UL does not Approve, they List or Certify.

'UL Approved' is often used by companies who don't submit to UL for review.

Buyer Beware.

Got the one at HF a few years ago, works great, CHEAP too.

I didn't know that.

They have 

UL Listed
UL Verified
UL Enhanced
UL Certified

But no  "UL Approved".

I bought a Bosch about 20 years ago, was pricey but it has served me very well through the years, just like an old Timex watch: takes a licking but keeps on ticking!

Can't seem to see a brand name either.  Thanks

Yes. I got it a few years back, introductory price and it came with the box of shrink tubing, then I bought an extra box.

Nice well made gun.

I pulled the trigger. Gun came in yesterday. It's light, I like the controls, only the metal part at the end gets hot. No other parts of the gun got hot. 

I'm happy I got it.
