Anybody here know if a cordless heat gun even exists, and where I might find one if it does? :confused: <br /><br />I'm in need of something for heat shrinking wire connectors and such on site where many times I don't have access to an electrical outlet, or when I'm in a wet area and I don't want to get zapped by 110/120 volts.. <br /><br />An open flame like a butane torch is'nt an option either...

Weller makes a kikkin cordless soldering iron. It does a respectable job at shrinkin, but you gotta keep the tip moving to keep from melting the heatshrink.<br /> but i use mine at werk allatime in the field.

Snapper, I have one of the cordless butane powered soldering irons like the one Spinnerbait shows. It works well. Once lit, there is not flame, just a glowing area inside the tip. You can also get them at radio shack.
