Once on a mission, I'm impatient and impulsive, and though this poker is excellent for wood without any sort of grain & perhaps a novice. It's not ideal for the deep grooves I wanted to achieve.
Another reason it wasn't the best buy for me is that I want to change tips constantly and the instructions say to leave it to cool down between changes. I think this is something to do with the thread on the tips that screw into the hot end of the poker. Maybe the copper tip & the steel end cool at different temperatures...I did find that the tip loosened as the gadget heated up so I was constantly having to use pliers to tighten it. Which kinda contradicts the instructions not to change tips while hot!
I also have slightly bent my favourite tip!
So, i'm saving up for something like this, it has 2 pens and apparently there are ways to make your own tips.
