TEKCHIC Wood Burning Machine Kit 20 Tips, Dual Pen 110V 50W Pyrography Machine, Digital Temperature Adjustment and Electric Wood Burning Detailer for Wood/Leather/Gourd, Red

Super easy to use & heats up / cools down quickly.The pen does get warm, so when doing large projects let it cool down from time to time (don’t want to get a burn). The only thing I don’t like is that there isn’t a list of what all the tips are used for; would make things easier for a first timer. All in all I’ll be using this frequently!- photo of my husbands hand built cold smoker and the sign I made for it

I started out using a typical soldering iron type tool. Took FOREVER to burn anything, it caught every groove in the wood, often times it wouldn't burn the natural hard pattern in the wood I was working with causing my work to look unevenly burned. I did some extensive research (I'm talkin MONTHS of it. I don't like to waste my money on things. Especially when I'm gonna spend $100.) I found this product. I instantly fell in love with this machine! 1) the description is absolutely true! I've came across products that had the same style of description, but the reviews were awful! The videos were awful! 2) I love the responsive staff who work with this product. I emailed this company, and got a quick response. Awesome. 3) when I opened up this box, it was nicely packed with some helpful instructions, so if you're a beginner-they got you! 4) the use of the product is INCREDIBLE! It heats up and cools down in no time, and I mean it. No sooner when you turn it off and unscrew the little screws your product is cooled down. Using my old pen, I had to push HARD to get a decent burn. Not with this pen! Holy cow, I'm telling you... this is AMAZING. I tried out all the tips. Each one brings a new level to how you burn and how your creativity pops. The pic posted was just a quick "I've gotta try this NOW" piece... although quick, it came out like I spent hours working on that beautiful saturated dark burn. I've got some bad habits to break, like pushing on my pen. I cant wait until I get used to this product. This is well worth your money!I do have some tips to end this 5 star review.1- get a nice pair of gloves, cause this baby gets HOT!2- dont jack it up all the way, you will set your wood on fire. Even with the hardest wood, you don't need it up all the way. Nice to have just in case tho3- dont wait like I did. Try this product!

I purchased a cheap $25-30 burner at Michael's first, but it stopped working the third time I used it. So, this was my next purchase.PROS:It comes with a lot of different tips and two pens. Tips are easy to switch out, and the two pens are nice if you are bouncing between tips on a project.It heats quickly and the temperature stays consistent.This burner performed beautifully on the half a dozen or so projects that I made so far. It has surpassed my expectations.CONS:One of my burners had a short in it. However, Tekchic replaced it for free and very quickly.A guide regarding suggestions using tips would be helpful.There are shading tips, but they are all flat and not bowl shaped. It is very easy to error to an over-burn from the edge of the tip if the shader is not perfectly level with your art piece.Overall, I would definitely recommend this product, particularly for a beginning woodburner like me.

I bought this woodburner because the previous purchase was just not hot enough and because the length of the tip = tip holder was so long it was hard to write with it. DEFINIELY HOT ENOUGH! The temperature control is a bit over sensitive but I did find a setting I like. Not sure I will love the tip selection - I'd really like a small ball for writing. Direction written in fully understandable English - thank you very much.Amazon has gotten ridiculous with the request for reviews the day before the shipment even gets here. So I ignore most of them. This shipment I opened immediately and tried it out right away. It does what I want and I would buy it again - provided of course it lasts for more than a few hours of use.

I love this burner. I heard up very quickly so you really don't have to wait too long to use the other one if you need to switch pens. They feel good in your hand though sometimes they do get a little too warm if you dont remember to turn it down.It's a learning curve to do pyrography but this tool made it easy to practice and test things out. low and slow- don't get to heat happy when burning wood!

Don’t pull it out of the box and immediately start burning until you PRACTICE with it. The item works as advertised. Having used a cheap-o $20 Warner burner for years, I finally got tired of the constant blisters from pressing down so hard! I upgraded to the Tekchic and wow...I’m kicking myself in the butt for not upgrading sooner. However, there is a huge learning curve with the Tekchic since it has more features and heat settings. You have to experiment with each tip and learn how to use it. The tips are a lot different than the screw in burners, so get a big piece of scrap basswood and start practicing with each tip. I varied the heat settings and learned what each tip did and how much pressure I need for each design and style. So glad I did so I didn’t waste a piece of wood.It is SO much easier on your hands to use this burner. No pressing down which causes blisters and fatigue. Hotter, adjustable temp, means no waiting and quicker burning strokes. TWO burners is the best part! While I am changing tips, the other one is cooling off and I can get back to work.Well worth the price and investment.
