Harbor Freight’s two cordless heat guns are made by Hercules and Bauer. The Bauer heat gun is the cheapest of the two and costs $39.99. It uses a 20-volt battery and is capable of temperatures up to 825 degrees Fahrenheit. The tool features an LED light to help you work in all conditions, a guard nozzle to protect your work and materials, and concentrator and deflector nozzles for fine-tune heating. The Bauer heat gun has a quick-release collar, making removing or installing attachments quick and simple, while a six-second cool downtime contributes to a longer internal coil lifespan. The tool is well-rated by customers and features 4.1 out of five stars based on 216 reviews. However, it does not include a battery or charger, and if you want to buy those items, you’ll need to fork out roughly $100 more.

Like the Bauer tool, the Hercules heat gun does not include a battery or charger. If you need to buy those items, it’ll cost you around $120 extra.
