Heat Guns vs Hair Dryers

Wondering how to apply shrink bands to your product? You may be tempted to reach for a nearby hair dryer--but while they may look very similar to heat guns, they won't produce the results you're looking for.

So what's the difference?

  • Temperature: Heat guns can reach temperatures up to 1200ºF whereas hair dryers typically range between 80ºF - 140ºF .
  • Application: Heat guns are for industrial use and will allow you to achieve a much more even and consistent application than hair dryers.
  • Speed: Due to the higher temperature, heat guns are able to apply shrink bands and sleeves at a more efficient rate
