$60 for a heat gun!!!

How can an overrated hair dryer be this much. I plan on sleeving all of the cables in my system, but damn. I might as well do it with a lighter if a tool is going to be that expensive, even if it meant doing it right... Oh well. Go figure.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Why do you need to use a hair dryer? Just air dry your hair. I do that and my hair is shiny and is as soft as a baby's toosh.

$7.50

I got mine at Fry's for $10.

hehehehehe. It's like a hair dryer, but it shrinks the heat-shrink tubing used for cabling and sleeving stuff. It's too bad that hair dryers don't work. Besides, I hardly have any hair (military haircut, not bald).

You're one of those guys that buys the $5 CAT5 crimpers and brags about your 10% success rate, aren't you?

But then, you obviously didn't shop around, did you? My heat gun was like $4.

My Cat5 crimper was $200, but I got reimbursed.

I think I know what happened. My co-worker was doing some searching for me, and I guess she only found the industrial grade type ones, which are about $45-ish. But that's cool. I'm conducting my own research now. Ahhh, the stand AT way--bitch first, then research. Noooo. I'm becoming like everyone else. hehehee Oh well...

Damn, hah. I got a $60 Ideal crimper for $30 on eBay. I'm yet to fsck up and it takes about 4 seconds; what the hell does yours do, arrange the wires for you?
