The Dr. Has Your Heat Tool Needs Covered
When it comes to shrink wrapping, the quality of your chosen heat tool is almost as important as the quality of the shrink wrap used. To accurately compare heat tools there are several features to consider: BTU output, weight, ergonomically designed and safety features.
The weight and design of the heat tool work together for the comfort of the user. Dr. Shrink carries several models of heat tools that weigh just three pounds or less! A lightweight tool with an ergonomically designed ignition system will allow a shrink wrapper to complete shrink wrap jobs quickly and comfortably.
Shrinkfast 998 Heat Tool

The power of the heat tool in use can greatly effect the speed, efficiency, and quality of the shrink wrap job. Experienced shrink wrappers may prefer to use high powered heat tools like the Shrinkfast 998. The Shrinkfast 998 puts out an impressive 212,000 BTUs at only 22 pounds of gas pressure. This is a powerful heat tool and can quickly shrink a shrink wrap cover.
There are several safety features available for the Shrinkfast 998. One of these safety features is a UL Guard which is an attachment for the gun that prevents users from heating too close to the object. Another safety feature for the Shrinkfast 998 is the double ignition trigger. The gun has two triggers preventing the heat tool from accidentally firing.

Rapid Shrink 100 Heat Tool

Do-it-yourself shrink wrappers may be more comfortable using the Rapid Shrink 100. The Rapid Shrink produces 100,000 BTUs and will allow the shrink wrapper to move slowly over the plastic with less chance of producing holes or weak spots. A powerful heat tool can increase speed but a less powerful heat tool is more forgiving and practical for non-commercial applications.
This is the perfect heat tool for the do-it-yourself user who needs an economical tool. The Rapid Shrink 100 has an optional 3′ extension.
