content: I purchased this in February 2012. It died in late July 2012. In that span of time I had used the gun perhaps 7-8 times for a total of no more than 2-3 hours of cumulative use. Then last Saturday the gun just died. I happened to notice a bit of sparking though the vents in the lower housing and then that was all they wrote for the heat gun.It does have a 2 year warranty, but for what it would cost me in shipping I would rather put that money towards another to replace it. Which is what I plan to do.Judging from other reviews on this heat gun it's pretty much hit and miss. You might get a good one or like a bad one. My suggestion? Look for a product that has far more hits than misses.
