drtulz 1 Holiday Shelf Sitter, Red and White

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 pressure on fine sandpaper to clean off corrosion.To sum it up, I think this kit has been a good introduction to wood burning. I finished the projects I bought it for, I had fun, and I'm sure I'll use it again.

I have wanted one of these for awhile! I am super crafty and would like to branch out into more wood work. I have some practice to go but feel like this is a great starter kit!! It also is very organized with instructions and lots of different tips.

I am new to wood burning, but I enjoy using this. It is easy to hold and I like the feel of it. I wish the temperature control wasn't so easy to knock and turn down (maybe have some bite points along the dial so it can stay in place) but it works very well and I have used it on a lot of projects. I bought more points once I found out which I liked, but overall it is a great starter kit.

This will be awesome once I can figure out to keep my hands steady! I’ve been wanting one of these for a long time because my husband and I do tons of crafts, but I didn’t want to pay for all of the expensive ones. This does the job perfectly. This would make the perfect gift for a crafter like me!

I bought this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend, and he absolutely loves it! It's very convenient to just pick up and use since it heats up in no time, and there's a quick and easy guide for the temperature control depending on the materials used. The variety of tips is nice, and they all work well on the materials listed. Overall it was a great gift and extremely tile!

I like the way it works, it gets very hot. But you have to be careful that the temperature gauge doesn't move as my arm would lay on it and it would move the gauge. I love the fact that you can control the temperature as many did not have the flexibility.

Really cool product! It comes in a nice little case, I bought is as a gift for my brother in law who is in to forestry, and creating things out of wood. It seems like a great tool to expand his hobbies! Comes with lots of attachments for creative designs. I'm really excited for him to try it see what he can fashion!

Easy to use, heat is controlable.Comes with tons of accessoires and templates for a big variety.I had so much fun to try out. I still need to practice to get better, but you can see my examples how cute you can make.Everything fits in the included case

It just i wanted to my pens and calligraphy holders.

More solid material than the honeywell version. Works just as good if not better.

Thicker than the original but fit nicely.

Good price and does its a job!

Les 4 sont très beaux et bien fait

Absolute brill buttons for kids knits

They are beautiful buttons made book marks with them and ribbon for presents .

I just received these, and although they are not enhanced with the zeolite specs, they are definitely real charcoal filters. When I shook one to see if the charcoal particles would show themselves, sure enough plenty of charcoal came off. So that's the most important part. Those who own the machine that these filters fit, will know that genuine Honeywell filters are thin enough that you can see plenty of light through them when you hold them to a light source. These are much more dense. At least twice as dense as original brand. They also come as the originals do. Long enough for the taller machine, and can be cut exactly in half for the shorter Honeywell machine. So 4 filters for the price of two, as the originals. They are so much dencer than the originals, that you can hear the machine working a bit harder, but not overworked. The filters that came with the machine were the rhinestone, flimsiest, filters I have ever had for any of my 3 air purifiers/filters. The machine itself is a gem!
