Review on πŸ”₯ Walnut Hollow Creative Versa Tool: Enhanced Woodburning with Temperature Control, 11 Point Tips, in Original Version - Basic Pack+ by Beth Wagner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lasted an hour. suitable for wood burning tools

First. Annoying problems. The tool's controls are located far enough along the cable that its light weight can drag the tool to the ground unless weighted or attached to the table. Second. The tool continued to cool. It took me a while to realize that the controller knob had no resistance and moved freely. So if he pulls a tool hanging far down the cord, he's also constantly changing the temperature as he hits anything that touches the temperature dial. I ended up having to seal it with tape to keep it where I wanted it. Now the last and biggest question. All these lumberjacks have one problem in common. If you try to change the nozzle while it's hot, it will break and the nozzle thread will get stuck and the tool may be sent to the bin. The problem does not lie in this deficiency, which, as said, obviously occurs in any of these tools that use brass tips for better heat transfer. The big problem is that the company is aware of this and will not include a warning in their instructions that not allowing the tool to cool before changing tips could be a problem. (Apparently they mention waiting to avoid getting burned, but we have pliers for that. If there was also the possibility of the tip breaking, I might not use pliers and wait for the tool to cool.

Pros
  • Includes 11 replacement tips (Universal, Stream, Taper, Calligraphy, Shading, Mini Jet, HotKnife, Solder and 3 Hot Stamp) plus lead-free solder
