đ„ DEWALT DCE530 20V MAX Cordless Heat Gun â Overview
The DEWALT DCE530 Cordless Heat Gun (also sold as the DCE530P1 kit with battery and charger) is a battery-powered hot air tool in DEWALTâs 20 V MAX* system designed for jobs where mobility and flexibility are important â especially where a corded heat gun canât reach.
Itâs built as a compact, portable, cordless heat gun for various heating tasks on sites, garages, and workshops.
đ„ Key Features
Cordless Convenience
-
Operates on DEWALT 20 V MAX batteries (batteries and chargers included in some kits like the DCE530P1).
-
Allows use in tight spaces or remote locations without needing mains power.
Dual Temperature Settings
-
High and low heat settings let you choose the best temperature for your task.
-
Typical maximum temperature on high is around 990 °F (~532 °C) and minimum about 550 °F (~290 °C) depending on version/settings.
Hands-Free & Safety Controls
-
Lock-on feature lets you hold the gun in place without continuous trigger pressure.
-
Lock-off trigger prevents accidental start-ups during transport or storage.
Built-In LED Work Light
-
A small LED near the nozzle helps illuminate dark work areas when heating in confined spots.
Nozzle & Accessory Compatibility
-
Standard-sized heat gun nozzle accepts most common heat gun attachments. Kits often include flat and hook nozzles.
Run Time
-
With a larger 5 Ah battery (DCB205), the tool can provide up to about 42 minutes of heating time on lower settings.
đ ïžÂ Common Applications
This cordless heat gun is versatile for lighter to medium heating jobs, such as:
-
Shrinking heat-shrink tubing or electrical insulation
-
Removing decals, labels, and adhesives
-
Loosening old sealants or epoxies
-
Bending PVC or soft plastics gently
-
Drying or thawing small work areas
-
Heat forming and light welding on plasticsÂ
Keep in mind that cordless heat guns are not typically as powerful as heavy corded shop heat guns â the air flow and continuous heat output are more limited. They shine in convenience rather than heavy industrial continuous work.
