(Stage 1) TRUArt Wood and Leather Pyrography Dual Pen Set – 30W and 15W, Gourd (35 Tips, Aluminum Case, Two Pens, Metal Stencil)

I purchased this pyrography set as a replacement for the one I picked up at a craft store days before. The earlier one broke on my very first use, so I was not going to trust that brand again. This set by TRUArt is much better. First, the kit came with several warnings about why tips break in the tool and how to avoid this catastrophe. Now I know how to avoid my previous mistake I had made with the other brand (that never warned me). The booklet that comes with this TRUArt burner has great tips and tricks for beginners, and it provides a few sample patterns. Also, the case is keeps all of the pieces organized, and I like the small tin with the custom heads. The tool itself is comfortable and easy to hold without hurting or burning my hand. I'm very pleased that I have all that I need to learn pyrography. This is a great tool, especially for beginners!

Fun craft project for me and my sister. Just starting but looks like a great product.

The bundle came in a nice little case which made it a wonderful present. It is quite easy to use. The tips included are a good starter set even though couple of the tips do not match the described set. We have done some small projects on wood with the kids during the holiday. They turned out great. The tips came loose on the pen couple of times during burning, but not a big deal. The information included in the package are great. We will be expanding the set and the scope of our projects!

Brought to write on the inside of leather belts I was gifting. Easy to use for beginners. Cant wait to use again on wood projects.

I am a huge fan of woodburning 'art'. There's something about working with wood as a medium, the smell of the smoke it creates, and the tangible, durable results that you get for your work. My 12-year-old son and I love working on projects together.When our current pen burnt out, I searched Amazon looking to upgrade. I was attracted to TRUart's product based on the quality of the pen as well as the assortment of bits offered. But what really swayed me was the instructional insert that TRU art has created as well as the metal box option.I received my product and couldn't have been happier with my purchase. The metal box was well worth the extra cost and there are almost too many bits to choose from. The instructional material was incredibly useful. In addition to tips on protecting my pen and pieces, there were detailed suggestions on how to become a better woodburning artist. My son immediately started discussing future projects and I dove into one that I had paused.I did have a question for TRUart and was skeptical that I would get a response given the COVID-19 impact on retailers. However, there was an individual's name and email provided in the kit and I gave it a try. Within two hours, I had received a response to my questions from the actual person listed in the instructional materials. I was amazed. A real, live proprietor committed to his customer's satisfaction. When does that even happen!?So I will remain a customer of TRUart and hope to see them grow. This sort of customer service needs to be everywhere and I would like to encourage others to shop with TRUart.

I am a beginner in woodburning, just started several months ago. The first wood burner I purchased took quite awhile to heat up and even at highest temperature still required a good amount of pressure to burn the wood. While working on the ornaments I was making it began to bend. I decided to try the TruArt set. It arrived quickly which helped me get the ornaments done in time for Christmas. It is very easy to use, heats up quickly, and comes with a great variety of tips. The TruArt burner gets much hotter than my old burner so I do not have to use as much pressure. It also has a lower heat setting for leather that I have not tried yet but will report back after I have tried it on leather. It is a great price for such a quality set, I would definitely recommend this TruArt set.

This is my first wood burning tools so I’m not positive what to expect. All nibs I use bend as you use them. They unscrew as you use them. Temp goes hotter and cooler as I use tool. Not sure if this is all normal. I love the case. The number of nibs and the extra tools. Only thing you need to add is needle nose pliers to tighten. They emphasize to not over tighten so I’m careful. The two temps are a nice feature not w many other brands. Overall I like it. My guess is I need to learn how to use it.Update after months of use, same comments. Very few useful nibs and the bend even with short use. With the high temp and long use absolutely bent and the heavy angle one that there is two. With a short amount of use, bent and stripped out. Now I have very few jobs and I am in the middle of a project. If you are serious at all go to check out skilled people and check out what they use. Most use the dual and kinda a tube bent in shapes. They do a LOT of work and never have heard of their nibs bending.

Already owning some fairly high end pyrography pens, unfortunately left at vacation home some distance away, I found a need to 'wood burn' a gift project. I could have certainly managed to get by with a far less complete kit. However when considering the many posibilities that this kit allowed from branding letters, to soldering, to transfering patterns, to just plain pyography, in addition to a relatively sturdy and compact storage, it did make some sense to purchase.Some things I did like, the three position slide switch (off/med/hi) allowing one hand switching a hot iron, the lettering template. the variety of included tips, the selection of additional branding tips to purchase.I found this tool comfortable to use for a fairly long pyrography session, although a 'pen' of this type is certainly not as friendly for intricate work as a more spendy one, it does the job ptetty well with its relatively cool and comfortable grip.

Me gusto mucho la variedad de puntas, aunque el plastico del mango se siente de baja calidad y se calienta rápido, para cambiar las puntas espero un bien rato en que se enfrie

I bought it before Christmas. It’s a great tool but missing pieces. It wasn’t closed properly when I got it and no plastic wrapping around it so loose pieces. It was no longer in stock for me to return and get a new one. Tried to email the company and they never got to me. It was only 6 pieces so I kept it. But disappointed by the packaging. I felt like it was a return and shipped out again without proper packaging. The reviews were amazing and it is a great set.
