The tool is molded in a distinct teal/blue-green plastic.During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Black & Decker split their tool lineup to help shoppers differentiate between skill levels. They used Teal/Blue specifically for their "Professional" or "Heavy Duty DIY" range, while the bright orange was reserved for basic, occasional-use home appliances and entry-level tools. Your heat gun was built to be a tougher, longer-lasting workhorse than the standard consumer line.

This exact ergonomic design is the foundational DNA of the entire modern power tool industry. In 1917, Black & Decker patented the world's very first portable electric drill featuring a pistol grip and a trigger switch (inspired by actual firearms of the era). Before that invention, power tools were heavy, two-handed blocks with awkward dial switches. Over a century later, your heat gun still uses that exact same revolutionary layout.

It's ideal for painters or anyone doing any kind of painting & decorating jobs.

Available for collection in Beaumont (Elm Mount Ave). I am in Ballycoollin, Kilbeggan, Tullamore on a regular basis.
