heat gun recommendations

[maylar 10+ year member]

I need a heat gun. Gonna mostly be used for heatshrink tubing, with occaisional use for heating up aluminum pistons to make removing wrist pins easier.

Dont need funky nozzles for stripping paint and stuff. What's the best all round unit I can get? Don't care about price.

for heatshrink i use a lighter, but as far as pistons and wrist pins and that c clip to hold them in, i just use a pick, easy as pie. what are you changing top ends in?
