Steinel Products that Every Home Hobbyist Needs

04 March 2020

Founded in 1959 Steinel has become one of the world’s leading brands for some of the most important tools in the hobbyist’s workshop. Their heat-tool and hot-melt glue applicators are made with quality and precision and have become a mainstay of both hobbyist and professional users. With that in mind, here are a few Steinel products that every home hobbyist needs to support their projects in the workshop.

Steinel Hot Air Tool

A hot air tool or heat gun is a tool reminiscent of the hair dryer, except that it is made for enabling adjustable and consistent heating for hobbyists in a workshop, as well as many other pursuits such as physics, chemistry, engineering and material sciences. A hot air tool is used by hobbyists primarily for desoldering, reworking surface-mounted circuit board components and for controlled testing of overheat protection devices. They also have a wide range of other applications, including shrinking heat shrink packaging and tubing, stripping paint and drying wood.

Steinel heat guns are made to exacting specifications, making them some of the best quality and most durable hot air tools on the market. The Steinel HL 1920 E has adjustable heat and airflow from 80 to 600 degrees celsius. With 2000 watts of power it packs a serious punch and provides the heat needed for most jobs in the workshop. Steinel hot air guns are well balanced and shielded to avoid both fatigue and overheating when working on long, difficult projects.

Steinel Accessories

Steinel products are made to the exacting standards of the German manufacturing industry, which make their tools well thought out and constructed with quality in mind. One of the things that makes Steinel stand out from the competition is their commitment to user friendliness and making products that are flexible and easy to use from the first time they are picked up. Part of that is the wide range of accessories that Steinel provides for customizing their tools, to ensure that they can be adapted to the job at hand.

Steinel reflector nozzles are a range of products that allow you to adjust how the air comes out of a heat gun. Whether you are working with shrink fitting tubing or soldering sleeves, Steinel reflector nozzles can help provide the right airflow for the job.

Steinel Glue Gun

Aside from hot air tools, Steinel’s other major ranges are their hot-melt glue applicators. Hot-melt glue applicators, or glue guns for short, are a highly versatile tool used for melting and applying high strength glue to surfaces for joining, repairing and sealing. With short heat up times and reliable performance Steinel glue guns are usually some of the most used tools in the hobbyist repertoire.
