easily adjust the air temperature level while you’re working. The lower option is 570° Fahrenheit, providing more control and flexibility for delicate tasks.
Safe & Practical
LED Lighting
When working in dark areas, visibility is crucial. The Metabo Cordless Hot Air Gun features a bright LED light, ensuring that you can see what you’re doing clearly. This feature enhances safety and efficiency, especially when working in confined or poorly lit spaces.
Safety Features
Given the high temperatures that the heat gun can reach, safety is of utmost importance. The tool offers excellent working safety thanks to its slim, rubberized handle. The rubberized material provides a comfortable and secure grip, reducing the risk of slipping and accidental contact with the hot nozzle. Additionally, it offers safe storage options, allowing you to store the tool safely when not in use.
