Solid Performer, Minor Tweaks Needed
Great for thawing pipes and softening adhesives on job sites—hits 700°F reliably with even heat distribution. The stand is a lifesaver for hands-free drying drywall seams. Only docking a star because it doesn't come with extra nozzles (had to buy separately for focused work), and the cord could be longer than 6 ft. Still, the build quality and 2-year warranty make it better than anything at Home Depot. Durable and powerful—I'll buy another for the crew.

Value King for Electronics Repairs
Desoldering old components and heat-shrinking wires? This gun's 1200W power and variable range make it a breeze at 650°F. The suspended element design is genius—no breakage like ceramic ones I've trashed before. Easy to service brushes myself, and the Lexan body stays cool. For $150, it's a steal compared to imports that die in months. USA-made reliability for the win—5 stars all day.

Precision for Aerospace Work
Perfect for pre-heating composites and shrinking tubing in tight spots. The adjustable intake lets me dial in 550°F precisely, and the UL listing means no safety worries on the job site. Airflow is consistent at 27 CFM, even after hours of use—cools down fast on the cold setting too. Love the grounded cord and stand for bench work. Eddy nailed the industrial build; it's quieter and more balanced than competitors. Been using it daily for 6 months—zero regrets.

Wow!
As a ski repair shop, we heat-mold boots and dry gear non-stop during peak season. Tried three other brands over the years, and they all burned out after one winter—failing elements, weak motors. The EP-5ULM? It's on its second season now, running hot and cold flawlessly at 500-750°F. The quick-change mica element saved us downtime when we swapped it in 5 minutes. Lightweight at 2.75 lbs, but feels indestructible. The 2-year warranty gave us peace of mind, but we haven't needed it. If you're in a high-use environment, this is your gun.

Aweseme!
I've been using this heat gun in my shop for epoxy curing and vinyl bonding on car interiors, and it's hands-down the best investment I've made in tools. The variable temp control hits exactly 600°F when I need it for shrinking without scorching, and that 27 CFM airflow is steady—no sputtering like my old cheap gun. Built like a tank with that Lexan housing; it survived a 3-foot drop onto concrete with zero issues. Replaceable brushes mean it'll outlast me. Worth every penny of the $150—USA quality shines through. Highly recommend for daily pros.

Great Find
It took me awhile to find these guys, and I'm so glad I did. This Mark IV heat gun is the best I've ever purchased. Bonus - made in the USA. Love supporting American businesses! Highly recommend, plus, a 2 year parts and labor warranty.....Seriously, If you don't buy this heat gun you guys are all crazy.

EP-5ULM Heat Guns
We've used several brands of heat guns in our ski shop over the years and the Eddy EP-5ULM has, by far, proved to be the most substantial and durable. Our heat guns get a lot of daily use and the other brands we've purchased have not lasted more the 2 or even 1 full winter seasons. After 4 or 5 years, one of our Eddy heat guns began to run at lower RPM's. I talked on the phone with Kevin at Eddy Products and he assured me it was a repairable issue. I sent it off to EP for repair and Kevin diagnosed it as a worn commuter. He repaired it for a very reasonable price and promptly returned it WITH A NEW 1 YEAR WARRANTY on the repaired heat gun! We've bought cheap, throw-away Chinese heat guns sold by large faceless corporations that won't stand behind their products. It's refreshing to do business with a Made In America manufacturer that makes reliable yet repairable products and stands behind them with exemplary customer service. You pay for what you get. Quality may be little more expensive up front, but in the long run our Eddy's are more reliable and save us money in the end.
