TOP 10 best building hair dryers in the ranking

Nowadays, home craftsmen have understood the practical value and usability of the building hair dryer, making it a popular tool for the home. The Russian market is filled with a large number of domestic and foreign models. To make the right choice, you need to understand the basic parameters of the tool. The periodically changing TOP of the best samples in the form of a rating helps to assess the quality and reliability of devices.

How the instrument is evaluated

A construction (industrial) hair dryer is a hand tool that heats structures using a directed stream of hot air. It is used to melt or soften materials to combine (fusion) or shape them.

Main purpose:

• removal of old coatings;
• connection of polymer films, linoleum, various roll materials, plates and panels, pipes;
• soldering thin-walled copper tubes;
• shaping the details, incl. pipe bending; thermal shrinkage of materials;
• tension of polymer films and air removal when gluing them;
• melting of materials (paraffin, resins, bitumen, wax, etc.).

Taking into account the main characteristics, the following types of building hair dryers differ:

1. By the degree of complexity and purpose - household and professional devices. The household option is an inexpensive hair dryer without adjusting modes, low power. The professional tool is capable of providing powerful airflow with fine temperature control.
2. By functionality - specialized and universal devices. Construction hair dryers can be designed for a specific type of work - welding plastic pipes or linoleum; removal of paint and varnish coatings; installation of a stretch ceiling, etc. Universal devices are capable of working in various conditions.
3. According to the temperature regime - low-temperature (up to 300 ° C), medium-temperature (up to 600 ° C) and high-temperature (up to 900 ° C) hair dryers. In addition, special devices with an air heating temperature of over 900 ° C are produced.
4. In terms of power, they are low-power hair dryers (up to 1.7 kW), medium-power devices (1.8-2.8 kW) and high-power hair dryers (over 2.9 kW).

The design provides ease of use. There are such options - a pistol; hair dryer of direct type; a combined device with a removable and repositionable handle; devices of a special, original form.

Expansion of functionality

The functionality of building hair dryers is provided in the following ways:

1. Changing the temperature regime in the stream. In budget designs, several stages of setting the temperature regime are provided. In universal devices, smooth adjustment is provided over a wide range.
2. High-speed and thermal stabilization of the air flow. The best hair dryer is able to provide constant temperature in automatic mode.
3. Supplying an additional cold air stream for accelerated cooling of the working area. It is provided by turning off the heating coil or installing another nozzle.
4. Indication of operating parameters. A small display that shows the temperature at the nozzle helps to avoid overheating and damage to the workpieces.
5. Dust filter. It is important when working in dusty conditions on construction sites.
6. A cover to protect the air supply pipe from heating. It can be fixed or removable.

The shape and design of the handle plays an important role. It is not only designed to ensure the convenience of holding the device in the hand, but also participates in the correct direction of the air flow. The handle should have embossed pads to prevent slippage. Possibilities are expanded by swivel and removable elements.

The versatility of the hair dryer is provided by fixtures and equipment with specialized attachments.

The most widely used attachments are:

• flat nozzle for removing coatings;
• with an extended socket to increase the treated area;
• with a tip for welding polymers;
• with a special nozzle for melting the foam;
• with tips for heating pipes.

The choice of a building hair dryer for domestic conditions requires an alternative approach, the coordination of reasonable power and cost, taking into account the intended purpose and scope of work. Most often, a home craftsman purchases a medium-power device (up to 3 kW) with a universal set of nozzles, the ability to adjust the temperature and mode indicators. The power is selected taking into account the capabilities of the electrical network.
