Its a Bosch with 2 settings but if I'm channelling down you are probably right

 

Use the low setting and waft it as above. No need for the nozzle.

Portable gas soldering irons are useful too. As well as doing the soldering, you can swap the soldering tip for a hot air blower head.

 

Here's one from Amazon

Its not the cheapest, but its pretty comprehensive.  If you want something less expensive, but just as good and can wait for them to turn up, Aldi occasionally sells a similar kit in the £20 price region.  Keep an eye out whenever they advertise Craft/DIY special offers!
