Pyrography Pen Kit by Drtulz - Wood Burning Tool Set

Vu C.Vu C.: This is a great introductory kit with lots of useful tools, cheap, and works well. The pen heats up quickly, plus there is a guide for the temperature control. The variety of tips is another big plus. They don't have the best quality though, so if you want some longer-term use out of this kit, probably get a better set of tips. It takes a bit of time with trial and errors to get the hang of it and the effects of different tips, but still pretty easy to learn for someone with no experience. Most importantly, be patient with letting it cool down before changing the tip as they are extra prone to breaking while still hot.

Jared AromegJared Aromeg: I gave it a 4 star because of the price...for a first timer this product is not bad at all, the tips sometimes gives a different burning outcome least u expected, the product is good enough for me as a first timer the threading gets loose everytime, the heat reaches to the handle and u have to put it to rest because the rubber handle doesn’t really buffer the heat and you might end up with a burned finger. Some tips are redundant in its functionality specially the pointed ones.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: Great for beginners has a pile of accessories that come with it. I have run it for 30hours+( not all at one time) since I have gotten it and it still is holding up. The only thing i noticed is if you run it for more than hour at a time the tips start to deform or melt about 30 minutes of use on 350°+ then it needs a break lol but other than that its a wonderful product

Cathy J.: I was excited to order and get this wood burning tool because it was highly "rated" and had some pretty good reviews and came with some extra tips...

I became very disappointed as I worked with this tool because the tip/tips loosened soooo much (from the heat of the tool?) that I could not finish my 10 ornaments for my grandchildren! The first 3 ornaments went well, but as I continued working/burning I noticed the tip was "bending" out of the shaft where it screws in...
The longer I worked with the tool the looser and looser the tip became... The tip even fell out of the holder shaft and burned a hole in my table cloth before I could get my pliers to pick up the extremely hot tip!!
I decided to turn it off and let it cool down so I could continue a little later... when I cam back to use it 30 min. Later, the shaft that holds the tips was DEFORMED and unable to hold ANY OF THE TIPS!! ALLLL the tips were too loose and would not even begin to screw into the shaft... Soooo, alllll those extra tips CAN NOT BE USED... The shaft WILL NOT HOLD ANY OF THE TIPS...

I am very disappointed in this product... and I still need to finish my ornaments! :-(

franciscofrancisco: My wife and I bought this to make a custom rolling pin for our friends' wedding. I also used this to make the lines on a crokinole board I have been building. In searching for a wood burning kit, I was looking for something not too expensive (hoping it would survive at least these two projects), had a variety of tips, and decent reviews. The temperature control seemed like a nice feature as well.Pros:- It has everything I was looking for in an introductory kit.- The heat shielding works well.- It seems to heat up quickly (although I have nothing to compare it to other than soldering irons, which seem like very similar concepts).- The plastic case is sturdy enough and works well.Cons:- As others have pointed out, the temperature control is in an awkward spot. I've taken to draping the cord over my shoulder, which keeps the temp control out of the way for the most part.- Some of the tips get a little soft at high temperatures (not sure if this common).My advice:- Take care when screwing in /unscrewing the tips. Letting the tool cool before changing tips is a good idea as well. Hot tips are probably much more likely to break.- Clean tips transfer heat much better. I use very light...
