I have been interested in wood burning for quite some time, and this was my first pyrography purchase. The kit comes with a large variety of specialty tips, which makes different style of art quite easy to obtain with just a little creativity. This kit allowed me to make a beautiful set of wooden coasters that I will treasure for years. Please note that this kit serves best as an introductory tool for wood burning. the variable control system has about 5 distinct temperatures, where higher end products will have a degree by degree control. But for a novice such as myself, this works wonderfully.
