Comparison Forte HG 2000-2 30796 vs Interskol FE-2000 E

The number of outlet air temperature adjustments provided for in the design of the heat gun. The adjustment itself is an almost mandatory function for such a tool — after all, different types of work and different types of materials require their own temperature values, and without it you can either “underheat” or “burn through” the workpiece. The more adjustments provided in the design of the hair dryer — the finer the temperature settings, the easier it is to choose the mode that is optimal for a particular task. At the same time, it is worth noting that in this case we are talking about step temperature control, while the most advanced option today is smooth control (see below).

The lowest air temperature that a heat gun can produce when operating in normal mode, in other words, the lower limit of the operating temperature range. Accordingly, the lower this limit, the wider the range, ceteris paribus, and the more versatile the tool: after all, for different jobs and temperatures, you need different ones. Some modern hair dryers have the ability to "cold" blowing, without heating.

The ability to smoothly change the temperature of the air supplied by the heat gun. The meaning of temperature adjustments is generally detailed in the relevant paragraph above; here we note that smooth adjustment has a number of advantages over stepped. The main one is that the outlet temperature in such hair dryers can be adjusted very precisely, and at will, and not in accordance with the fixed values \u200b\u200bthat are set in the manufacturer's settings. Among the disadvantages of this option, one can note a higher cost than most step regulators — despite the fact that in fact high tuning accuracy is not required so often, usually in professional work.

— Case. Cases are special containers designed for storing and transporting tools. Typically, such containers are made in the form of characteristic suitcases made of hard materials, with handles for easy carrying on the outside and nests for tools and accessories inside. In addition to protecting the contents from adverse effects (dust, moisture) and contact with foreign objects, such suitcases also perform another important function: they allow you to keep the hair dryer and its accessories in one place, reducing the risk of losing any of these items. . Improvised packages can also be used for such tasks; however, complete cases tend to be more practical and convenient.

— Scraper. Availability of a scraper in a set of delivery of the heat gun. The scraper is used in the processing of various surfaces, mainly to remove old paint, dirt, etc. The working part of such a tool has the form of a small plate, the edge of which scrapes over the surface to be treated.

It should be noted that in this case, it is the traditional hand-held scraper held by the user during operation. Among heat guns, there are often nozzle attachments that have a similar purpose, but they are not included in this category. Returning to the hand tool, we note that in some situations it turns out to be more convenient than a hair dryer with a nozzle. First of all, such devices are noticeably lighter and more compact, whic...h makes them very convenient for working in hard-to-reach places, as well as for work that requires precision and accuracy. Also, a hand scraper can be useful if the surface to be treated does not require heating.

— Spatula. The presence of a spatula in the delivery set of a heat gun. A spatula is a tool resembling a small spatula — it consists of a plate (most often metal) and a handle. This tool can be used for different purposes. So, in some cases, it can serve as a replacement for a scraper — a spatula can easily cope with putty, wallpaper and other coatings that do not require too intense exposure. Another popular use of such devices is the application and leveling of various coatings, primarily putty (which got its name from the spatula).

It is worth noting that in this case, the presence of a traditional manual spatula in the kit is implied; there are nozzle attachments for a similar purpose, but in this case they are not considered spatulas. In some situations, a hand tool is much more convenient than a hair dryer with a nozzle. So, the classic spatula has a small size and weight, thanks to which it handles well with work in hard-to-reach places, as well as where precise and accurate action is required. Also, this particular tool is best used in cases where the surface to be treated does not need to be heated with a hairdryer.

— Nozzles. The number of additional nozzles per nozzle supplied with the building dryer.

Interestingly, in this case, the most extensive configuration option is most popular — 4 pcs. This is due to the fact that nozzles are inexpensive, and thanks to them, the capabilities of the hair dryer are noticeably expanding. A smaller number — 2 pcs, 3 pcs, is noticeably less common, 5 pcs and more — almost never occurs.

Note that the design and purpose of the nozzles can be different, so these details should be clarified in each case separately. Traditional options include a constrictor nozzle, a reamer nozzle, a scraper nozzle, and a spatula nozzle. The purpose of the first two varieties is clear from the name — they are designed to configure the flow of hot air to suit the particular situation. Thus, the narrowing of the flow allows you to increase the intensity of the impact and reach hard-to-reach places, and the expansion speeds up the processing of large surfaces for which productivity is important. As for the last two types, they should not be confused with hand scrapers and spatulas (see the relevant paragraphs): we are talking about nozzles that are put on the nozzle. They are similar in application, but they have their own specifics of work: the metal plate (the working element of the scraper / spatula) is bent so that the hot air flow from the hair dryer is directed to the surface in front of the working edge of the plate. Thus, the spatula / scraper moves over the heated surface, which greatly facilitates processing.
