the best gun you'll find and you won't find it cheaper anywhere else .. trust me i looked. i used to borrow one from a friend for years to do my 25' boat, my buddy's boat and jet skis, then i decided to buy one myself and my son will be able to make some money on the side in a few years too .. in addition to shrink wrapping our boat!!

Comments about Shrinkfast Shrinkfast 998 Heat Gun:

When the gun is cold the piezo lighter sometimes takes a bunch of tries to light the gun. Seems to help if you hold the gun vertically. Great shrinkwrap gun, like one of the other reviewers said, the price is a little steep - but Jamestown had the best price!

Comments about Shrinkfast Shrinkfast 998 Heat Gun:

An excellent heat gun to shrink wrap a boat. Thoughtful design. Easy to use. Work's as promised and expected. Manufacturer posts helpful how-to videos on YouTube.

Only downside is cost. If you can squeeze it into your budget, buy it and capitalize the cost over the life of your boat. You'll save a lot over time. If you sell your boat (and don't buy another one), include the gun and the boat will sell in twenty-four hours.

Comments about Shrinkfast Shrinkfast 998 Heat Gun:

We were looking for a gun to do the dreaded boat wrap in the fall. We have used the cheap "weed killer" guns in the past with very limited success. I spent the extra this year on the shrink fast gun as per the [...] tech's recommendation. All I can say is WOW. What a difference. So I paid more for a pro gun but the job went 10 times faster and here it is in march and the boat is still wrapped! Easy to control, easy to use, lightweight and quickly qets rid of unwanted arm hair if you let it. I highly recommend the "right tool for the job"
