Hot hot can the gun safely get? I live in Arizona and want to keep it in my car.

Kimber states that heat will not harm the explosive propellant. If you keep it under the seat so no direct sunlight hits it, I would not expect any harm to the plastic structure, either. That is only my opinion based on other plastic items left on a dashboard. If you do not see any change to the physical structure it should be fine.

Yes! You just pull it out of the rod, snake it through either way, and reinsert into the metal heat synch tube! Took me all of...hmmm...2 minutes. And it works great! I have 20 guns in my safe and all are high end...so I wanted to make sure they are dry! I als have each one in a browning gun sock. Best of luck!

Yes, the gun is hot. Pull the trigger while you strike the arc or the wire will melt all the way to the nozzle.

We live in Arizona as well and have not had a problem with it thus far. I will tell you one thing though, we left the camera and our radar detector both running in a parked car for a days worth of time. The power used by both of these accessories completely drained our battery. I would suggest on not leaving it parked for longer than 14 hours. Heat wise, we've not see any issues.

It definitely is hot enough but l would be cautious, it doesn't have a temp control. I would be careful not to get it close to anything that can catch on fire.

Yes it is OK, but you must keep in mind that if you do this a lot that the very high temperatures of a closed and locked car can potentially shorten the life of the battery in the Jump-N-Carry.

Electronics and heat - bad combination. The fact that this thing is metal means it will conduct even more heat than plastic, and possibly transmit it to the sensitive electronics inside. I would never leave mine in the vehicle, even up here in MA - never mind FL!!

Maybe if you run it a long time. Mine has never gotten very hot. I haven't had to pump up 4 flat tires or anything though. Parts get warm but it's not something that I have felt to be a problem. If I use it to top off tires or pump up just one tire, it can be put back in its bag right away or if its warm, by the time I put the hose away, the pump is cool. Over 5 years, mine has never been an issue. Used to get nails and flats all the time but since I started carrying this and a good plug kit, the devil doesn't bother me in that way now.

I use this in a gun safe at about 70 deg. But I tested it from about +30 to about +100 degrees and it was right on. Maybe someone can help more.

The sentry safe h2300 is one of the highest temp ratings to be found,1500 degrees for half an hour.that given,any plastic will start to deteriorate at 200 .safe placement,is key to success,however,in any extreme heat,time is the enemy. My opinion.the H2300 is a good buy.i store mine inside a good gun safe.

I just watched a video review. The answer is yes. Just make sure that you unload your gun first.... and I do not know how often it's wise to dry-fire your gun. With some it's OK... with others, it's not recommended.

I've had issue with it getting hot enough. I just got some other tips to try to see if they will work better. I know a soldering gun does get hotter.

Honestly, it does get pretty hot, because it is fully made of metal. I put a black driving glove or leather glove over top of it when I'm out of the car. Easy fix. It's not untouchable, and cools down quickly, but I still prefer to have it covered.

Well it went through summer in Massachusetts OK. I kept it always in the car as well. We had couple hot weeks with 90-95 F. Still recording.

I am usually in Phoenix. I have never been burned , but yes it can get very hot to the touch. A really nice cover though.

I think high temperatures would be considered charging it in a very very location like 80+ degrees or charging it in direct sunlight. I would take it as the advice given as NOT to leave one's cellular phone in a hot car. Heat lowers the internal resistance but this stresses the battery.
