Fashion Lee Valley Multi-Function Heat Pen Set

While this tool serves as an excellent soldering gun, it’s useful for much more. With variable heat control and 11 different interchangeable tips, it has a range of applications that include pyrography, stencil cutting and hot stamping.

Being able to adjust the temperature (to 510°C/950°F) lets you apply pyrography designs to wood, leather, paper, plastic, fabric and even ceramic. It comes with an assortment of pyrography tips – universal, flow, tapered, shading, calligraphy, cone and mini universal points – most of which can also be used for soldering. The set also includes a regular soldering tip, a hot-knife tip for creating crisply detailed stencils and other cut-out designs, a mini flow point and a stamping point.

The 7″ handpiece is lightweight, comfortable and easy to control, with the heat-regulator dial built into the 55″ power cord. All components, as well as a coil of solder, are supplied in a plastic storage case. An excellent tool set with an array of both practical and creative uses.
