Anyone seen or heard anything about this device?
Used for heating up your banger/bucket using a hot air stream.
Apparently takes 30 to 120 seconds to heat up the banger.
Price seems a bit expensive at $499.

IMO it is an expensive item that really does not solve a problem for me. I don't think I'd give up an outlet in my workshop for that... especially at a ridiculous $500.

Its basically the same concept as a heat gun. I remember them saying something along the lines of the advantages of this over a regular heat gun is you can use it hands free, and you also dont have to worry about burning yourself or your table/floors etc as well as knocking it over... is that worth an extra $400 :hmm:

It would seem to me that, while not as aesthetically pleasing, a couple coat hangers folded just so would provide a hands free option for the heatgun for slightly under $400....just slightly
