Hot Jet S - Small and Powerful LEISTER Heat Gun
SKU#: Hot_JET_S-CNFG
Recognized as the smallest LEISTER heat gun available today, the HOT JET S is one of the most deceptively powerful hot air tools on the market. Weighing in at just 600 grams and supported by its ergonomic design, this mini heat gun is designed for easy, fatigue-free handheld welding. It also packs plenty of power despite its relatively small size, with its variable temperature range going all the way to 600ºC.
Hot Jet S Features and Benefits
The Hot Jet S is both small and affordable, but this mini heat gun is not to be underestimated. This is an excellent tool for a wide range of applications. During the plastic welding process, the Hot Jet S can be great for everything from manipulating plastic objects to constructing banners. It’s even a fantastic addition to any handyperson’s toolbox, as it is highly effective for tasks such as thawing pipes and removing paint.
The step-less, electronically controlled temperature and airflow make using the Hot Jet S even easier. The variable temperature range allows you to adjust and pick the exact heat required for your task. Along with temperature settings, you can also alter the airflow to produce precise, effective welds.
The comfortable ergonomic design ensures you can use the Hot Jet S for extended periods without issue – particularly when factoring in the lightness of this Leister heat gun. The built-in stand further adds to the convenience. If you need to be hands-free to complete another task, the Hot Jet S can be sat down with ease to protect against possible damage.
Additional Products and Accessories
The adaptability of the Hot Jet S further helps it stand out from the mini heat gun crowd. This is evidenced by a wide array of compatible products and add-ons. Most notably, the Hot Jet S is compatible with a diverse assortment of nozzles. With options ranging from wide slot and speed welding nozzles to tubular and soldering nozzles, it’s straightforward to modify the device’s heat delivery.
Aside from nozzles, there are various accessories that can complement your use of this Leister heat gun. Leister-designed cutters, hand pressure rollers, and rotary burrs are some of the additional tools we provide. You can also store your Hot Jet S in a specially-designed case to prolong its lifespan. Whenever necessary, new heating elements and spare parts are also available for purchase.

Hot Jet S Heat Gun FAQs
What are heat guns used for?
Heat guns are versatile tools used for a multitude of applications. This includes stripping paint, thawing frozen pipes, shrink wrapping, molding and bending plastics, and softening adhesives for sticker and wallpaper removal.
A heat gun works by emitting a stream of hot air. This is produced by the tool drawing in air that passes over its heating element. The power of the element can be adjusted according to the user’s temperature needs. If a higher temperature is necessary, the heating element will use more power.
Heat guns are indispensable in fields such as automotive repair, electronics, food, cosmetics and construction. Their effectiveness lies in their ability to apply direct, controllable heat without contact, which makes them a safer alternative to open-flame tools.
How to use a heat gun?
There are several steps to take to ensure a heat gun is used both effectively and safely.
Before you start, determine which heat setting and nozzle type is most appropriate for your specific task. Then, it is a case of switching on the heat gun and leaving it to reach the desired temperature.
The way the heat is distributed depends on the application. However, the process largely remains the same. You want to hold the heat gun a few inches away from the target surface. Air tools shouldn’t be held too close or in the same spot for too long; otherwise, it could cause damage.
When welding plastic pieces together, the heat gun is used for melting the plastic components. These are then combined together usually with the support of a compatible plastic welding rod for added strength to the weld.
Always wear protective gear such as gloves and safety glasses. After use, turn off the heat gun and let it cool down on a heat-resistant surface before storing it away. Remember never to point the heat gun at skin or flammable materials, and always use it in a well-ventilated space.
How long can you run a heat gun?
The duration for a heat gun varies depending on the model. Typically, continual use will not surpass 20 minutes for a cordless heat gun. While certain guns are, in essence, capable of working continually without stopping, remember that overuse can result in the tool overheating – and that can cause potential damage or safety risks. On this subject, always allow the tool to cool down after extended use. It’s always good practice to refer to each heat guns manual and technical data to get the most accurate guidance.
