Everyone uses a hair dryer in different ways - most for their intended purpose, and some not quite. With the help of hot air, roofing material is cut, linoleum is soldered, old varnishes are softened before removal, wood is processed and even metals are soldered. It is useful if you need to bend plastic pipes, speed up or slow down the hardening of the glue, depending on its type.
