It Works but Gets Very Hot Even in the Handle
4 Stars
It Works but Gets Very Hot Even in the Handle
It worked for my purposes but it wasn't easy to use. It's not a user-friendly design. Once it heats up, even the plastic handle gets very hot so I had to use it in short sessions. What might have taken me an hour to complete took several days of on-and-off use. I let it heat up for 5-10 minutes, burned a letter or two, then turned it off and allowed it to cool down for a good half-hour before turning on again.Be sure to practice on a piece of wood with the same hardness and density as the item you want to burn. I first printed the design on a plain piece of paper which I taped to the wood to secure it. Then I used a pen pressing hard to trace my design onto the board. I went over the etching with a Dremmel tool (very carefully, not too deep) and used a burnishing tool to rub it in to smooth it out. I did that to make it easier for the burner to follow.The ridges of the grain are tricky. Don't try to rush. If you take your time and go slowly, it works well. I would not purchase this brand again, or any cheap tool for that matter. If I ever decide to do another wood-burning project (and I probably will because I was mostly happy with the result) I will get a more professional one that is easier to maneuver, especially over those ridges. A better tool probably wouldn't be so hot to handle either. This thing could be dangerous so use caution!

Lo que no le gusto es que no trae una bolsita o algo para guardar las demás puntas para trabajar
La base hay que tener mucho cuidado porque se puede perder fácil

Reviewed in Italy on May 14, 2021
È arrivato tardi. La presa non va bene in Europa. È quello che va bene solo negli Stati Uniti. Lo stesso giorno che ho fatto l'ordine, ho chiesto di cancellare l'ordina. Mi hanno risposto il giorno o due giorni dopo dicendo che era già spedita.

Non vi posso spiegare quanto mi sento deluso da questa esperienza.

GUARDA COM'È ARRIVATA IL PACCO! In una busta. Il confezione già aperta da tempo; Si vede dal colore della cartone e colla. Pezzi piccoli liberi nella busta.

Non ho ancora provato il prodotto perchè devo trovare un trasformatore giusto.

In genere i prodotti di Walnut Hallow sono buoni. Pero devono aggiungere più informazione e foto, per dare più dettagli sul prodotto.

Uffa.
