This is a good tool for small wood-burning projects. It comes with five different tips from:
Universal Woodburning/Leather Crafting Tip
Script Woodburning/Leather Crafting Tip
Soldering Tip
Hot Knife Tip
Fine Stencil Cutting/Woodburning/Leather Crafting Tip
However, it would have been nice to have directions on which tip would work best for certain projects. There are NO directions in the packaging to allow someone who has never used one to skip some mistakes made by trial and error.
It heats up really fast and does a good job for smaller jobs. If directions and recommendations for the tips had been included, this would have rated 5 stars. Four stars for the outstanding features and performance of it.
Again, bear in mind it is for smaller projects.
The entire kit is a handy tool for any garage or toolbox.

I purchased this specifically for the hot knife. After only 10 mins I noticed the base of the tip starting to bend at the threads. I was not misusing the knife or putting undue force on it. It snapped after less than 20 mins of use. The tip broke with part of the threads inside the tool, rendering it useless for anything else. The knife attachment could have been designed better and made out of better material that will stand up to heat. I was expecting more from the Dremel brand. Don't waste your time or money.

I bought this tool for wood burning. The third time I used it, the threaded end of the tip broke off inside the iron rendering it useless. Bummer.

Loving it!
I bought this and the 28 piece tip set. They work wonderfully together! I've been using it on leather and am very pleased with the results.

Broke After a Few Uses
The tool broke after a few uses - the tip got stuck and had to be forcibly removed. The variety of tips was good though.

Plastic Here I Come
I bought this item to mend some broken plastic items I had and I can testify that this product can stand up in battle. I recommend this for the hobbyist not the professional!!!

Not what I would expect from Dremel
This tool has a very poor system for the hot knife function. It also has no replacement blade included and no information on where to find them. Read more

works
Works as advertized so far. But I have bought several wood burning tools in the past. I guess we will see how it does.

High quality tool from Dremel
This burner is excellently priced and the is both durable and well-designed. Although you might pay a wee bit less, you may find (like I did) that you'll be buying another burner... Read more
