  1. Does this include the carrying case

    1 answer

    1. A case is not included.

      Helpful?

  2. Does it have GPS location in case it gets stolen

    1 answer

    1. This Milwaukee heat gun would not have tracking.  Only the One-Key Milwaukee tools would have that option.  They don't have GPS tracking, they would emit a Bluetooth signal of up to 300 feet away if you have the Milwaukee Tool app on your smartphone. It would alert you if you or someone else should be near it that would have the tool tracking app.

  3. Will a dewalt 20V battery fit and operate the Milwaukee heat gun ?

    1 answer

    1. This requires an M18 battery such as our item #330828 or #40520. It cannot be used with batteries from other manufacturers.
