Debating if that $50 heat gun was worth it for upcycling furniture

I dropped $50 on a heat gun to strip old paint off a thrifted nightstand, and it worked great on the flat parts but scorched the detailed edges. On the flip side, my buddy swears by sanding only and says heat guns just waste money on small projects. Anyone else find heat guns either save or burn you on painted furniture jobs?

Is it really that big of a deal for a $50 mistake?

Guess that $50 is now a lesson in why sandpaper exists.
