Works as advertised, and included all of the bits listed in the advertising. I have been using it for plastic welding and have been completely happy with it. It works very well and warms up quickly. The temperature control seems to be very accurate and removes a lot of the guesswork from the welding process. This unit was more expensive than some of the alternatives; the extra money gets you things like a case, multiple outlets, digital temperature control, etc. I don't know about longevity yet (recent purchase), but Steinel has a reputation for making long-lasting tools.I picked the "special" 25th anniversary addition because it was slightly cheaper than buying the heat gun by itself (even without considering the extra tips and case that I would have had to buy). That will eventually change (presumably); when that happens I would still recommend getting either just the gun or the full kit, depending on whether or not you actually need the extra attachments that come with the "special" version.
