This woodburning tool is a real workhorse! The digital temp control is super handy for fine-tuning the heat for different woods and projects. The huge tip selection gives you tons of creative options. The case keeps everything organized and makes it easy to take your pyrography on the go. Highly recommend for woodburners of all levels.

This product is amazing. I decided I wanted to get into wood burning as I had an old wood burning tool. I remembered that it used to get really hot on the hand while working with it. So, I went to WalMart and bought a cheap one. After reading about the art of Pyrography, I learned that a good tool can make all the difference. So, I went on Amazon and started shopping. I liked what I read about this one, so I made the purchase. I'm glad I did. This tool made a BIG difference. I don't consider myself to be very artistic, but with the heat control and the wire nibs, with a little practice I was very impressed with what I could do. I still need more practice, but I love the outcome of my projects. My husband has tried his hand at it too and I must say, I'm really impressed with what he has been able to accomplish. If you're really serious about wood burning, I would highly recommend this product. It comes with all the bells and whistles. Oh, and it doesn't get hot in your hand while using it either.

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 are many, and some of the most common/popular are duplicate, which is good in the event you have an issue with one then you have a backup. All of this came packaged very neatly and organized in a great zip-up case. If you're even remotely serious about getting in to pyrography and can afford it (Christmas present??) this is definitely a winner.

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.

I'm pretty new to the pyrography world, but have falling in love with the art. I first started with a cheap, one temperature burner, and it gave out on me a few projects in. So I wanted to upgrade. I did some research and since I'm not a novice I didn't want to spend a lot of money, but I didn't want another cheap one that would give out soon. This fell in my price range and had some good qualities as well. I've been using the TruArt for awhile now and have done several projects, and I love it. The pen doesn't get too hot to hold and the different nips that come with it have been fun to work with. I have picked a favorite nib, but have used them all for different reasons. The only downside is I haven't found a nip that does really well with outlining or writing a signature. The temperature gauge is hard to focus, it does jump back and forth sometimes one unit while burning. not that I think it is a bad thing, but is a distraction. All in all it's a great tool and worth the investment.
