TRUArt Stage 2 Professional Woodburning Detailer with Digital Temperature Control - Dual 60W Pen Tool

Gerald T Thompson: Burner works great. I purchased lots of extra tips (cheap) so I could practice modifying them. Later I purchased a Colman handle and a few Colman tips and swapped the adapter (required soldering) with one of mine so I didn’t have to buy a new burner and now have the best of two burners. Definitely would recommend this burner.

JAYSKYWALKER: I am new to “wood burning”. I had first bought a cheap thingy from a box store and it was AWFUL!! So I started searching the internet and found TRUart videos. They made wood burning look so easy I thought I’d try them. So glad I did! The brand is so great! I felt like I was simply writing with an ink pen! I bought the double one so I switch back and forth between different tips and actually complete my projects..(Christmas is coming!)as opposed to not because of difficulty and burning fingers! By the way, I am not an artist so this review is invite others who also are not artists and or new to wood burning to try this! You won’t want to put the tools away even though they give you a very nice case for when you do!:)

Sheena: Absolutely love this! It heats up so fast and burns so smooth. The tips are easy to change and the pen is easy to use. Definitely recommend this product it was worth the money for me as I have started a business with wood burning

Anthony Paulson: I'm an old retired guy who is truly an amateur jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type craftsman. For years I've been using a pen with a core heating element, screw-in brass tips and a continuously variable temperature control.

This year, with time on my hands becaurse of the pandemic, I decided to upgrade to your product and give it a try - and I'm so glad I did!

Anyway, I unpacked it and (Gasp!!) read the instruction manual before plugging anything in. Then I set it up and used the fine adjustment pot to set the upper and lower voltage limits - got out some sample wood and started in on learning the basic behavior of this type of pen.

I was amazed at how much time is saved by the quick response of the nibs, and not have to spend impatient minutes waiting for heating and cooling before being able to judge the results of an adjustment to the selected heat! In my first actual project I easily saved 50% or more of the total time to complete it compared to a screw-in brass tip. I love it!

I also found out that it's definitely worth keeping my old pen, however, as I have some "stamps" with it that I will contue to occasionally use..

Together, these...

Mary A. Manuel: I previously ordered a wood burning tool from Amazon that could also be used as a soldering iron. I reviewed that one but ultimately returned it because I felt like even 33$ was too much. All the things I found wrong with that one were all the things that were done right with this one. Yes, I know it's way more expensive, but it's like comparing a canoe to a yacht. First, the previous one I ordered came with a small pamphlet-style instruction book (read: no instructions at all save for the obligatory "Caution: this will burn you" crap. Duh. THIS ONE!? An actual, honest-to-goodness booklet!! Multiple pages with step-by-step information, pics showing which tip works best for which project, pointers to get the best result and even multiple pages of art you can copy and use for your own projects. Second, the grip to the tip distance is much closer so it's so easy to use this as pen and feel as though you have complete control. Third, this comes with two, TWO pens! Love that! Now you can use one with one tip and have the other one ready with a different tip when you're ready. These heat up and cool down very quickly, and it's very quick and easy to change out the tips. The tips: there...

Richard John McKenzieRichard John McKenzie: I just upgraded to this burner from a non-temperature control tool and holy WOW!! What a difference!! I think I told my husband “it’s smooth as butter” the first few times I used it.
I’m still learning the multiple tips and the way they work but learning the temperature control was super easy. It’s pretty sensitive so you have to really only raise or lower it a few notches.
The tips are easy to remove and it warms up so quickly! I was waiting like 15 minutes for the cheapy tool to get hot enough to burn which was a drag. The dual function makes using various tips so easy and quick! And the holders are great. I literally dropped my older tool on the carpet once because it was only a pen attached to a cord. And if the cord gets pulled... well you get a melted carpet mess of a burner!
It’s also very comfortable to handle. It’s actually more comfortable than other art tools such as markers, pencils and brushes. It makes fine detail work a lot easier than the cheaper tools.
If you’re considering upgrading to a more professional wood burner I would say don’t hesitate!! Just do it! You will not be let down with this burner.
