Proudly sold in the USA, this variable temperature model combines solid-state construction with a lightweight, durable design, making it ideal for professionals in industries such as automotive, electronics, construction, and crafting. With an adjustable temperature range of 250–1100°F (121–593°C), dual-speed airflow, and ETL-listed safety certification, the VT-1100 delivers consistent performance for tasks from heat shrinking to paint stripping, ensuring efficient and safe operation.
Key Features
Variable Temperature and Dual-Speed Airflow
The VT-1100 features a solid-state variable temperature control dial allowing seamless adjustment from 250–1100°F (121–593°C), providing precise heat for delicate or heavy-duty tasks. Its dual-speed motor offers two airflow settings (7-9 CFM at high speed), enabling users to optimize heat distribution—low speed for focused precision and high speed for broader coverage. This flexibility makes it suitable for everything from softening adhesives to removing rust and varnish.
Durable and Lightweight Construction
Built with a rugged plastic polymers, the VT-1100 weighs under 1.8 pounds for easy handling during extended use. The ergonomic grip handle and integrated stand ensure comfort and stability, while the 6 1/2-foot cord provides flexibility of use in various work environments. Furthermore, the long-lasting heating element withstands rigorous professional demands, promoting extended tool life.
Reliable Performance
Powered by a 120 volt, 60hz and 1200 watts, the VT-1100 delivers consistent heat output for both intermittent and continuous applications. The two-speed fan enhances efficiency, reducing energy consumption on lower settings while maintaining powerful performance on high. This makes it a dependable choice for demanding jobsites.
Safety and Certification
The VT-1100 is ETL-listed (equivalent to UL and CSA standards), ensuring compliance with rigorous safety protocols. Its overheat protection and shielded nozzle minimize burn risks, while the integrated stand allows for safe, hands-free operation. The double-insulated design adds an extra layer of protection between the user and electrical components.
Extended Warranty
Eddy Products backs the VT-1100 with a 1 year warranty (at normal usage), reflecting confidence in its durability and its quality construction. The VT-1100 is a cost effective way to meet its customers heat gun demands.
Applications
The Eddy Products VT-1100 Heat Gun is highly versatile, excelling in professional and DIY tasks such as:
-
Heat Shrinking: Ideal for applying heat shrink tubing in electrical, automotive, and aerospace applications.
-
Paint and Varnish Stripping: Efficiently removes old paint, rust, or adhesives from surfaces without harsh chemicals.
-
Adhesive Softening: Perfect for loosening caulks, sealants, or labels in construction and repairs.
-
Automotive Repairs: Useful for vinyl wrapping, thawing frozen components, or softening weather stripping.
-
Electronics and Crafting: Supports de-soldering, plastic forming, or drying materials in hobby or assembly work.
-
General Maintenance: Handles thawing frozen locks, melting plastics, or curing composites in diverse settings.
Note: For ultra-high-temperature tasks above 1100°F, consider higher-output models like the Eddy Mark IV EP-1100 Plus models. For more demanding jobs, consider any of the Eddy Mark IV heat gun models.
Usage and Safety Guidelines
-
Operation: Use the temperature dial to set desired heat and select low/high speed via the switch. Maintain a 2-4 inch distance from the work surface to avoid overheating the element.
-
Power Requirements: Connect to a grounded 115V outlet; use a 12-gauge extension cord for longer reaches to prevent voltage drop.
-
Safety Precautions: Wear protective gear (gloves, goggles) and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Do not operate near flammables or in wet conditions. Allow cooling before storage.
-
Warning: To reduce fire or shock risk, do not immerse in water or expose to rain. Follow all local electrical codes.
