Heat Guns (ID: 1220)
The Google product category Heat Guns is designated by ID 1220. It is located within the Hardware > Tools hierarchy, representing specialized equipment used for heating, shrinking, or bending materials.
This category is intended for handheld heat-generating tools used in DIY, industrial, and craft projects. Examples from the US market include variable-temperature heat guns, dual-temperature models, cordless heat guns, compact precision tools, and industrial-grade heating appliances used for paint removal or shrink wrapping.
Products that do not belong in this category include devices classified elsewhere in the Tools taxonomy. Do not include hardware torches, soldering irons, or welding equipment, as these belong in their respective categories like Hardware Torches, Soldering Irons, or Welding Guns & Plasma Cutters. Additionally, power tools such as drills, saws, or multi-function power tools belong in their own specific category paths even if they share similar technical or power features.
There are no subcategories for this taxonomy branch, making this the most specific category available for these items.
To categorize products in your feed, use either the numeric ID 1220 or the full path: Hardware > Tools > Heat Guns. While this attribute is optional, providing it prevents Google from misclassifying your products into generic groups. Note that product_type remains a free-form field for your internal organization and does not replace the required google_product_category taxonomy.
