    Absolutely! Speaking of this, does anyone have a recommendation for a decent small cordless heat gun for wiring? I've just been using a lighter, but it leaves the connectors stiff and charred at times (prolly cuz I'm a noob at wiring). Looking for the right tool for this as well. Amazon has dozens of cheap knock off brands that I don't recognize.

    Yeah, I have a big corded Wagner heat gun. It's just too big for quick small jobs. Was hoping to find something small and wireless/rechargeable.

    Maybe something like this, but from a brand name I know and can pronounce...

    Stick with corded, much cheaper. The $10 one from Harbor Fright does well enough and is super cheap. If you need one that is really small for tight spaces you can use a butane torch/crack lighter.

    Edit: Ignore the corded suggestion, you replied at the same time I did lol.

    They are off of race trucks. DOT tires with various grooving (rubber cutting shear like tools are used to alter the tread pattern) I would have posted up the link right away but I try to keep from posting links in this thread too often, especially since like only 3 people click them anyway :rofl:
