TRUArt Wood and Leather Burning Pyrography Pen - Tool for Crafting and Decorating Wood and Leather

Mrs.C: very good seller. Reimbursed when I was forced to return the pen because my husband received another one as a gift.

Yen Nguyen: I bought this product based on the good reviews but it turned out a bad experience for me as it stopped working after only several uses.

Max: I purchased this single unit as a tester to see how I would like using it, and if wood burning was something I wanted to venture into, before spending a lot of money on a big kit with all the assorted tips. I also dabble in leatherwork, so I liked that this item had two heat settings. (It also looks exactly like the one sold by my leather supplier.)
I was very pleased with how quickly it both heated up and cooled down. It was not terribly uncomfortable to hold, but will take some getting used to as it is held much farther back than a normal pen.
Overall I am pleased with this purchase, and would likely get a second one after becoming more proficient with it.

Southern Charm: For Christmas I made everyone in my family a wood burnt craft (not everyone was going to be there for Christmas but the total number of people was 24, so I knew I needed a really good pen). I had seen the TRUArt pen and knew it must be pretty good to get such great reviews. But I went with another wood burning kit because the kit had more and the most varied tips. It was also cheaper than the TRUArt pen. When the kit arrived I was not at all pleased with the pen. It was wobbly, did not feel solid in my hand, and was a little awkward to grip. So I immediately kicked myself for being so cheap (and it is not even that expensive) and went to Amazon and ordered the TRUArt pen. Wow, what a difference. It feels so solid and natural in my hands. I now have 5 wood burning pens and the TRUArt one is by far the best!

H. Hathaway: I am a novice; this is literally my first experience with pyrography. So take whatever I say below with a grain of salt.

I was fairly pleased with this pen. The tip is a little larger than I expected, but the pen itself heated up quickly (under 10 minutes to the highest setting) and it came with a metal stand to keep the tip from touching my work table. The first time I used it, I hand-tightened the tip only (in accordance with the instructions). Half-way through my project, the tip started to come loose, so I needed to let it cool entirely before tightening the tip (very gingerly, with a pair of pliers). Afterwards, the pen seemed to heat evenly and I was able to complete my project. For the price, it seems to work well.

ThePlushGourmet: I am SO impressed with this tool. First of all, I have already ruined 2 of these that were from other makers. I won't ruin this one because it came with the best set of instructions, hints, and warnings I've ever seen. The other ones just said to change the tips with needle nose piers or vise grips - they didn't say anything about letting the tools/tips cool down! So of course I stripped the threads and bent the tips (and maybe cried a little). Looking at my poor battered tips I see that almost all of them have teeth marks from the pliers, and I feel real bad for ruining them. So I need new tips, and I will probably buy another pen right away to have a spare just in case. It is so much more comfortable to hold that I can do better lines with it! This is a new art form for me, and I am enjoying it immensely. Now that I have better directions and a superior tool it will be even more fun to finish my projects. Thanks for reading this far, and thank you Pavel for the great instructions!
