[TowerTalk] Heat Gun Recommendation

I've had the Weller two temperature heat shrink gun for a couple years.  It
works well.  Plenty of heat with the two settings available.  It has a
little 1 inch diameter sheet metal attachment that wraps around your wire to
focus the waste heat back into the work area and surround the wire with
heat.  The biggest shortcoming is the mechanical design.  It has a flat base
with a flip down bail so that the gun can be set up on a flat surface so
that both of your hands are free.  Problem is that the vibration from the
fan makes the gun walk around on any hard surface.  Guess its time to invest
in some rubber feet for it.
