I need to get a heat gun for shrink tubing. Any suggestions?

Side of my soldering iron works really well.

That's actually what I've been doing. I figured I needed a new toy.

I use this guy I picked up from Fry's for about $15

Looks good. Now if I only had a Fry's near me, or any other electronics store for that matter.

I have seen something similar on Amazon. I'll have to track it down again. Thanks for the pointer.

I use a $10 cheapo from harbor freight.  No complaints, you just have to be careful with the high heat setting.  It will strip paint.
