Turn Up the Heat This Winter with the Haydn Heat Gun

Winter’s here — and that means more time in the workshop, more stubborn materials, and more jobs that could use a little extra heat.

Enter the Haydn Heat Gun: your go-to solution when things get cold, stuck, warped, or layered in five coats of mystery paint. Whether you're fixing, crafting, or renovating, this tool brings the heat (literally) to help you work smarter, faster, and warmer.

Just a heads up: it’s great for defrosting pipes… not so much for your frozen steak.

 

1. Strip Paint Like a Pro

Say goodbye to hours of sanding. The Haydn Heat Gun softens old paint so it scrapes off like butter. It’s especially handy for restoring furniture or prepping window frames without damaging the timber underneath.

Tip: Use a scraper while the paint is warm — but don’t linger too long or you might scorch the surface.

 

2. Thaw Frozen Pipes

If you're in a colder part of NZ, frozen pipes are no joke. Aim the heat gun (on a low setting) at the affected pipe and slowly warm it to restore flow — no blowtorch panic required.

Tip: Keep the heat moving to avoid damage to plastic or PVC pipes. Safety first!


 3. Loosen Rusty Nuts & Bolts

Can’t get that bolt to budge? A little heat expands the metal and breaks the rust’s grip. Add some penetrating oil after heating, and you’re back in business.


4. Bend, Shape & Shrink

From bending plastic piping to shrinking heat-shrink tubing on electrical work, the Haydn Heat Gun gives you precision control without open flame.

Tip: Use it with gloves and clamps for shaping materials like PVC or acrylic sheets.


5. Remove Stickers, Labels & Vinyl

Decals, old stickers, and vinyl wraps come off clean when you apply just the right heat. No more scraping with your fingernails for 20 minutes.


Bonus Uses (Yes, Really):

  • Dry paint faster in cold weather
  • Warm up adhesive before application
  • Loosen glued joints or seams
  • Reflow wax or resin in crafts and repairs
  • Light up the BBQ charcoal in a pinch (carefully!)


Wrap-Up: The Coolest Way to Bring the Heat

The Haydn Heat Gun is more than a winter workshop essential — it’s a problem-solver in a box. Whether you’re repairing, restoring, crafting, or just dealing with the cold, it’s the heat you didn’t know you needed.

Get the Haydn Heat Gun now and take the chill out of every job.
