A
heat gun is a device used to emit a stream of hot air.
Manufacturers like
Leister and
Forsthoff
They are
superficially similar in shape and construction to a hair dryer,
though they run at much higher temperatures. They are often
found in physics, materials science, chemistry, engineering, and
other types of laboratory or shop settings. Heat guns can be
used to dry and strip paint, apply heat shrink tubing, dry out
damp wood, bend and weld plastic, soften adhesives, and thaw
frozen pipes. They are also used in electronics to desolder
circuit board components. They typically output air at
temperatures ranging from 100-550°C (200-1000°F) with some
hotter models running around 760°C (1400°F). Some have a rest,
so they can be activated and placed on a workbench, which frees
the operator's hand. Heat guns can have nozzles which deflect
their air for various purposes, such as concentrating the heat
on one area, or thawing a pipe without heating up the wall
behind.

Power Tools -
Workzone
A power tool is a tool powered by an electric motor, a compressed air motor, or a gasoline engine. Power tools are classified as either stationary or portable, where portable means handheld. They are used in industry, in construction, and around the house for cutting, shaping, drilling, sanding, painting, grinding, and polishing. Stationary power tools for metalworking are usually called machine tools. The term machine tool is not usually applied to stationary power tools for woodworking, although such usage is occasionally heard, and in some cases, such as drill presses and bench grinders, the exact same tool is used for both woodworking and metalworking.

Generators
- Workzone
In electricity generation, an electrical generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy, generally using electromagnetic induction. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by a motor, and motors and generators have many similarities. A generator forces electric charges to move through an external electrical circuit, but it does not create electricity or charge, which is already present in the wire of its windings. It is somewhat analogous to a water pump, which creates a flow of water but does not create the water inside. The source of mechanical energy may be a reciprocating or turbine steam engine, water falling through a turbine or waterwheel, an internal combustion engine, a wind turbine, a hand crank, the sun or solar energy, compressed air or any other source of mechanical energy.

Everybody needs power tools, whether you’re a tradesman, or an
investment banker. Perhaps you need a drill and a couple of rawl
plugs to put up a few shelves. Maybe you need a biscuit jointer
for your kitchen worktops. Perhaps you’re even looking for
demolition hammer for a major refurbishment on that block of
flats you invested in.
