Review on SMART CARRIE Wood Burning Kit: Professional Soldering Pen for Creative DIY - Adjustable Temperature Wood Burner Tool for Embossing, Carving, Soldering & Pyrography by Morgan Gilmore

Revainrating 1 out of 5

No instructions and gets too hot to touch

Super disappointed with this set. It appears to be a very complete set, lots of accessories and parts but no instructions. I have no idea what temperature to set the soldering iron to when burning wood. There are no explanations on how to use different attachments and believe me, there are tons of them. I had to increase the temperature to 900 degrees to get a burnt point. The videos I've seen show fairly instantaneous drawing, but at the rate this thing is burning, I'll be sitting there for three days. In addition, the tool heats up. It gets so hot even with the gloves they give that I have to hold it so high I have almost no control to draw any lines. The solder wire that was supposed to be coiled up and in a little bottle that looks like a tube was partially stretched and simply tossed into the carrying case. Don't waste your money on this and get one that comes with instructions and at least a description of how to use the various tools.

Pros
  • Woodwork
Cons
  • Expensive
