Source: milwaukeetool.com (verified 2026-08-01) · corroborated by ohiopowertool.com. Milwaukee's official page confirms sub-7-second heat-up, 6.4in compact length, guarded nozzle, ladder hook, REDLINK PLUS temperature management, and M18 REDLITHIUM battery compatibility, but does not publish max temperature, airflow, wattage, weight, or nozzle-attachment count. Ohio Power Tool corroborates identity and adds max temperature 875°F, net tool weight 1.7 lb, and MSRP $159.00. Temperature-settings count, airflow CFM, and nozzle-attachment count remain undocumented across every source checked and are left null rather than guessed (the compact head appears to be a fixed, non-interchangeable nozzle design, but no source states an attachment count).
