In the world of Vinyl and Tint installation, the heat gun is one of those tools you reach for constantly shrinking fingers, relaxing edges, setting film, and finishing details that separate a clean job from a comeback. But between pulls, you’re left with the same problem every installer deals with: where do you set a hot heat gun so it’s stable, safe, and not rolling around or burning your work surface?

That’s exactly why we created the Heat Gun Holder Kit, an easy DIY solution that keeps your heat gun upright and hands-free while you work, and it’s perfect for repurposing your old film cores. Instead of leaning a hot gun against a wall, balancing it on a towel, or laying it down where the nozzle can touch something it shouldn’t, this holder gives you a dedicated home for it right at your station.

The design is simple on purpose, because it needs to work in real shops. The kit uses a sturdy weighted base and a vertical support that keeps the holder stable and helps prevent tipping. That means less clutter, fewer accidents, a cleaner workflow, especially when you’re moving fast and bouncing between panels.

Built with durability in mind, the base is made from heavy metal and weighs 5 pounds, giving it the kind of planted feel you want around a hot tool. The stainless steel core holder and stainless steel insert with handle are made to hold up to daily use, and the included screws and nuts make assembly straightforward. The goal is to give you a reliable holder that feels like it belongs in a professional install bay, not a temporary workaround.

One important note: the tube is not included. This kit is designed so you can repurpose your old film cores, keeping things practical and reducing waste while still getting a solid, purpose-built heat gun stand.

If you’re tired of setting your heat gun wherever it fits and hoping it doesn’t tip, this is the upgrade that makes your station safer, cleaner, and more efficient every single day.
