Product Name
- Leister 101.755 LABOR S with MINOR Heat Blower - Slim Design multi-use air hand tool
Brief Description
- The Leister LABOR S is a small, lightweight, and versatile hot air hand tool designed for delicate and difficult-to-access applications.- It operates with an external air supply, such as the included MINOR blower, making it highly mobile and enabling fatigue-free work due to its light weight.- This multi-use tool is ideal for precision tasks like plastic welding, shrinking, soldering, drying, and activating adhesives across various industries.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic welding, including in confined spaces and for difficult-to-access locations.- Soldering and de-soldering of SMD and thru-hole components.- Shrinking heat shrink sleeves, films, tapes, solder sleeves, and molded parts.- Activating/loosening solvent-free adhesives and melt adhesives.- Drying of water-damp surfaces, paint, varnish, and various materials like paper, textiles, and plastics.- Consolidating flaking paint and restoring various items, particularly in museum conservation and architectural restoration.- Paper and book repair.- Forming and sealing blister packs.- Welding thermoplastic materials, single-ply flexible plastics, and modified bitumen in various forms.
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Plastic Fabrication- Construction/Building Services- Automotive Service/Repair- LED/Electronics- Artist, Artisan (e.g., museum conservation, restoration)- Packaging Services or Contractor- General Manufacturing- Electrical Services or Products- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Thermoforming- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- Chemical Industry (for plastic tank fabrication)- Medical Device/Prosthetics (for delicate plastic processing and laboratory applications)
Special and Unique Features
- Slim design and very light weight (150g / 0.33 lbs without power cord) for fatigue-free work, even for small hands.- Ideal for welding in difficult-to-access locations and confined spaces.- Temperature adjustment via a conveniently positioned rotary knob, allowing changes even with gloves.- Air supply provided by an external MINOR blower, enhancing mobility and eliminating the need for an additional air source.- Wide range of accessories and nozzles available for high versatility.- Protective tube also functions as a handle, ensuring additional safety.- Designed for outdoor use.

Known backups / known substitutes
- Leister DIODE S with MINOR: Another popular hot air tool kit with an external blower for various applications.- Leister WELDING PEN R/S: A compact hot air welding device that also uses an external air supply.- Leister TRIAC ST: A robust hot air hand tool, often used for welding and processing plastic membranes, with a wider range of nozzles.- Leister HOT JET S: A lightweight hot air tool with an ergonomic handle for extended use.- Leister PENWELD A/S: External-air operated welding devices for precise plastic welding.
Comparison Note
- The Leister LABOR S stands out for its exceptionally small size and light weight, making it ideal for precision work in confined or difficult-to-reach areas where other, heavier hot air tools might cause fatigue.- While other Leister tools like the TRIAC ST offer robust performance for general construction and larger plastic welding tasks, the LABOR S excels in delicate applications and laboratory-like precision due to its design and external blower system.- Its combination with the MINOR blower provides a complete, highly mobile solution without requiring a separate air source purchase, unlike models that only come with a connection box.
