Makita HG6531CK 2000 W heat gun
Product description
The Makita HG6531CK is a 2000 W professional heat gun for paint stripping, heat-shrink, softening adhesives, bending pipe and drying. Temperature adjusts from 50–650 °C in 5 °C steps, and five airflow settings (200–550 L/min) keep the job under control. An LCD, 14 presets and a cool-down mode speed up nozzle changes; overheat protection and double insulation add site safety. Light (approx. 0.71 kg) with a soft grip, it stands on the rear rest between passes. Mains powered — not battery. Typical nozzles and a carry case are included.

Frequently asked questions
Are nozzles included?
Yes — the rental includes the heat gun, typical nozzles (glass protection, wide slot and reflector) and a carry case. Check the kit at pickup.
Is this a cordless tool?
No — the HG6531CK runs on mains power (2000 W). You need a wall outlet or a generator / extension lead on site.
What jobs is a heat gun for?
Softening and stripping paint and varnish, heat-shrink tubing, softening glue and sealants, bending plastic pipe and drying surfaces. Keep clearance from delicate materials and glass — use the glass-protection nozzle near windows.
How do I set the heat?
Temperature adjusts in 5 °C steps with the buttons; airflow has five speeds. You can save and recall 14 presets. Cool-down mode (about 50 °C) helps when changing nozzles.
What PPE do I need?
Use safety glasses and heat-resistant gloves. Do not aim hot air at skin, flammables or pressurised cylinders. Let the tool cool before packing.
