The tips are very nice. they stayed secure in the wood burning tool ...

I got this yesterday and used it today to decorate some wooden spoons for a homemade craft. It comes in a plastic case (which has extra dividers so you can customize the tray inside). The case that mine came in did have the end broken (the little end piece that you'd hang it up on something with). Not that big of a deal to me though since I'll store it in a drawer or on a shelf. The tips are very nice. they stayed secure in the wood burning tool while using it. I did use needle nose pliers to take out and insert different tips. It heats up VERY quickly. I've had other wood burning tools (cheap ones) so I guess I wasn't expecting more than I already had experience with. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it worked and the quality of it. Hopefully it last a long time.

Five Stars

Awesome for stippling guns! Gets real hot and works great

Be an artist and burn some wood already... This thing is awesome and with the price it is that much better

First off this is my first woodburning tool and I have to say I love it so far. Though keep in mind that I have had no prior experience with wood burning and just thought it might be fun to try and learn etc. I figured it could add some different elements to my hobby. With that said my opinion is coming from someone who had no experience with wood burning but had an interest in it. Here is my opinion of the tool and why I gave it five stars. Good: 1. It is inexpensive 2. It has adjustable temperatures 3. It had interchangeable tips 4. It works Bad: 1. I am not a big fan of the stand, recommend that you tape it down when you work 2. It feels like the temperature control is to close to the tool itself (does not make the tool unuable or anything; i just believe it should be a little further. 3. I wish it was a little thinner just for better control 4. I wish the tip and the base were a little further apart Bottom line though for the price i have already found it to be worth every penny. I have attached a picture of my first wood burning. Its not great or perfect but hey for the first time ever I think I did alright. So hopefully that will inspire some of you to look into wood burning; I have never used one before and to top it off I am not very artistic when it comes to drawing. That said if your interested in wood burning and are a beginner I would recommend it. For the price it cannot be beat in my opinion (though I have nothing else to compare it to). I have not used this for soldering or anything other than wood burning. I will say this though if your interested in wood burning I would make sure you get one with an adjustable temperature, and I say that because different woods burn differently. I have used it on fir, pine, maple, and oak all at the same temperatures just to test it out on different woods. For example on fir it will burn it a dark black and cut into the wood pretty fast. I think the temp control just adds more control to the user which is very useful if your new.

Great for a beginner

Great for a beginner. My wife bought this for me for my birthday and the first night of playing with it I was able to draw this squirrel.

Love it! Perfect for Beginners!

Absolutely love this versatool. I just started woodburning. The adjustable heat gives me better control. I haven't tried shading work too much but I'm really happy with this for just regular old burning work. Not crazy about the brass shaped tips, however. The regular tips are great.

... wood burning art and thought this would be a great in-expensive beginners tool

I have been wanting to learn how to make my own wood burning art and thought this would be a great in-expensive beginners tool. I love the options that this comes from, the amount of different points, in my opinion, has so far not left me with wishing I had more options. The actual tool itself works well, the only drawback to it is that it does take a long time to heat up, but then it works perfectly once it does. My only complaint is that the control to set your temperature seems to be heavier than the actual tool itself, then when placed on the provided metal stand to hold the tool, the weight of the control ends up pulling the metal stand with the hot burning tool off whatever surface you are working on. My work around with this is to either tape the bottom of the stand down with quite a bit of tape, which the instructions do suggest, or to just get closer to where I have it plugged in at and rest the control on top of my table. Great beginners tool, I haven't used the soldering or the stamp parts yet, but I am really satisfied with this product. I have had this for a little over a month and after several uses it is still working wonderfully.

Works great on WOOD, LEATHER, PLASTIC, Ironing Paper / fabric + PRO TIPS

Works great for: - WOOD - LEATHER - PLASTIC - IRONING tiny sections of PAPER or FABRIC TIPS: Get this: 1) This tape is your NEW BEST FRIEND for diy projects, wood working, artsy projects, crafts, sewing projects, leather work. ScotchBlue 2097-48EC Painter Tape for Exterior Surfaces, 1.88-Inch by 45-Yard. This is my new miracle tape (that I discovered by accident when I bought the tape one day at home depot). - It tears off by snapping in a straight line. Awesome! No scissors needed. - It sticks to almost everything and comes off of everything without leaving a sticky residue. No trace of it. Works on: plastic, wood, raw surfaces, paper, I even use it on leather pieces (only on the side you won't see)...It comes right off of nearly everything. 2) Totally worth buying: SE WP28 28-Piece Wood Burning Pen Tips. You may think you won't use some of these tips, and you're right, but you can grind them down with a dremel and make more pointed tips, since the plain pointed tips do wear out. TIPS Using the TOOL: 1) Use the outdoor painter's tape above to tape the little folding base to whatever table you're working on so it doesn't slide away. It'll keep the burning hot tool securely in place so you won't burn yourself, and it will peel right off when you're done. 2) Use a little piece of the tape to secure the tool in the exact heating position you want it in. The dial can easily move, so if you bump it on anything, you might crank the heat up or down unintentionally. Sticking a little piece of the outdoor painter's tape: 1/2 on the tool, 1/2 on the heating wheel/knob, makes it stay exactly where you want it. Then when you're done it peels right off clean.

Unique gift for husbands

My husband is always proud of himself when he builds or creates something. But when he wants to relax, he often plays games. Which is okay. But, I wanted to encourage him to do more things to make him truly happy. I bought him this set for woodburning along with a beginners book. He ended up loving them! We had to cut down a couple trees in our yard, and he carefully cut wood slices for him to use for practice. None of his practices are flawless, but he made them. He finds it fun! I'm happy that this is a unique hobby, I'm excited to see if it turns into anything. I'd love to have us craft together.

Great grip and accessories especially

I use this exclusively for wood burning so I haven't tried the soldering stuff. The temperature control works, but I find that I don't really use it. I only ever keep it on the highest setting. The tips it comes with are good, although I bought SE WP28 28-Piece Professional Wood Burning Set as well, which is a great add on. I have a cheaper Walnut Hollow tool, and I only upgraded to this one because of the grip on it. It only gets noticeably hot in your hand if you grip it for a long time while it's on the highest heat. This is definitely worth it and I'd recommend anyone buy this model instead of a cheaper one.

great for fine art!

i really wanted to do fine art and didnt know if this tool would work based on reviews. but it would be my first time with wood burning so i didnt want to spend a lot of money. this tool turned out to be perfect! i followed directions such as letting the tips cool completely before changing them. i mostly used one tip for the whole thing anyway. yes the cord is short so sit near an outlet or use an extension cord. yes the dial easily rubs against clothing changing the temp. i just duct taped the dial to the medium high setting when working on alderwood. its the wood that determines the temp. the handle did not get too warm to hold. when looking at videos of wood artists using more expensive tools i noticed they use a heat resistant glove. so all tools likely get a little warm. see pics for what you can achieve. love it!
