Sounds like a reasonable alternative to the industrial models for hobby use. I was lucky to find a Master Appliance heat gun at an auto flea market, built like a tank but naturally more expensive. At work we had a bevy of Ungar heat guns with plastic housings, intended only for shrinking tubing and fine for that, but not up to long-term continuous use. I had one tethered to my bench with stainless aircraft cable to keep it from growing legs and wandering off.
