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.

Finally a woodburning tool that burns wood, cuts wood, carves wood, burns me. The sucker really does good!

The burner heats up quickly. The multiple tips are great for a variety of projects. I've always trusted the Dremel name, this burner doesn't disappoint.

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.

Bought this tool as a woodburner in November, 2009. It just went kaput. It quit heating and I'd like to return it. It certainly should have survived a lot longer. I have a couple of older woodburning tools that I use occasionally, but they were never high enough in wattage to get hot enough and would take forever to complete a project. So, I bought this one which worked great for two months. Now it doesn't heat at all. I would probably try a replacement of the same one with the idea that maybe this was just a lemon. But, if it happens again, I would never buy this product again.

I used the knife for about 10 hours of use and like others have stated I had the threaded part of the knife break off inside the tool.. i was able to get the threaded part out of the tool with some work but looking at the other tips for it i see i will most likely have the same problem again. also i have not been able to find a replacement knife tip for it so i am moving on to another maker and see if i have better results.. worked great until it broke.

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've been using the tool no more than a total of 5 or 6 hours at the most and it went cold on me.

You get what you pay for.

A versatile, good quality tool! The multiple tips expand use to more than just woodburning. A convenient resting stand is included and much appreciated. Include this on your 'wish' list!

The Dremel 1550 Versa Tip Mult-Tool was listed as a woodburning tool, but has other uses. I bought it for woodburning, have tried it a few times so far, and it's a good starter for the craft. For the price, it's hard to beat.
