Can a heat gun remove paint and strip furniture?

Reviewer consensus

Yes. Higher-wattage corded guns (1500–1800W) reaching 1000°F+ are what reviewers recommend for paint stripping. Models like the PORTER-CABLE PC1500HG and the higher-end DEWALT and Makita kits are repeatedly cited for paint and finish removal because they sustain high heat and strong airflow without bogging down.
