Hot air tool for heat-shrink tubing

Abstract

A hot-air generating tool for use with heat-shrink tubing in electrical wiring applications device includes a heat source such as a disposable butane lighter, a body member having a top portion and a bottom portion, the bottom portion adapted for releasable capture of the heat source, and the top portion including an exhaust nozzle oriented over the heat source and adapted to direct a stream of air over the heat source. A heat reflector member is connected to the body member by a reflector arm and is adapted to deflect the heated air stream from the heat source and exhaust nozzle to a target area. A mouth piece member is connected to the exhaust nozzle by a length of tubing, so that when a user ignites the heat source and delivers a stream of air through the mouth piece, the air is delivered through the exhaust nozzle, over the heat source, and towards the target area.
