I've got one that utilizes shop air. Controlling the airflow is key.

Takes practice, but a lot of the same principles as welding metal apply.

If you intend to to do more than simple projects you will need way more than that. A real handheld welder is over 8x the price.http://www.leister.com/en/plastic-welding-product.html?catalog=1b301b71-fc43-4641-8ef0-506387c3ebfd&subcatalog=&product=85b8ba64-75a6-478d-90f4-599e3b8ec3a2

I bought one and it works well. Little learning curve on the heat application and yes, you have to be sure you id the types of plastic so you use the correct welding rod. It is amazing how it holds together as you would think the plastic has to puddle like steel welding but that is not the case. I do wish they made the rods black but I understand the logic of color coding the different types of plastic.

that looks really cool i think i need one of those .... where u get more rod???
