Ditch the cord and the wait time with the Milwaukee M18™ Compact Heat Gun. Engineered to deliver the performance of a corded tool with the absolute freedom of the M18™ battery platform, this heat gun is a essential for any service professional. Whether you’re heat-shrinking electrical connectors, removing trim, or thawing frozen pipes, the 2688-20 provides the heat you need in a package that fits in the palm of your hand.

With a rapid-heat coil that reaches operational temperatures in seconds and a maximum output of 875°F, this tool ensures you spend less time waiting and more time working.

Key Features & Professional Benefits:

• Rapid-Heat Technology: The high-performance heating coil reaches operational temperature in record time, making it faster than many corded units for quick, repetitive tasks.
• Most Compact Design: At only 6.4" long, this is the most compact cordless heat gun in its class, allowing you to access tight electrical boxes or engine bays where a corded gun won't fit.
• 875°F Max Temperature: Delivers professional-grade heat for a wide range of applications, from delicate heat shrinking to heavy-duty adhesive and paint removal.
• REDLINK™ Intelligence: Advanced electronic communication between the tool and battery monitors temperature to prevent overheating and ensure a longer tool life.
• Integrated Ladder Hook: Features a heavy-duty, fold-out hook that allows for easy storage on ladders, belts, or pipes between applications.
• LED Work Light: The built-in LED illuminates your work surface, providing essential visibility for precision work in dark or cramped environments.
• Stable Upright Base: The design allows the tool to stand safely on its battery, keeping the hot nozzle off your work surface during cool-down.
