Would the hot air blower work well for softening adhesive to disassemble and repair cell phones and tablets? Is there a temperature adjustment?

Not a good idea unless you are EXTREMELY attentive. Yes there is temperature control, however it goes from melting to burning based on intensity not actual degrees of temperature. I would suggest getting a hair dryer or and actual hot air gun as they are a little more user friendly when it comes to controlling the amount of heat you apply to your work. If you ever get into molding or fabricating of heavy plastics or light metal then this would be right up you alley, I bought it so I can do custom wiring without having to drag a corded unit around; the battery powered units in my opinion are useless unless you are in a pinch.

It would soften adhesive with no doubt but don't know if it would without melting the plastic of a cell phone or tablet. It does have an adjustment that turns down the flame from low pressure to high by turning the butane pressure up and down.

Minimum temperature for heat? I use this in home office in 1 walled off bay in un-insulated 3 car Garage. Tonight it was 52 degrees F when I turned it on and after about 45 minutes its 64. I don't see why it'd have a minimum but may not want to try below 32? Read the manual? Might be specified... Extended warranties: Dunno....in general I never use them but have recently started for my kids cell phones but nothing else. This might be a good candidate though ...it works great after a few years but if something breaks its probably not repairable...(spare parts from China??? no Maytag repairmen on this thing???)

No. not as hot as other devices. other devices were burning people, so they made this one less hot.

I can't answer that..I only used it as the way it came. It barely blows air...and it's Luke warm air at best. I regret buying this product. My hair dryer blows more and warmer air than this product.

I have/had 3 of these blowers in the last 5 years. (Lost one to theft.) They work GREAT for moving a large volume of air and I routinely use one of them for weeks (all summer?) on the high setting. I placed it next to an air vent on our second floor, in a room that is a bit short on moving the a/c (on high) to suck out the a/c and move it rapidly through the room. Makes a huge difference in keeping that room comfortable. Hope this helps. Scott H.

I would have my doubts. It didn't work well with heat applications for me. When it gets too hot it seems to get soft. It may depend on how hot it gets . . . not sure. I would probably try solder for that. (?) Dale

Yes, this little guy will most definitely do the job, but be careful when you're done inflating. The metal air line fittings and the compressor cylinder head get fairly hot to the touch when inflating to those pressures.

I've never attempted to do anything like that but I imagine if you started out using low setting it will be ok. I've only used it for heating up kydex for knife sheaths and it doesn't scorch the kydex or anything. So I imagine melting ice wouldn't be an issue if start out low heat. A blow dryer might not have the kick you need.

I have never used this glue at high temperatures. You may want to call the company.

This 4" inline Blower has more then enough power to do the Job your looking for. I use my 2 4" Inline Blower for my root cellar to vary the temperatures in my main rooms. In winter I keep it around 62 degrees Fahrenheit and summer I can go as low as 50 degrees. Fantastic product, I am more that satisfied and I know you will too.

Yea it raise the temp up, blast hot air strait up, work very well and gets the humidity down.

This is just a general duty blower. Blowers like these have been used on small hobby type forges.This is just a low power Shaded Pole motor 1/500 HP. It is thermally protected , Auto reset, 130 ºC rating on the protector. So wherever this is mounted it must be cool enough so as not to tripe the Thermal protector. The maximum ambient temperature the blower can be used in is 104 degree F (40 degree C). If where it's mounted the ambient temp is no more, than it should work.

The brush head / airflow director can be removed for travel or to aim the air directly; there are no other "attachments" under this model, but Panasonic may offer other such attachments. See my comments sent earlier today on the temperature settings.

I use it all the time for laptop repair. Also fixing ipods and iphones. I would suggest buying a magnetizer for 5 bucks. I got mine on amazon. Best little tool kit I've bought.

I don't think this will fix this problem. This blower resistor is just for the fan speed such as low and high and doesn't have anything to do with the cold and hot.

I believes it is better suited for other applications. My experience, a lot more volatile chems and high Pressure washer on hot day is best for that issue! No expert, just my experienced!

If I understand what you want to do correctly, this station would definitely handle the job. Cell phone components are QUITE small and typically very heat sensitive so in general you'll need a soldering station with good thermal control and very fine tips. This station can do both. It might be a little overkill if you don't intend to use it frequently, though. As for the tip, I would suggest this one: Hakko T15-ILS - T15 Series Soldering Tip - Conical - Slim - R0.1 x 13.5 mm If you've never soldered surface mount components (like the ones in cell phone electronics) you should watch some video tutorials and practice on something that you don't mind damaging. You can do a good job by hand, but it can be difficult. I have used a less expensive Hakko station extensively as well as this one and I believe both could handle what you're looking to do. They don't make my other model any more, but it is similar to this one: Digital FX888D & CHP170 bundle, includes FREE CHP170 cutter It uses different (and less expensive) tips but still has pretty good thermal control.
